i deleted tiktok for the summer 

who's joining me in this so I wont feel so alone? 😁😁

i don't use social media about six months and i feel alive,no compare no short videos life is great. just youtube

“how to play a Bm chord no borax no glue” is genuinely the realest thing i’ve ever heard i hate that chord sm it’s so frustrating 😭😭

i deleted tiktok right after quarantaine and recently i've also deleted instagram. honestly; people underestimate how much the negative things online affect them!! i feel so much better without social media, even though it was v hard in the beginning

I deleted Tiktok for the summer as well - 2 years ago - and I haven't gone back since. I think it is one of the best things I ever did!!!

deleteting tiktok is seriously a decision i'm proud of,, its been 2 months i deleted it , i planned to come back during summer, but actually , my focus and my time management have been improving since i deleted this app sooo

I think the best thing I ever did in my life was delete Tik Tok. It made me live my life completely empty. The vast majority of my time was spent addicted to the screen, and I had forgotten how beautiful real life really is. When I look at it now, I see that real life is actually very different from social media. I don't know, the artificiality of that place disgusts me now

never even got a chance to get off tiktok by myself, it was banned in my country and honestly? the problem does not lay there only i find little to no changes in my life, and maybe it was even better before because i used tiktok as a source of inspiration and a place of connection with others so, saying this, it's really not that hard to delete tiktok, but self-improving after this is a whole another skill that you need to learn, and if your life after deleting certain social messages became better, it's mostly because you wanted to get better and you made special effort for this be proud of yourself!! and know that you, as in anyone reading this, can make your life better only if you're full of enthusiasm for living, it won't come from the outside ❣ love yourself, and love the world around you

I deleted tik tok almost 1 and half years ago and it’s nice, no constant flashes of sounds in my head all the time and no staying on the phone for 7 hours straight

i havent had tiktok since september and i feel so free when people talk about trends that i have no idea about. keep going trust me its so worth it

I haven’t had tiktok since 2020 or 2021. I honestly don’t even think about it anymore, I hardly even realize it still exists

lol this video came at the right time it’s like a sign. I had deleted Tiktok back in November but I’ve recently downloaded it again and slowly felt the addiction coming back.

ive been trying to learn guitar this year and that shit is soooooo humbling 💀😭

I got rid of TikTok at the start of my senior for year of uni. Figured it'd help me focus more, and now that I've graduated I honestly feel that the last few months have allowed me to slow down and enjoy other activities more than scrolling scrolling scrolling! Here's to a summer of no tiktok!!🎉

I deleted tiktok some months ago and I have to say I don't miss it at all. Since I got used to not having it I feel so much better, because I somehow gained control over my own time by trying to make the best of it instead of just scrolling. Anyways good video as always!! I love your vlogs and it really makes my day when you post something ^_^

this takes me back full circle to the first vid i watched of you which was the social media detox

i deleted my tiktok about two summers ago and haven't had it since! im so glad because i was spending an ungodly amount of time on it. a few months ago i deleted Instagram and twitter too. i don't know that i am that much more productive, i still spend a lot of time on my phone, but i don't feel like its corrupting my brain as much lol. i feel super old when someone mentions a trending tiktok audio though 😭 the process takes time, and is tough but possible!! my transition from tiktok, to Instagram reels, to youtube shorts is insane. i can't have the youtube app on my phone because i will scroll for hours and hours. i also was finding myself 'bored' in situations where i shouldn't be, like watching Netflix and wanting to watch tiktok, but substituting it for something like a game on your phone and then something crafty to do with your hands without a screen is nice. everyone who is going to give this a shot, i wish you so much good luck. you can absolutely do it. you have lived without tiktok before with a less developed brain and can definitely do it now!!

i loved this is how you lose the time war, its such an interesting concept and so beautifully written!! as for beach reads, anything by taylor jenkins reid but specifically malibu rising is THE perfect summer read with amazing vibes :)

wow ur the positivity i’ve been looking for 😭😭 i rlly love how ur up to do new things it’s so encouraging and refreshing!! defo earns u a new subscriber ☺️💗

I think you just saved my summer. And that's why I'm so grateful to you!

