You probably feel like social media has taken over your entire life.

It's sucking dry your childlike joy and creative spark.

It's infiltrated into every crevice of your mind.

At what point did I pick up my phone and never put it back down again?

So you do it.

You do the thing.

You finally delete social media.

And, well, now what?

Here are five obstacles you can expect after quitting social media and why it's worth it.

Well, expect to reach for your phone.

A lot.

Just because you deleted the apps doesn't mean that your brain magically stopped being addicted to your phone.

It's still there, you just lost access to it.

When I first got off of social media, I found myself reaching for my phone just as much as I did before.

I just end up scrolling through my photos or my email.

But I realized that I used my phone as a crutch for any kind of boredom or difficulty.

For example, when I get stuck on something at work, my instinct would be to reach for my phone and start scrolling.

Also expect that you most likely will relapse.

As with any addiction, relapsing is a part of the journey.

I've relapsed and redownloaded the app so many times before

and I noticed that for me a lot of the common triggers would be special events or trips that I'd go on.

I used to use TikTok to search up restaurants and cool places to go.

Of course I would end up getting sucked back into the apps

and stay on it for much longer than I intended to.

That's what these apps are designed to do.

They're designed to capture your attention at a psychological level.

It doesn't mean you're broken.

It literally just means that the platforms are working as they're intended to.

Hey guys, Editing Zia here.

I just want to interject real quick and say

that I'm not trying to imply that I'm somehow better than anyone else for not being on social media.

I genuinely just had a really bad social media addiction to

the point where I would spend 8 to 12 hours a day on social media

and I realized that was really stopping me from doing literally anything else with my life.

So for me personally, I've seen a lot of benefits from getting off of social media

but that's not for everyone and some people can have very healthy relationships with it.

Yeah, that's all.

The apps are not pre-installed on my phone.

It adds a little bit of friction

and makes me think twice about whether whether

or not I really want to use the app

because I'm not going to re-download a whole app just to scroll on my phone for five minutes.

I think for me that's a healthier balance for staying off of social media because it's not about complete restriction.

But if I need it for some sort of research purpose, I do allow myself to do that.

Another thing that you can expect to feel is FOMO.

When you're off of social media, sometimes you quite literally have no idea what's going on in other people's lives.

And because of that, it can feel very disconnecting and kind of make it feel like you don't have friends anymore.

While I did struggle with FOMO in the beginning, over time, I've kind of learned to see as a good thing

because now the people that i talk to

and hang out with are people

that i see in real life people who have my phone number

and can contact me directly i think social media made me feel like i had a lot of friends

because i would like and comment on other people's posts from college

or high school but i wouldn't actually interact with these people in real life so

when i was no longer having these types of interactions it

definitely made me feel like my circle shrunk a lot you're also going to find

that you don't understand pop culture internet culture or memes as much anymore

which again used to make me feel a lot of fomo

because when my friends in real life would bring up some internet trend i would have no idea what they're talking about.

And every single time is always just like, Oh, have you seen this trend?

Have you heard of this?

And the answer is always no, I never know what's going on.

And it definitely made me feel like I was missing out.

But when I consider how much more clarity and control I feel over my life by getting off of social media, I feel like not understanding some internet memes is a small price to pay for that.

One thing that I really struggled with when I got off of social media was that I felt so uninformed.

I used to be someone that pretty much got all of my news off of social media.

And so when I wasn't on it anymore, I felt like I just had no idea what was going on in the world or in politics.

And that was honestly something

that made me feel rather conflicted about getting off of social media because there's a lot happening in the world right now.

It's very chaotic out there.

And I didn't want to feel like I was being complacent to all the injustices that were happening around me.

A lot of times social media would be the first place that you would hear about something.

And so when I wasn't on it anymore, it would just take me a lot longer

because I would only find things out

when other people would tell me about something that happened and I would do my own research.

I think I also began to see that as a good thing.

It has allowed me to create my opinions separate from the opinions of other people.

And I think when you are on social media, a lot of times it can be difficult to distinguish whether something is a belief

that you formed yourself or if it was formed by the millions of other opinions that were on your feed.

