I related way too hard to you talking about entering existing friend groups. It's particularly hard to make friends in university when you're in your final years (that's what I have found anyway). We are all getting through it together :)
Love love loveeee the calming and gentle vibe of this video.❤️🩹 I feel like it matches and reflects you so well, which makes sense cause it's just a regular week in your life !! I didn't find it boring at all and think vlogs like these are so peaceful and healing !!! Love ya Gillian 😊💕
I'd love to see a video where you discuss all your realizations during your journey and how quitting social media has changed the way you think!! thanks for the video again ☺️
oh my stars ! life has been so busy and i have never been so grateful to finally catch up on the videos!! Happy Birthday Gillian !! Continue being amazing at all you do !!💞💞💞💞
I think recognizing that you are conventionally beautiful in society is important when talking about your confidence being improved from being away from social media. Self love is inherently more difficult for most people in larger bodies or people who have less common facial features and that’s just life unfortunately. I’ve been on different ends of the spectrum, it’s 100x harder to not have negative self thoughts when you’re constantly getting looked down upon by strangers irl. If you’ve never been in a larger body (not saying you specifically) that can be difficult to fully grasp. Hopefully that didn’t come out harsh! I just think its important to mention in this type of conversation
I just deleted my social media besides Facebook as I speak to family members from back home. As I found life without social media I felt more happier and wasn’t making my mental health state strained😊
All the topics you spoke about were on point. Social media isn’t a bad thing but it all depends on how you use it. I’ve developed a dependency with my phone, first time acknowledging the dependency, I knew about being attached or addicted to it but this dependency isn’t healthy whatsoever. I find a lot of work on social media but I feel as if I use that as an excuse to feed my dependency. I am 22 & have no hobbies, family or community. Social media makes me feel so behind in life & since it’s so effortless to go on it, it deeps the feeling. I know not everyone is going to have it figured out at this age but there’s been times where I delete social media realize how good my life is & then I redownload it, makes me feel bad again but yet I still spend all day on social media. And the cycles continues… I don’t like this unhealthy cycle I’ve developed. I want it to end.
I found your channel a few days ago, right when I decided to quit social media completely. I'm a writer too, and I find you so inspiring!! all the scrolling and overstimulation that came with it made me so distracted and even scared of actually taking action and getting back to writing my novel, and you helped me realize it's still... possible?? idk how to word it, but thank u!!<33
Great video! I went towards a "more extreme" route that many would think and just rid of the browser altogether. I only left the apps that I would need like mail, banking apps, phone messages. I use my phone as well just a phone, the rest of my time on the internet is for my MacBook.
Congratulations for 6K 🤍, also i have 15 pro but i have this fomo because people always says you have a good phone you have to be productive on social media platforms! But i don’t have the interest on it 🤣🙃🥲💔 .. so i feel bad but inside i feel like just do what you want girl 🫠
Who has ever said you have to be productive on social media? I don’t think anyone has ever said that i think it’s in your head because like you said you have FOMO. Social media is nonsense unless you use it for learning and educating yourself then it’s worth using.
Living in a small town I feel llke my only connection to people is social media which ultimately stops me from fully deleting social media, but this definitely has pushed me to stop posting. I've considered doing video journals but I worry about people I know finding me LOL.
Only 2 minutes into the video and already feel represented by you. Folklore is my favourite Taylor Swift album, followed by 1989. AND the archer may be like a top5 taylor Swift song for me
