I got a call from a loved one, “I need your advise?” She said “I’ve been doing social media since I was 15 years old. It’s like an addiction and I feel like I’m wasting hours of my life that I can’t get back. Now I’m thinking about stopping, but it’s so hard!”
I told her “You don’t need praise, likes, and distractions in your life. Social media can be toxic if you’re unprepared for the hate you will encounter. You are very young and have a bright future ahead. Don’t give the haters a platform to attack you. Just quit and don’t look back. No regrets and just look forward.”
10 minutes later, she sends me this screenshot. “PERMANENT ACCOUNT DELETION.” She cancelled all her social media accounts just like that! I was so proud of her!!!
I also told her, “At 21 years old, you don’t need your 30,000 followers. You just need your family and friends because we won’t just “like” you, we LOVE YOU!
2 days later, she tells me “Omg, life is so much better now. I’m so happy!”
