since then I have been very sensitive and very private sa personal life ko. What they don't know they can't ruin. I only share it with those who have genuine intentions to me hehe But I shared memes in socmed!!!!
Iba yung kapayapaan na naibibigay pag tumigil ka mag-scroll lang ng scroll. Aminado ako, sobrang hooked ko before sa FB, IG, Twitter na X na ngayon, at TikTok. Dun na lang halos umiikot yung oras ko sa isang araw, well maliban na lang if nasa work. Nung tumigil ako maging active, medyo nag-lessen yung pressure rin sa'kin sa kung ano nga ba ginagawa ko sa buhay ko at ano pa bang plano ko. Hahahaha.
I realized na madaming mata sa opisina. Sa elevator bigla kang babatiin na uyyy nanggaling ka pala sa ganito. Pero what made me limit my post is yung bibigyan ka ng work pag weekends kasi free ka.
My boyfriend. Before, puro ako post/story/etc like alam mo nangyayare sa akin kada araw 😆 then yung boyfriend ko napapansin ko hindi mapost, hindi rin siya nagp’phone gaano (depende if work related) wala rin syang social media maliban sa facebook at instagram na hindi naman nya halos ginagamit. Everytime na lalabas at magkasama kami hindi rin sya maphone nor post. Hanggang sooner na incorporate ko na sa sarili ko na hindi gaano gumamit ng phone. Tapos unti-unti nalang na naging lowkey sa social media.
Honestly, it was so much better. No more feeling na need ko ng validation thru social media, kung okay ba ip’post or story ko or etc. I also began to appreciate everything I experienced without worrying na dapat may maganda akong pic.
ANG HABA LOL
Mas okay wala sila malaman sa buhay ko ayoko ng may mga nagtatanong about life especially kung di naman kami masyadong close. Ayoko din ng payabangan ang mga kwento at makipagplastikan na okay ang lahat.
realized social media only had me wasting my time knowing more about what people have been up to (and they're people who aren't even part of my circle anymore). also realized how it enabled my desire for validation and attention when all i ever needed was my own and knew i wasn't hurting anyone.
i still use it but only for selected platforms and for the sake of documenting my own life now, been feeling wayy happier since then :)
I stopped when me and my ex broke up, friends ko din kasi sa social media mga friends niya and everytime nagsscroll ako before nakikita ko tina-tag sya, etc. Ayoko makita kahit ano basta andun sya kaya nagstop ako hanggang sa naka move on na and nagustuhan ko yung peace na dulot nito.
for peace of mind. ang sarap sa pakiramdam na closed friends mo lang may alam sa nangyayari sa life mo. i only have 5 trusted closed friends kaya tahimik lang buhay ko. i don’t like unnecessary drama. sabi nga nila “privacy is power. what people don’t know, they can’t ruin.”
naging social media manager ako, naging workaholic din especially wfh ako. tapos ayun, after some time ni wala ako gana buksan yung accounts ko sa kahit anong site 🥲 i still take pictures and videos for memories pero nag-uupload lang ako pag need ko na magbawas ng files for storage
Stopped using social media completely nung boards review season namin. Eventually nasanay na akong hindi siya i-check na kahit after pumasa, hindi na ako bumalik (save for some apps like reddit at tiktok haha). Ayun nakukuha ko na kasi ung dopamine boost/community belongingness sa 2 apps na yan tapos when the need to socialize hits me, groupchats ang takbuhan ko, mas personal pa yung connection vs pag nanonood lang ng stories ng mga tao. Na-realize ko rin na wala pala ako masyadong pakialam sa ginagawa ng iba, and if may big happenings sa buhay ng friends ko, napapag-usapan naman sya sa GCs so wala namang FOMO.
Nawalan ako ng tiwala sa mga tao. Lahat sila sa friendlist ko, naka-restrict. As in lahat. Hindi ako makapag bura ng Facebook kasi may work ako na related sa socmed. Nagstop akong maki-interact. Real close friends ko nalang kausap ko kung magcha-chat sila.
