I deleted insta last month. My friends had largely stopped posting and its content largely became videos of people opening packs of pokemon cards. it was bleak. you don’t need to give then that psychic space. you will rebuild those connections. delete the app

i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

ever since I got this app i’ve been feeling like i should get rid of instagram altogether. recently, i’ve been feeling that even more. i get so overwhelmed on that app. i feel like i see too much of everything! and they’re constantly explaining why everything in our lives is killing us or that i’ve “been doing X wrong“ my whole life. and there are a few good moments every now and then, but i feel like they don’t outweigh the mental toll it takes on me. ive deleted instagram before for social media detoxes, but this feels like it might be a bit more permanen. anyway, that’s all. just wanted to share!

stop letting people have so much access to you!! someone was lowkey obsessed w/ me recently (not a humble brag, not fun) so I deleted the apps they were messaging me on and now I am free. and you know what?? none of those other people needed to talk to me either. give me a facebook friend request to be a real friend, clown. we’re going back to 2009.
