So I Deleted Social Media

I deleted social media! (deactivated 2 instagram accounts, main and second account and 1 facebook account) I don’t really use facebook, but I link them with both my instagrams because elders in my family use facebook more, so just want to keep them up to date with me.
But, not anymore, I don’t want anyone to be up to date with me anymore. uHM. Yea.
Might be a phase, but in doing so, I also decluttered my phone. I un-installed a lot of apps on my phone, ones that I never use really. Now my phone looks, uHM, bland. But it’s okay. Tbf it’s only been 5 days, so I’m doing fine for now. But we’ll see. I’ll update here whenever I want to say something about it.
Things I’ve noticed:
- In social settings, whenever I don’t feel like talking, I uh, can’t do anything on my phone, cus I have nothing … I mean, I can read my e-books, but idk. But usually, I reach out to instagram. I reach out to instagram throughout the day tbh, so not having instagram anymore gives me nothing to do in such situations, so I am somewhat forced to be present.
- Like I said, I reach out for instagram throughout the day, I mainly posts stuff. uHM, overshare yea. So, not having that no longer makes me overshare stuff.
- I go to youtube more now. But, I just deleted youtube after seeing this video one year off social media, an update, so we’ll see how it goes. Plan is, to only watch youtube on my laptop, so I would be more mindful on what I watch, instead of just going on youtube shorts.