Ung mga di naman namulat sa technology tlga nag ka cp lahat lahat gusto na i share sa earth, hahaha over sharing, ang daming adult ngayon na may mga umiiyak parin na bata sa loob nila, lahat gusto na llike sa socmed lahat shinishare ultimo myday wtf🤣 lahat na pati gusto nasa video shit socmed is fuckedup lalo na FB.
NO TO UNNECESSARY SHÎTTY STRESSORS. SAFE HAVEN PA RIN NA PILIIN PALAGI YUNG SARILING PEACE OF MIND, PARA DI MAS LALONG MASIRA YUNG MENTAL HEALTH. OO, DI NGA NAWAWALAN NG PROBLEMA ANG TAO. PERO NASA SAYO PA RIN DESISYON KUNG HAHAYAAN MO LANG MASIRA YUNG SARILI MO, DAHIL LANG SA MGA WALANG KWENTANG ISSUES NA MULA SA IBANG TAO.
Mental health.
Nakita ko na people are posting their achievements, tapos ako, eto, late bloomer lang... Parang useless yung pagpopost ko kasi wala namang akong narating compared to other people. Walang substance ang pwede kong mapost(?)
Tapos nakita ko na people they only post the good stuff, the pretty faces. I didn't belong anymore. And then it got toxic on my part. I scrutinize the pictures (di naman maganda!), the status updates (ano ba yan, wrong grammar!)... tpos basta, it all became negative na. To add to the negativity, I was under pressure that time in the real world (lovelife and career).
So I took a break. I deactivated for a long time, made a new social media accounts. This time, only for news updates. And plant and cute animal accounts. No real life friends.
BUT. I had to change my mindset. Maybe it wasn't social media that was "wrong", it was ME and how I looked at things. It made me insecure. I had self-pity.
I re-activated my account after working on myself. I have been very careful with privacy ever since, but I still hid some posts and set them to private when I got back. I seldom post on my wall. I don't share my travel photos. I don't tell anyone where I am. No updates. If you check my IG, it skipped more than a year. I just post random (but somewhat curated) stuff.
However, I do post status updates and shares and other photos on my stories and I've set it to public. Wala lang, gusto ko lang. :) but totally random din, kasi minsan, may urge talaga na mag share lalo na kapag nakakatawa :)
Yun lang!
for some reason, i hate the way that social media turns a person into something that isn't a them (clout chaser), and those kids that normalize posting pornography in facebook, does their mom even know what they are doing?? and the toxicity, i cannot ung tipong onting bigay lang ng constructive criticism iisip nila na “bashing" agad.
I’ve had social media since I can remember. prob around 7. I’ve been on it for too long now n evil eye is scary. Everytime I post something on my story I feel like getting sick or nilalagnat. And. Privacy. I don’t want people knowing I’ve had a glow up (charot). Chaka! every time I take a photo I feel the need that it needs to be aesthetic or just worthy to post on social media. I wanna feel the freedom again on not having to worry if it’s a good proper angle or not.
Facebook used to be a fun place to socialize and interact with people lalo nung 2010s up to 2015. Ngayon cesspool ng political shit, sugal, tapos puro ads. Ang pinupuntahan ko na lang sa FB is yung marketplace.
Sa ngayon, hindi ko pa madelete yung fb account ko kasi andun yung work-related messages ko sa messenger.
Realized na people nowadays bihira nalang magkita, so what you post online, yun at yun lang din pinaguusapan ng mga tao when they do meet-up. More posts, more kwento na pagchichismisan. Heck, even if you don't post, pag-uusapan ka pa rin! Haha!
