Rec | DELETED INSTAGRAM FOR A FEW YEARS

📈

it’s the only social media app I have/use out of the big ones (twitter, tik tok, ig, facebook?) and I didn’t even notice it was gone, I was in hiding but saw more people than ever before and traveled more than before or after. Seeing people by chance I used to know from online in person made connections stronger. hard to describe the feeling but it felt so good need to do it again even though I barely use it now

Deleting instagram and tiktok and twitter and others

Honestly deleting social media (especially instagram) has widen my capacity for new Real world things in so many ways. Being more creative, having more original ideas, honestly just more time To think!!! I think the first month was an adjustment because it was like a dopamine cleanse, lots of overthinking and feelings of intense boredom A lot of the things projected onto me I realized were not even insecurities of my own but harbored in my brain because of tiktok/instagram I did worry about having FOMO and not seeing what my friends were up to but I can also just text them and ask ??? I feel like instagram especially is a very PASSIVE and superficial way of connecting with people. I definitely feel like my social circle decreased exponentially without it but for the better 🧍‍♀️

It’s been lovely!

It’s allowed me to reconnect with a lot of parts of myself that I’ve turned away from in pursuit of practicality, and it’s nice to feel seen and appreciated! Instagram/Tiktok/Twitter/obviously Facebook give me the ick; I haven’t been a regular user of any public social media site since about 2019 when I stopped using Tumblr, which was my main outlet before. I have a lot of fun connecting with people and seeing the things that are important to them :~)

not being on social media

i've deleted instagram before lockdown and the only social media i've had and still have (but take constant breaks from) is twitter, though it doesn't annoy me as much since i don't follow any person i know in real life. for some reason i felt embarassed saying i don't have instagram when new people i met asked me for it but honestly it was the best decision i've ever taken. not seeing toxic people from my past on a daily basis helped me move on.