Hey, I'm so happy for you! I've deleted TikTok 8 Months ago after being addicted for 4 years, honestly most of the time I don't even think about it anymore. I absolutely don't miss it, I would never install it again and not sure if this correlates but my life really improved over the last few months. I'm socializing way more than before and I do really much for university compared to back then. Honestly my screen time is still horrifying, which is why I'm generally trying to shorten my mobile phone usage rn, but one step at a time :)

I'm doing this this summer! its day two and I'm realizing my attention span and dopamine receptors are literally fried. I'm getting back into my old hobbies from middle school and it feels so weird. It also feels kind of lonely without the illusion of being with people through the phone. It also feels weird to form opinions and tastes in style and music without validation from TikTok influences. its so hard but I'm sticking with it in hopes of it improving my mental health

thank you for sharing those links!!!❤

Hola! soy Mel, de Argentina, es el primer video que veo y me encanto tu aura y forma de ser, me sentí inspirada a volver a conectar conmigo y te lo agradezco, espero ver mas videos tuyos

I really reallyyyyy like the books: aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe + part two, and one last stop!!

Girl u gave me motivation 😟✨✨✨

omg i love the way you film your videos, very cool very slay. also i have deleted tiktok (and twitter) about 2/3 years ago because it was getting really bad on my productivity and self esteem and deleting it was one the best decision that i made lool that is crazy to say. i feel really inspired by your videos lately :)

just discovered ur channel through this video and you’re literally so me omg

I love ur videos and I’m soo excited to see what you create 🙈

i havent deleted tiktok yet, but i’ve been more mindful of how i use it. usually just for edits or art, and i won’t go over 30-40 minutes. this video and comments are very encouraging too… i wanna fix my attention span. and just actually live life, fully

No social media going strong 💪🏼

hi. ive been struggling really bad mentally and ive been thinking a lot. this video was really interesting and its really inspiring me to actively try and get better. i know im just some random person on the internet but really thank you a lot. just from watching this video im already deciding to stop talking in a vent channel on discord and im planning on trying to spend less time on discord itself. im very hopeful i havent felt this way in a long time,, thank you !!

This is the best poem I have received today. I am very happy to see you❤️😢 And your voice is beautiful I really love u

I haven't had tiktok downloaded since March 2023 and I've never felt better

Girl I Love u from the first video!!🎀

i love watching you so much🫶 honestly you’re my comfort RU-vidr!!

I've deleted most of my social media. It's been 3 weeks and I've honestly never felt happier!!!

i’m so happy for you ❤

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and omg I LOVED IT, I relate to you so much 😭😭 I mean I also love when I can't stop thinking about a book (especially because I'm reading again after 4 years without doing so), I'm also trying to learn to play guitar, I'm not a movie girl but now I wanna start watching movies, and I HATE my adicction to social media and it's SO true that I only feel alive when I'm not using my phone. I really really really liked this video, thanks for motivating me into taking more time for my hobbies 😸🤍

Deleting TikTok and snap is 100% one of the best things I’ve ever done ngl especially as a 15 year old girl with exams and struggling with comparing myself

guys i don’t have tiktok since 2020, quarantine, and it feels sooo free even if to compare with my friends

i havent been on tiktok for the past like month and its honestly the most profuctive ive been since i downloaded

Great video, I feel I need to take more phone/social media breaks this summer. I might focus on my writing

I deleted tiktok for ever. Tiktok is one of the worst social media. I know because I used it and one thing I did was develop ADHD and couldn't last more than 30 seconds, because that's about how long 90% of the content on tiktok lasts.

i deleted tiktok and instagram. it was a hard decision but i was feeling too bad and they were no help. seeing people being happy, being rich, being everything that im not was totally a mess for me. especially all the women who has perfect body, face, partners and life made me feel like im the black sheep. it's been 2 weeks since i deleted them and i feel a relief. life is so much more than instagram posts, life is so much more than a short form video. i decided to buy a journal to track my healing and already i gained my focus span back, feeling more energized, not having that anxiety that apps gave me, feeling like myself again. p.s: if you're struggling with what to do when ur not online on tiktok or instagram here is a list I made for myself. maybe it helps u too❤ -reading a book -trying a new recipe -go for a walk -cleaning and organizing your space -bullet journaling -learning a new language -having a part time job for summer -writing poems/songs -trying a new instrument -make a video diary -doing origami -trying diy projects -film ur own short movie -try sewing/crocheting -take online courses dont forget that there are so much more than just scrolling! gain your life back, be the epitome of it girl/boy/person. i trust you and believe you. go for it!!!