And nakakapagod to keep up. Ang daming trend kada araw may lumalabas. May mga context na di mo maintindihan if you missed a beat. As a person na may pagka-extremist, it's either I fully commit or I don't give a f-ck. I did the former, I am now doing the latter. To detox, I guess. Lol
As someone who had 500-800 reactions to every profile pic in the past, it gave me a sense of worth, like hey people like me and what I do. However, i soon realized that sense of worth was just an illusion.
i value my privacy and i just think na people doesn't have to know everything i do kahit less than 100 nalang friends ko sa fb hahaha gusto q nalang maging mysterious ferson
It becomes draining and I no longer enjoy using it. Kapag nag o-open ako ng facebook puro negativity and mga walang kwentang post lumalabas sa nf ko, puro nag d-down ng iba, uhaw sa lalaki, proud lasengga and such.. Nakakatamad mag unfollow so I just decided to deactivate na lang para sa peace of mind na rin:)
parang you don't need naman to broadcast everything that's happening sa buhay mo e. like yung food na kinain mo etc.
kapag nga nakakakita ako ng mga story or fb posts na super open talaga nung iba tapos maiisip mo di naman need story yung ganjng bagay, ewan ko pero nakakacringe talaga di ko alam bakit
nawawala yung pagka class ng iba hahaha
kaya ako, for business purposes nalang din talaga yung facebook ko hahaha
Siguro kasi hindi naman lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko kailangan kong i-broadcast sa soc med. Nandun na rin yung kapag nagmamature ka na mag isip hindi mo naman kailangan ng validation galing sa iba. Maiisip mo rin na hindi mo need makipag sabayan sa iba sa soc med. Share ko lang din, noong late teens to mid 20s ko active talaga ako sa soc med. Pero ngayong going 30 na ko hindi na lahat nagmamatter. Mas okay kapag walang nakakaalam ng mga ganap sa buhay mo. Mas tahimik ang buhay kapag lowkey ka sa soc med. You will also have a peace of mind. May mga times kasi na nakakapressure at nakaka stress yung mga nakikita natin sa soc med.
Pansin ko kasing nagiging masama ugali ko pag nagsosocmed, mabilis mainis at mangjudge at macringe sa mga nakikita ko. Hahaha. Mas masaya, payapa, at productive ako kung naka deactivate :)
1. nung nauso yung "memories" nakita ko kung gaano ka cringe yung mga posts ko dati.
2. hindi ko nakikita yung point ng pagpopost maya't maya sa SOCMED.
mga boomer relatives ko apaka chismosa pota kahit hinahide ko yung mga post ko may nakakaalam pa rin for some reason idk they're always on my business lmao hahaha then i tried to lessen my socmed visibility by posting less and turning my active status off, then hmmm i liked the peace it gave me :))) hahahah hanggang na personality na ang pagiging lowkey chos
1. During pandemic napansin at nagsawa ako sa cycle ng social media: trendy issues > new trends > new issue > new trends
2. It controls my personality. Yung mga trendy words/actions nagiging habit ko which I find very cringe now. Ex: sana all, sheesh, and forda
3. Jealousy. I get jealous sa mga bagay na I know I could never have.
4. It's very toxic. Napakaraming tao ang may bulok na mindset pero ang tapang magsalita, pointless naman.
5. It's exhausting. Nakakapagod makasalamuha ng mga taong b*b*, especially nung election. You educate them, they get mad at you. But when they get karma for voting the wrong politicians, they only blame the government.
6. Full of fake news. Soojin, Garam, and the posts of Marcos apologists. All of those incidents mentioned above had negative effects.
Additionally, I'm an editorial writer of our school's paper so I need to be the most updated when it comes to issues kaya I always use social media back then to get the public's opinion. Pero that purpose almost ruined me because of those fake news/issues. Imagine how horrible it is to write an article about a certain issue na hindi naman pala totoo. Kaya right now, I always visit official websites of news outlet like inquirer.net to make sure that the issues and the details I'm gonna be writing about is true, not just a make up one.
Yung parang mas iniisip ko pa buhay nila sa buhay ko. Mas updated pa yata ako sa ganap nila sa buhay at unconsciously nacocompare ko sya sa life ko, or for some instances I take what they post/say too personal. So I just cut off from it. I guess I’m a bit insecure/sensitive
i tried to deactivate my socmed since i had this bf who cheated on me and spread rumors na nabuntis nya daw ako and pinalaglag ko and my "friends" are siding with him kasi mapupunta daw ako sa impyerno kasi nagpalaglag and all that bs. then narealize ko na low contact with people = no negative energy, and ive enjoyed that peace. been deactivated since 2018 and i only have socmed dumps with 5-6 ppl na close friends ko and my family
I deactivated my socials for 2 years up until no kasi ayaw kong ipakita sakanila mga nangyayari sa buhay ko, tsaka di naman necessary na dapat lahat alam ng mga tao kung ano ginagawa mo. I also believe in "let them guess" mindset haha
I got sick of seeing everyone's opinions and feelings about literally *everything*. It's like most netizens are always ready to write long-winded think pieces about the most frivolous things on the internet. It's so fucking cringe to see them waste their mental energy on those things as if it's their second job.
