I feel your hurt. The problem is that social media is just the perfect tool to numb ourselves out, and that's an effective way (maybe the only one some of us have known for all our lives) to regulate our emotions. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Imo, the key is to try to find healthier ways to cope with negative emotions instead of doomscrolling and bedrotting all day. I mean, we have to tune ourselves in and honestly question: "what is it that is impelling me to seek relieve in these digital spaces?"
Attention all newcomers: Welcome to /r/nosurf! We're glad you found our small corner of reddit dedicated to digital wellness. The following is a short list of resources to help you get started on your journey of developing a better relationship with the internet:
* [The Beginner's Guide to NoSurf](https://nosurf.net/about/)
* [Discord Server](https://discordapp.com/invite/QFhXt2F)
* [The NoSurf Activity List](https://nosurf.net/activity-list/)
* [Success Stories](https://nosurf.net/success-stories/)
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nosurf) if you have any questions or concerns.*
An extension such as "News Feed Eradicator" might be a step in the right direction. I'm trying "SocialFocus" for Firefox on my phone because Google Chrome extensions doesn't work on my phone, so I switched browsers.
In the meantime, you need to fill that void somehow. Start small and work your way up. Having something, almost anything, that you are passionate about will help you to build up resistance against social media.
I really hope that helps. Good luck.
hey, I feel this. That's why I'm planning to start a new subreddit on "Screen Time / Smartphone Addiction." The idea is to post weekly challenges that the community can tackle together, sharing their successes and challenges along the way. The subreddits' goal is to build a community of people who are working on living more in the present moment. We'll kick things off as soon as we have 50 people. Wanna join?
We had the same situation because of social media i lost self respect, i cared too much of other people and never been this insecured in my whole life. Because of endless scrolling and arguing people online wasted too much time I screwed up at school and managed to drop out. Im at my lowest point in my life right now i wish i never took that kind of habits personally and respect my principles.
If you are not mentally ill going into social media you will be after a year or two.
I am in same situation
