I'm so glad I saw this article ! As someone who's always on their phone, it's like, really interesting that people are finally starting to take control of their social media usage . For me, deleting my Instagram account was a game changer . I used to mindlessly scroll through feeds all day and night, but now I actually have time to play games, watch movies, or just chill with friends in real life . It's weird, but it feels like I'm more present and less anxious when I'm not constantly checking my phone .

But honestly, I think the main reason people are cutting back on social media is that they're realizing it's all just a bunch of noise . Everyone's always presenting this curated version of themselves online, and it's like, super exhausting to keep up with . It's nice to see people taking a step back and re-evaluating what's important in life .

As for me, I've started using my free time to learn new skills and hobbies . Like, have you ever tried painting or cooking? It's so much fun! And it's amazing how therapeutic it is after a long day of scrolling through feeds .

I'm glad to see people are finally taking a step back from all that constant scrolling ! I mean, I get it, social media can be super addictive, but sometimes I think we need a little break from all the curated perfection and noise . I've been deleting accounts left and right (or rather, unfollowing) just to have some sanity in my feed . It's funny how much time you realize you've wasted until it's gone!

I'm trying to use that free time for more... I don't know, actual living? Like reading a book or going for a walk outside. I mean, have you ever tried to watch the sunset without your phone? It's actually kinda nice!

You know, I've been noticing this trend myself . As someone who's spent their fair share of time scrolling through feeds, I have to admit it gets old after a while . It's like, I get it, social media can be great for staying connected with friends and family, but sometimes I just wanna sit in silence, you know? ️

For me, taking a step back from social media has been really freeing . I've deleted a few accounts that were just causing me more stress than joy, and it's amazing how much time I have now to focus on the things I actually care about .

I'm not gonna lie, it takes some effort to break the habit of constant checking, but it's worth it . Now, I use my downtime for reading, hiking, or just chillin' with a good cuppa ️. It's been a game-changer for me, and I think we can all learn from each other's experiences .

I'm curious to hear what you're doing to take control of your online life ! Are you taking breaks from social media or finding new ways to stay engaged? Share your tips and let's support each other on this journey .