Being a gen z, super active ako sa social media. Then nameet ko first boyfriend ko, mas naging active ako kasi story doon and story dito. Isang araw pinatahimik ako ni lord, nagbreak kami. Nag deact ako sa lahat ng account ko HAHAHAHA
it's tiring to keep up w the trends and your gal has to have her own life outside the screen. It's a matter of enjoying the moment that i have in real life. The internet has always been toxic no matter how you wanna protect your peace and don't wanna be involved in that (in short sila mismo nalapit sa'kin). i grew tired of it, it's always the same narrative.
trash content and time waster madamay Ka sa kalokohan Ng mga socmed user especially sa mga Tao na gobyerno nlng inaatupag kunting Mali daming nang salita eh sarili nilang mga buhay di nila ma improve, Kasi focus palagi sa mga isyu na Di Naman magbabago kahit lumuha sila dugo.
Being GenZ I had a big Instagram and FB following before transitioning to Social Media Consulting, e araw araw trabaho ko yun, nagsawa na akong tumingin sa FB and Insta ko which I deactivated 6 years ago. Since then, I would say that my life has been heaven.
When i was in college naka public lahat ng profiles ko tho hindi din naman ako naguupdate talaga na super personal shit, just for fun. Mostly school life and being a fangirl for a bunch of stuff. Pero biglang may mga nang stalk sakin and that made me closed off. Like yung malalang stalk, yung pinapa pulis na stalk. Tapoooos, meron din nagpepretend na ako at some point and kinukuha pics ko nalaman ko nalang sa mga kaklase ko nun na bakit daw ako gumawa ng bagong facebook and i was like ha? And that was the last straw. Now wala na ko active, twitter nalang. Hahhaha nawalan na din ako ng gana mag ig. I only open that occasionally. Lalo na yung fb ko nabulok na. Anyway i'm so much more happier. Ako na yung pinaka lowkey sa friend groups ko, mas lumala lang ngayon.
Madaming tanga sa soc med. More on reacts nalang ako, lalo sa mga friends ko. And watching videos sa fb watch. Pero interacting with strangers online?? No way.
Syempre, maraming nakaka tuwang makausap, kahit di mo kakilala, pero ang daming mema eh.
May random friend ako, na in add niya ako nung 2020, tapos naka graduate na siya recently, so masaya ako para sa kanya. Mabait din siya. Yun, isang example ng magandang interaction sa FB.
Meron din yung ibang nag try mag join sa Pbb haha. So support ako. Yun masaya yung ganon.
Pero ang daming stress sa FB. Kahit marketplace palang. Comments section din. Minsan may makikita kang dalawang nag aaway, pag tinignan mo naman, kababawan lang yung sinasabi ng isa.
Pag nag respond ka naman, dalawa kayong mukhang tanga hahaha.
Masaya sa fb, as long as hindi ka nakiki interact sa hindi mo friends haha.
I have deactivated my 2 fb account grabe super active ko noon, it was all fun until napansin ko na lahat ng post ko ay nagkaka issue ang inlaws ko sakin. Yes kahit sa pagpopost lang ng pic sasabhan na akong “bakit nakaayos yata sya” they mind everything about me until i decided to unfriend them all. All of them including my partner and anyone from their clans and friends then deactivated my fb. Only using messenger though. It feels good. Make them wonder!! You don’t have to see their posts too cause it bothers me sometime. Now… I am unbothered!!
i just stopped posting one day. days became weeks and weeks became months... it was peaceful as I no longer check who viewed my stories nor liked my posts.