It's very hard to distinguish that

because a lot of times what you passively consume can subconsciously affect your beliefs without you really knowing it.

And so that was one thing that I was also struggling with when I was using social media.

I felt like I kind of became an echo chamber of all the opinions I heard online.

So now even though the trade off is

that I don't hear my news as quickly anymore and it takes a bit more effort to gain information.

I do think that's an overall good thing

that I'm learning things through my own research rather than through the lens of someone else.

I do think that social media can be a contributing factor to why our political landscape is so divisive these days.

We do listen to opinions online and end up regurgitating them in our real lives without noticing.

And when your TikTok algorithm sees

that you engage with a lot of emotionally charged political content is going to give you more of that.

And a lot of times it really makes it seem like the world is ending.

And even though in some ways that is kind of true, I don't think it's healthy for the average person to be in taking a constant feed of negativity every day.

Not even being uninformed, but being slowly informed is a small price to pay.

I did not have to consume all that negativity.

The next thing that you can expect is, of course, you are going to be bored.

We all know that our brains are fried.

It's called brain rot for a reason.

Our dopamine receptors are fried.

100

Our attention spans are cooked.

101

We quite literally don't know how to be bored as a society anymore.

102

And I think that there's a lot of damage in not allowing a society to be bored

103

because I think that in allowing yourself to be bored, creativity is born.

104

Inspiration is born.

105

It's really hard to create.

106

It's really hard to do anything meaningful when you're constantly numbing your brain with a constant stream of fast dopamine.

107

It's hard to do hard things when easy things are so insanely gratifying.

108

And that was another reason

109

that I originally got off of social media to begin with was because I felt like I couldn't do challenging things anymore.

110

I couldn't sit down and focus on a project I really wanted to do

111

because it was just easier and more fun for me to go scroll on TikTok instead.

112

Sometimes it takes you being bored, staring at the wall, staring at a blank canvas.

113

And I felt like for me, I lost the skill of being bored.

114

I couldn't go up the elevator for 10 seconds without pulling out my phone.

115

I can't even go to the bathroom without going on my phone.

116

I got so used to filling every single gap of time with entertainment that I didn't have time to just think anymore.

117

So for me, when I first deleted social media, it felt like an uncomfortable silence.

118

My brain wasn't used to being so under stimulated.

119

But I think once you get over those initial feelings of discomfort, it becomes a lot easier for you to sit down

120

and read or sit down and draw or do something creative to lean into your hobbies.

121

Because yes, it is extremely hard to create when all you do is consume and consumption is not a hobby.

122

Getting off of social media is just insanely under stimulating and you're going to be bored.

123

But I think that there are great things on the other side of boredom.

124

So yes, I just told you all these reasons why you're going to struggle getting off of social media, why it's going to suck.

125

So why is it worth it to do it anyways?

126

The silver lining here, getting off of social media gave me three noticeable improvements to my quality of life.

127

One, your friendships and your relationships will be few, but they will be deeper and more meaningful.

128

Yeah, it's going to feel like you're losing friends, but it also gives you so much more time and energy to really nourish the ones that you care about.

129

Social media gives us the illusion that we're surrounded by people and yet we still feel so alone.

130

Shutting out that noise allows you to focus on the people who really matter.

131

Number two, you will find inspiration.

132

Like I said, great things are bred out of boredom.

133

You have to allow yourself to be bored.

134

You have to allow yourself to be understimulated for any creativity to flow.

135

I've personally started passion projects such as this YouTube channel.

136

And last but not least, number three, you will develop your personal style, taste, opinions, and beliefs.

137

When there's no longer the noise of everyone else, it becomes a lot easier for you to understand what you truly like.

138

Our generation is going through an identity crisis.

139

We so deeply fear the loss of individuality, but the only way to truly know yourself, understand yourself, is by giving yourself time to be alone.

140

And that means cutting out the noise.

141

Do you really like that thing?

142

Do you really want to buy it?

143

Do you really believe in this cause?

144

Or have you just been influenced?

145

All right, guys, that's all I have for you today.

146

Thank you for joining me again.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