I love your outfits!!

girl.. im new to ur channel and i loveee your energy so much

this video describes perfectly how i want to spend my summer

Heyyyeyyeyeyeyy!! I read Frankenstein last summer and it just made me so so happy and it was so fun and light. I highly recommend it!

I did that, it lasted long tbh, but when I redownloaded I became even more addicted idk what to do 😭

I've been slowly deleting social media over the past year and I'm really happy with my decision, TikTok was especially hard and I actually got anxious thinking about missing out, but I slowly got over it. For me, it was such a clutter and now I feel more free to pursue hobbies and enjoy media I kept putting off.

I deleted all my social media other than RU-vid and Pinterest like 6 months ago and it’s honestly been so good

I deleted tiktok almost 3 years ago and lemme just say it's super weird, not for me individually but when talking to other people. It's such a fast media app that's also just filled with brainrot so lets just say i was hella lost(still am) when people kept using the words like "baefy, bookie, skibidi toilet, Karma's a b****" and much much more. Especially with a lot of music artist and clothings trends. I've been used to it for a while being away from the app so i wouldn't say i feel alive just that its a new normalcy. I ain't never downloading it again tho. The first thing i notices is how my screen time went from 6 hrs to 1-2 hrs these past years.

I deleted instagram for the summer and its one of the best choices i've ever made. I've learned how to do new things, express new ideas and learned that everything doesn't depend on scrolling or liking. I have also been saving money and being more musical like of course getting a guitar. I also deleted instagram in summer of 2021 which leads me back to that time and it makes me more independent.

sending love your way marguie💕

I deleted tiktok like a month ago, downloaded it a couple days ago and decides to delete again. It really does make a difference. No mindless scrolling

i never had tick tock but i significantly decreased my time on instagram the past week and i so proud of myself.this summer i want to learn to enjoy to do things alone, not just do them.i don't have friends for a long tie now but i spend so much time thinking "what if i had friends..".anyway, i guess time off the instagram will help me with all of that.

About summer books! i would recommend «to Kill a Mockingbird” Harper Lee and “Dandelion wine”- totally summer reading by Bradbury 💕

yes do it guys it's so worth it. i deleted tiktok for 6 months and felt at my highest. i got it back and i feel low. I decided to delete it again a week ago and ive been feeling better. It only takes 22 days to form a habit. There's so much to do in the 4-6 hours spent on tiktok a day and we just are blind to it. instead of bed rotting this summer i highly recommend just putting your fucking phone down and going outside, it feels great.

the way i have ryan's new video queued up right after yours?? love u both!

OMG I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL M SO HAPPPPYYY!!

your smile is sooo waarm ❤

AMAZING VIDEO WHAT. my thoughts exactly

I had a hard time deleting tiktok but luckily, my country did that for me. 😅

You randomly appeared on my fyp and this video really inspired me to do the same so thank youuu🫶🫶and u just gained a new subscriber

I can HIGHLY recommend “Imogen, oviously” which is also a light gay romance book. I’ve actually also read it on the beach, it’s perfect for summer! And it’s so inspiring to see how you’ve deleted Tiktok, because I’m currently trying to do the same ;) good luck!!

13:00 u have to read xoxo from axie oh and heart bones from Coleen Hoover !!!

I’ve never had tik tok and never felt better

I deleted TikTok for the first time (in 5 years) over 6 months ago now and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I felt like I got some bit of control over my life again.