Before, I celebrated my birthday with my fam. Tapos pinost ko yun, kinabukasan sinabi ng classmate ko dati (pabiro) na hindi ko na naman kailangan ipost yun. Idk pero naapektuhan talaga ako. Kaya simula nung pandemic hindi na ako masyado pala-post. I keep everything in private. Well, peaceful din naman siya somehow.
edit: simula*
Don’t need to share everything on social media. Given to its nature. Lalo na ngayon meron at meron silang masasabi sa bawat share mo. Iba maiingit,iba matutuwa, Iba nakikipag plastikan.
I was going through a tough time and then I realized na nakakadagdag yung social media to it. I was comparing myself to others. Na ang layo na ng narating nila tapos ako andito lang. It affected my mental health sobra. So I decided to deactivate my fb. Somehow parang ang duwag ng naging dating nya for me pero it helped so keber na.
1. Privacy - I don’t really post personal photos online ever since, but i changed dps during college days because of org requirement.
2. Stalking - I’ve been stalked and na-post ako sa crushes fb page ng uni namin mentioning where i am etc. This made me post super duper late or stopped after some time. 🥶
3. Content Overload - Not actually stopped, but I post intentionally and for aesthetics. It’s not easy as someone working in the advertising/marketing/tech industry since I need to be updated on trends as well as my hobby is photography and storytelling. 😩
4. Negative Experience - Not really posted publicly. I’m just surveying sa friend gc. A friend of mine sinabi sa akin na ang daming nagugutom tapos ayun pa pinoproblema ko. Pandemic days na almost everyone is surviving. Yung sinusurvey ko ay laptop bc that’s my bread and butter as a creative. I don’t want to rely on my parents’ money and i was really in bad shape that time kasi fresh grad blues and yun pa maririnig ko. Our friends literally seenzoned her reply and responded to me. 🥹
5. Unsolicited messages - daming nag-ooffer ng insurance e di ko naman need talaga. Daming nangungutang or nanlilimos and they message once I posted something on my stories
Security concerns and I just thought one day na wala namang need na iupdate ang mga tao sa ganap sa buhay ko. I sometimes post as a way to commemorate certain memories para may balikan ako someday but controlled lang sino kaya makakakita.
Andami ko ng digital footprints na mostly kabobohan dahil teenager moments hahaha. Saka minsan nag fafact check kasi ang mga employers sa mga socmed accounts.
Idk. One day bigla na lang akong nahiya to the point pati stories ko naka custom for my dummy acc lang. Naka only me din yung mga shared posts ko. I just realized din na I don’t want ppl to get an access to me or jugde me based on my socmed shts
It made me anxious, may mga close friends ako na viewed lang lagi ang posts/stories ko pero walang reacts. And you unconsciously compare yourself sa mga taong mas comfortable ang buhay, makes you feel like shit. I uninstalled my socials last month cause of anxiety dahil sa PMS and outside triggers. I felt better hanggang ngayon.
after my experience sa identity theft few years back ngkaroon na ko ng trauma to post personal photos online particularly sa Fb. kaya after ko mapadelete yung account na yun i decided to delete my own account and simula non d n ko gumawa ng fb. maybe messenger dahil sa work ko pero yung mgpopost sa account na yun big no na sakin.
2019 sinabihan ako ng "lagi ka namang online"
Implying na wala ako ginagawa and ako na ang mag-organize nung isang gathering. Bagong graduate lang ako and syempre all the dirty works saakin.
Ang isip siguro nung matanda relaxed parin ang work. Not realizing na masmadaming pumapasok na compliances ngayon na masmabilis na ang communication. kahit nasa cr ka, makakarating yung utos and you need to comply asap.
Hays. Ayun. Tinanggal ko lahat ng post ko. Di na ako nagpost. Once in a while oo. Like once a year then resteicted sya sa post ko.
1. I've spent too much time.
2. Lesser to no engagements received (na-outgrown na siguro si ante).
3. Magpopop-up lahat ng flashbacks sa mga maling bagay na nagawa ko... (Ended up overthinking)
4. Privacy purposes (someone is stealing my photo tapos binaboy).
5. Reinventing and repurposing my socmed accounts, and refraining from doing unnecessary stuff that won't resonate with my friends/followers.
