Quitting Social Media

Social media allows me to more easily keep in touch with friends who live far away, but I will admit it has gotten more consistently awful over the years. Political shit on facebook used to be universally hated and was limited to boomers, now every other post I see on any website is some long political rant by people who have no clue how to world actually operates and think constant wokeposting is somehow going to make a salient difference

It's good for dopamine gainz. Quit scrolling mindlessly and start lifting my niggar.

I quit FB about 10 years ago. I was spending hours per day, into the night looking at pictures of people I didn't even know. Grades in uni were not great, relationship with wife was slipping too. Best thing I ever did. Steer clear of social media. It makes one envious, jealous, narcissistic and distracted from things that actually matter in life.
Now: new job, my wife (together for 16 years, married for 10) and I are stupid for each other, two kids, found God with JBP and JLP, and love my life.
Good luck.

i deleted my facebook account, i mean deleted the entire profile through the secret link that you have to dig up to get to, back in 2016 when everyone was being divisive and opinionated as fuck and you couldn't so much as have a centrist look on any fucking thing without becoming an enemy of fucking everyone around me including people i worked with. i have a throw away snapchat for hookups and a throwaway twitter for following the few funny accounts i like. nothing i have actually ties back to me whatsoever. the most socialization i do on the internet is here and no one knows who i am here.

also fitness.

I wish I could give up Facebook. I rarely post nowadays, but still hop on the feed daily for some crumbs of entertainment. I don't even know why I bother as it's way less active than it was years ago, before the pro-feminism push by the MSM.

I'm only using it less because there's less content to occupy myself with beyond advertisements and spam from pages I've liked. Most of the time, I just use it for the messenger feature, and even then I'm finding myself talking to less and less people anyway.

I stopped browsing Yas Forums for an entire day yesterday and had a lot more energy to do boring shit like reading a book and studying. This video explains it well:

the thing is I did all things I had to do yesterday, so today I'm back to browsing Yas Forums lol. But I'll make sure to have dopamine detox days from time to time. Pro tip: if you are finding yourself mindlessly scrolling social media just STOP. Go sit somewhere away from the computer (maybe meditate) and think of all the stuff you have to do. Not many people realize this, but this is all you have to do to be succesful. Obviously there are nerds who studied instead of playing games from the start of their childhood, but it has its downsides too (its still an addiction, just maybe not as harmful and more praised)

It is not about focus. It's that you are used to easy dopamine boost from social media and the amount of dopamine you get from reading a book is much smaller. Getting rid of things that make you feel good very easily, will make things that make you feel good harder easier to do.

Yeah I know that man I just didn’t go in depth. The thing is need to get rid of (my dopamine vices) are fapping/porn, vidya, social media, and coffee. Guess I’ll start with nofap then social media (I noticed when I nofap I barely use social media) then vidya then coffee. Wonder if I can ditch them all in only a couple weeks

I technically don't exist anywhere but here.

I never had FB

This is my only social media and it's anonymous as it should be. I honestly don't even remember facebook and the others. They offered nothing, twitter was like a preschool version of Yas Forums for retards. Facebook was stupid, and instagram was boring. It was all boring. This place is the only social media worth going on. This is like doug stanhope while most social media is for braindead retards and is like chris rock.

This. I don't even like letting the retard box dictate my driving. I hate that dumb bitch telling me when to turn. Just show me the line on the map, I'm not retarded and I don't need turn by turn directions.

I quit Facebook ten years ago when I dropped out of college because I always posted cringe and I didn't want to see everyone being successful

I deleted literally all social media after a breakup. Realized I only had it to be there with my girl. Much happier and get more work done. Its all vapid and I wouldnt want a wife with heavy social media anyways.

I deleted FB, never had a Twitter cause I thought it was gay and I was right. Had Snapchat but it's shit so deleted. Only one I still have is Instagram (FB I know) just to keep up with friends my age and look at thots without as much of a boomer plague tho I figure that will change.

Deleting FB helped a lot tho I used to be one of these personality less retards that argued politics then I deleted, had sex and now I'm only slightly autistic

I have quit social media and I am never coming back to it.

Agree

I quit everything which was just facebook/myspace/insta. It makes to harder to arrange shit and stay in touch, but it was better for me overall. FB just saturates your free time in a feed of some really low IQ bragging/bitching/drama/useless shit. There's plenty of other reasons to get out of social media but that was a big one for me.

I think I've been out 10 years or so now.

I rarely used social media. The only stuff I'd use was Facebook while I was in college since I could be in touch with my classmates through groups or Messenger, but after I finished, no one ever contacted me again. I still open it every few months out of curiosity but there's nothing but shitty memes and most people I knew apparently don't use it anymore either.

Twitter I have it only to follow artists and save pictures, anything loosely political goes straight to the ignore list.

I have an addiction to IG, how do I get rid of it boyz?

I deleted my facebook in 2012. I dont miss it.

Literally how? That shit is boring

if you have a tendency to compare yourself to others, it can be a source of depression
once you understand the only guy you should compare yourself to is yesterday-you, it's fine to browse facebook

Had some bullshit in school with a teacher who would always humilliate me, mock me, my family, encouraged classmates to do the same and always looked at me with deep hate, once he almost got physical. He told me that I was a disgusting person and a potential school shooter, that I'd never amount to anything in life and that he'd call the cops on me. So I refuged myself in that cesspit

>social media

Where do you think you are OP? I have no friends so who the fuck do i add? Last social media i had was fb 7 years ago.
