your close friends (or anyone who brings light and encourages you to authentically be yourself) are the only people you need. i promise. instagram is so so so evil when you’re constantly stressing about impressing people or tailoring your internet prescence to look cooler. as someone who has been chronically online for > 10 years it is SO REFRESHING to just hit restart and have 20 people following you. Like …. make that finsta your main! tell people you “don’t really use instagram” unless you genuinely want them to see you! it’s sooo freeing and fun to not have a social media presence you care abt

Generally speaking, I wanna reorganize the way I use the internet. I wanna participate and interact with people. I feel like on Instagram I’ve been worrying too much about the mystique I create for myself, like I’m constantly advertising myself. It feels icky and I’m ready to give it up.

i've deleted instagram before lockdown and the only social media i've had and still have (but take constant breaks from) is twitter, though it doesn't annoy me as much since i don't follow any person i know in real life. for some reason i felt embarassed saying i don't have instagram when new people i met asked me for it but honestly it was the best decision i've ever taken. not seeing toxic people from my past on a daily basis helped me move on.

Honestly deleting social media (especially instagram) has widen my capacity for new Real world things in so many ways. Being more creative, having more original ideas, honestly just more time To think!!! I think the first month was an adjustment because it was like a dopamine cleanse, lots of overthinking and feelings of intense boredom
A lot of the things projected onto me I realized were not even insecurities of my own but harbored in my brain because of tiktok/instagram
I did worry about having FOMO and not seeing what my friends were up to but I can also just text them and ask ??? I feel like instagram especially is a very PASSIVE and superficial way of connecting with people. I definitely feel like my social circle decreased exponentially without it but for the better 🧍♀️