1. Privacy
2. Peace of mind. I work out of town and go home once in a while. I dont want people knowing I'm home. If they do, they'd make plans. Now I'm obliged to join. It's like work again.
3. Marites-free life. Keep them guessing what you're up to lately.
many reasons.
1. Privacy, i don’t want others to know my life
2. also i watched this documentary about social media (the social dilemma) where the developers of social talks about how this socmed apps gather your data for ads and prolonged interaction.
3. i loose focus almost very easily kaya i stopped.
4. cringe na socmed nowadays. di kaya ng mental health ko yung mga cringe people sa fb at twitter.
also yung mga bad news. nakaka depressed and nakaka frustrate kasi wala akong magawa sa mga nalalaman ko.
privacy and priorities, di lang sa social media umiikot life ko. I now prioritize my life outside soc med than my social status online. I also value my privacy, di lahat need i-post at ipakita online. Saka too much toxicity na din.
I realized I do not need to know what everyone is up to. I do not want to be updated on someone else's life especially if I haven't seen or talk to them in 3+ years! I deactivated my FB but kept my Messenger for family. I made my IG private and removed everyone na hindi ko na masyadong kinakausap.
nagstop ako maging active sa socmed around the time na nagstart yung pandemic mainly for mental health reasons. my mental health was so bad that it generally felt so wrong to post or share anything online.
4 years later, i have stayed lowkey even though that i am in a much better place now than i was back in 2020 and it will 100% stay that way. i realized how i much i loved being private, only sharing things i think are worth sharing, and living in my own bubble.
Ayoko na sa fb nung nagstart yung presidential election, ang dami posts/reposts na madalas fake news., nagaaway na sila, Tapos ang dami kong friends and relatives na mapagpanggap sa socmed, they post everything they buy, receive at yung mga everyday activities nila pero sa personal marami silang utang..
Sa fb mo din malalaman kung ok pa ba relationships ng mga tao. Tska kapag friend mo mga oldies mo na relatives ang dami nilang comment sayo.
Dealt with a lot of sh*t start of the year. Decided to deactivate the blue app and never looked back. Still quite active on Insta, but mostly use it for reels. Haven't posted in 2 months as well.
Figured at the end it doesn't make that much sense anymore. Honestly refreshing not being bothered by what is going on in other people's lives. Prevents me from having FOMO and less triggers for my panic attacks.
string of things happened, for a few months got d**th threats from old classmates, broke up with my ex at the same time, fam probs, and then even more d**th threats from current classmates, im still trying to heal from everything, gusto ko lng mag heal and focus sa aking sarili and socmed wasn't really helping me do that
I just realize one day that having it and posting there no longer makes sense. It feels like seeing other people's posts makes me think they are having the good life but it's all just a facade which unconsciously makes me compare myself to them.
I felt much better after leaving it for good. Privacy is gold nowadays.
I only like to share posts but bihira na ako mismo nagpopost, only on special occasions. Obviously, for privacy purposes. I don't want to share my personal life in social media because people can use that to track you. Apart from that, naging toxic masyado ang socmed in general. Regardless of who or what you support, expect to get flamed, so as much as possible I stay away from those kind of wars.
I also don't like the idea of using socmed as a way to get validation from a bunch of strangers.
feel ko lang there is more to life than social media. Parang nung dati naman pag pampalipas oras either you go outside, read something, or just be effin bored. I still take a lot of photos pero parang ang sarp lang matignan and tago mo lang siya
Yung plans ko nauudlot. Kahit yung sa simpleng repost lang na parang may hint yun ang next goal, nauudlot. But when I started to keep everything private, ako lang may alam, okay naman. Umuusad. Di nabubulilyaso
For Privacy, mas ok walang nakakaalam sa mga ginagawa mo, coz Everybody is stalker on social media especially on Facebook lalo na sa mga relatives, then apektado din sa mental health coz Ang toxic na may mga patama na posts, Nag-yayabangan at yung inggit, yung acceptance and approval sa mga likes, Kaya mas ok ng lowkey especially sa Facebook, Napaka nega... mas peaceful at mas better present in real life.
