Social Media IS the Devil

Try this out for a week and see if your life doesn't get a little better. Delete all your social media apps, unless you need them for work... I haven't been on facebook in years but my problem is Instagram. I use twitter for work and it's not really a problem. Just follow some stock guys on there and what not. But INSTAGRAM!! FUCK ME I can't stand looking at everyone else's life and all the beautiful people constantly posting pictures of nice cars, fun times at the club and what not. I deleted Instagram a couple days ago and holy shit my anxiety and depression is much less than before. Doesn't help when your ex is on there too and u still got feelings n shit seeing their posts with other people. SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE DEVIL IN A WHITE ROBE!

Delete your apps for a week and see what happens. You'll become more productive and happy with yourself and your life.

I agree. I once forgot my phone at home and went to work. Didn’t check my phone for hours, which never happens. It felt realllyyy good not checking my phone, looking on Instagram, checking social media notifications. But I’ve learned to just keep in mind that Instagram isn’t reality. It’s everyones highlight reel, the best of the best in their lives, not their day to day lives. Even just the the way people look. It’s funny to see some of these girls on Instagram and then see them in person, almost don’t even recognize them lol. They’re even hotter on Instagram, but again, everyone’s posting their best pics so it’s understandable kinda in a way.

It's a monster that you created. Are you strong enough not to go back?

I'm not on social media anymore. I was out and happened to see a family where one person I was 'friends' with on facebook. They all had down faces on, they go to take a picture and put awesome faces on, right afterward down faces again. Guess what showed on facebook? There are other reasons I'm not on social media, but this is just one of them.

Is the Gym considered social media? I'd miss giving that up for a week

I gave even PEGym honor a year. I had to reprogram myself. Prioritize my life. Still have a Facebook account, but I hardly ever look at it. Some friends and my grandkids are the only reason I keep it. A friend from this site uses Snapchat so I talk to him there. Or reply there. For me there is a distinct difference between the PEGym and other social media sites. I agree about getting over whelmed by social media. Very similar to what happened to me with porn. No judgement in that statement just acknowledgement of how it made me feel in my life.

Facebook? What's that?

Waste of time...besides, I don't like being spied on.

Had facebook once. Then I realized there's nothing to do there except showing off, waste of time and very shallow.
The only reason I'd use social media is for work related things, and collect knowledge from information hubs like pe forums.

I've been off facebook for years. Only reason I started a twitter and Instagram account was for modeling. Twitter isn't much an issue it's more Instagram and Facebook. I can deal without either. But I do like following my stock gurus on twitter.

Good man. Didn't buy into the scheme. Collecting your information and selling it to the highest bidder.

I wouldn't think so. We actually have decent relevant discussions here most times on top of improving ourselves through collective knowledge base and sharing ideas.

I'm on Facebook and here but I ensure myself it's only when I've got free time. Never in company etc. I don't sleep much so it's canny during the night.

The site that can actually swallow hours of my day is Pinterest. I've got to be careful on there!!
