1 year without social media and now I couldn't imagine going back

Social Media

I want to share this as a sort of attempt at boosting your hope and motivation to continue to stay off social media.

I'm 18 and deleted social media in April of 2025. It has been one of the most life changing decisions I've ever made (for the better) and I just want to share that after about a year, it starts to feel weird to even think about bringing social media back into your life. It feels weird to think about the fact that I used to be so addicted to it.

I started to realize how weird stories, posts, sharing every part of my life, being obsessed with other people's lives and being dependant on likes to boost my confidence are.

It gets to a point where you can easily say that you'd never want to use social media ever again. It just gets easier every day and you'll be happier each day.

You'll all reach this point I promise ❤️❤️

If u want any advice or tips lmk in the comments :)