I unintentionally decided around November/December of 2023 to drop all social media (except RU-vid) for a while since it was taking a toll on my mental horribly. At first, it wasn’t easy and I would alway go back for a quick minute every other week especially to twitter but as of June 8th, I haven’t touched twitter since February 11th(had to talk about the Super Bowl lol) and tbh, this simple change was needed. It wasn’t really intentional at first but I’m still glad I did it 😁😁

I love your videos, it feels like I am just on facetime with a friend

راح اشوفة من اخلص ثلاث ساعات من الدراسة

Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend ❤❤

also, i absolutely loved "essays of love" by alain de botton. he's a philosopher, and he wrote a similar book as Dolly Alderton but a more philosophical approach? it's not super "light" but not heavy or too hard to understand either. i really liked it

Hi! i just found your channel! I'm stuggling a lot with my mental health right now and I have been thinking about deleting instagram ( i dont have tiktok since 2022 but im now addicted to reels) im scared but that just proves to me how dependent i am from it. this is probably my last summer before university and i want to make memories instead of being stuck in bed all day. i haven't done it bc i am scared im gonna lose contact with my friends bc im really bad mantainning contact and sending reels is the easy way ig. i just want to say that i really liked your video and your channel :D (sorry for my english, its my second language :') )

everyone check the description and help

it's been a year without sodial media. I've never felt better.

Honestly i want to delete tiktok too. Last summer all i was doing is scrolling for hours. I used to be so much into art and sketching but i quited because of the little time i had. I want to start again and become beter at it. But i dont know how:(

Not the tiktok ad right before the video😭

I don’t use tiktok but I binge watching yt videos 🫠

2:13 main vocal, main guitarist,main visual and queen of stage presence damn you really ended careers in just a few seconds!!! 😔

summer reading by jenn mckinlay is a beach read! ♡

listen, this is actually so cool! I deleted tt (account so that I would never go there again) back in August of last year and it was the best decision. now I feel that I have a lot of time and I started to feel much better p.s. says my addiction: sometimes i miss him a lot(

I am proud of you for taking care of your mental health and yourself it is hard but it is healthier to live without it

I am doing this too ! TikTok just let my focus level at the lowest and I really suffer from it in studying for finals :(

I don’t use tiktok, but honestly I should delete instagram cause I spend a concerning amount of time on reels

I was like "It's not that hard" then the second I deleted it my whole body jolted, I was sad all my drafts were gone. I got to thinking, why do they matter? I realise it doesnt. Im gonna go without it, its for the better really

também deletei meu tiktok a umas semanas atrás, até agora não senti muita falta, só de ver os vídeos que meus amigos me mandam 💔 mas eu tava perdendo muito tempo la

LOVED LOVED LOVED

watching you watch ryan crouse was sending me😅 great video!

i just read this book called "far from you" by tess sharpe and i enjoyed the reading. i gave it 3 out of 5 stars (which, for me, it's a good rating laslska). a few things here and there bothered me, but just bc here in brazil it was released last year and it's originily from 2014, so sometimes i was like "girl...?", but yeah it's a fun read! k, not >fun< bc it envolves murder, but you get me 😭

deleted tiktok two years ago and instagram just recently and i feel like a new person lol

watching Ryan videos is so real

I'm m from a pre - internet and social media generation! Overtime I have noticed the damage that excessive use of social media has done to the younger generation especially Gen Z. I am amazed at the bravery and initiative of so many young people here deleting the social media accounts! I have written and posted a poem called :- ANTI - Social Media!

“Yes very healthy life” I say watching this at 1:00 am

The Girls by Emma Cline is a good read :)

don't delete it for summer - delete it for good. did it on january 1st as one of my new year's resolution and it's been one of my best choices ever. also planning to delete instagram as well

I started watching this video because I wanted a break from Insta(I deleted the app but I still see it from Google😅) but also from studying, it's a very busy period and thank you because you reminded me to take moments for myself sometimes.. ( sorry for some mistakes,I'm Italian and I haven't written in English for a long time🥲)

clairo vibes!!!!

I deleted TikTok and instagram for the summer too:) thanks for the video, because of it i started learning guitar, so stay tuned for results lol Also i lost my spark for reading and im trying to found it again. I used to get distracted and go on tiktok. The less. Use the phone, the more alive i feel. Our mom were right, it is the phone
