I have been trying to let go of my social media one by one. But when threads came out, I couldn’t help but sign up for it 😅 I think I have the I have to have an account on all social media platform kind of addiction. Thank goodness I don’t have Tiktok account or I would’ve really completed having accounts on all the trending social medias
I already deleted snapchat and twitter (now X) apps on my phone. I didn’t deactivated my account tho. At the moment, I’ve logged out of my Facebook and debating whether to delete the app or leave it as is. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I’m planning to be only active on instagram and threads—mainly on my bookish accounts—oh, and my messenger account. I even deleted my old threads post on my personal account, well some of them—I might just use it as a photo journal LOL I don’t know. What I’m trying to do is not to post my rants anywhere else aside from my journal.
Reasons why I am getting off of social medias:
1. I’ve been mindlessly scrolling through my fyp every chance I get and I feel like that’s not healthy. It is also the first thing I’d do in the morning *facepalm*
2. I’m trying to be mindful of what I post. The reality is, some people will read too much of what you post even if it meant nothing for you. They will twist the narrative and will add unnecessary drama to it. Even if you just shared a quote that is relatable for you at that given moment, for others, it meant that you are posting it because you’re being passive-aggressive and you are actually insinuating something. You know what I mean?
3. I want to be private again. Though, does it count if I still share my ig stories and instagram photos/videos over on facebook? The only reason I’m sharing my ig posts on facebook is for my relatives to see an update on our daughter.
4. I want to spend more time reading books than scrolling mindlessly through facebook or x
5. I’ve already mentioned it above. I don’t want to post my rants online anymore—well, maybe except here. I’ll try to keep it here and on my journal. If ever I post my rant here, it’s probably more detailed, I’ve already calmed down and I might include some “lessons” learned on it.
Anyway, this is my little social media cleanse and my reasons for it post. So far, I have been doing well keeping it as is. I am not as active liking every stories and viewing my friends’ stories like before. I’ve been trying not to do that now. But I still like posts if it’s on my wall/fyp.
Ciao!