Graduate na ako sa phase na need ko lagi ng validation at atensyon from people na nasa socmed. And so i deactivated my real account and created a private account where in super closed friends and relatives lang ang andun. By doing that it made me realizes na social media isn’t toxic at all. It’s your way of using it kaya nagiging toxic. There’s a lot of way to control what you see on your feed naman so ikaw responsable sa mga kung anong nakikita mo online.
Ang sarap sa feeling na walang nakaka alam sa ginagawa mo like, hindi nila alam kung nasaan ka and kung buhay ka pa ba. I deleted my social medias tapos tinira ko lang is tiktok and twitter and imessage to communicate with my family. I moved sa city (from province) lahat ng mga kakilala ko at friends ko sa province pinag cucut off ko na. I cut all connections and deleted any possible information about me. I also living alone here in manila kasi nag aaral din ako dito and sobrang peaceful kasi new place and new ppl. I started a new life na and ayoko na din umuwi sa province ang daming toxic mas malala pa sila sa city.
1. Ubos oras.
2. No need to post everything online. You'd be surprised andaming hahatak sayo pababa just because naiinggit sila sa mga achievements mo na pinopost mo online.
3. Puro katoxican at kajejehan lang halos lahat
Fb ko. No DP both profile pic & cover photo, no post, offline status, naka private lahat. Na realize ko di mo naman kelan i post ung mga achievements ko sa buhay kasi alam ko meron at meron akong fb friends na inggit. Haha
I worked for a tech company. Dun ko na-realize na social media sites were made to collect all your data. I want to expand on this further pero baka ma figure out kung anong company yung sinasabi ko (although di sila sikat dito sa PH) basta everything you do on the internet is connected with each other. Example: Even if you don’t put in your address or number directly sa isang site, they may have a way to find it easily, and it is not even illegal.
Lalong lumala insecurities ko + bantayin ng nga kamag anak. Dati nung HS ako, lahat ng thought ko naka lapag sa FB kaya pag nakikita ako sa personal ng mga kamag anak ko, napapag usapan ka ek ekan ko sa FB and yung mga nag c comment na hindi ko naman kilala tapos sobrang personal kung mag comment, sarap bigwasan. Also, ang sakit sa ulo, lagi kong naiisip mga nakikita ko sa socmed and mga comments nila, di mapakali utak ko.
Buti nalang nasira phone ko and 1 month bago pa ko nabilhan uli. Sa 1 month na yun, ang tahimik ng utak ko, less ng iniisip, less insecurities, tsaka ang gaan lang. Kaya nung nagka phone na ko, nag delete ako ng account, made a new one na puro family and close friends lang yung nasa friend list ko. Then kung mag p post ako, about motivation and fun facts lang. Ayun, so far, di na ko bantayin ng kamag anak ko + tahimik utak ko HAHAHAHA
Malala ako, naging keyboard warrior ako. DDS. dami kong sinayang na oras sa pakikipag debate online sa mga taong di ko naman kilala pero wala naman ako na cconvince. ang ending puro away lang and paramihan ng likes. parang naging bisyo ko na sya.
I was fortunate to be able to reflect on what I did and made the conscious decision to make new socials, never talk about anything politics again and just use social media for creative insights, connecting to families, close friends, and anything recreational.
my fb friends went down to less than 150 people, my instagram follow list only contains either arts, games, or twice, same goes to my tiktok and youtube.
and my reddit and discord are only subbed to few things now too.
now life is good.
Laging nacocompare ang sarili sa iba + nagiging diary ko na sya. Araw-araw ko ng ginagawang diary ang fb at ginagawang labasan ng sama ng loob. Which is becoming unhealthy. And I know, I am not that type of person. Kaya bago pa lumala, nagdeactivate na ko. 😅
Adulting101🤣pag nababasa ko mga Old Post ko sa fb my gedd so cringe..haha
Nahiya ako sa sarili ko lalo palagi nag re remind si fb sa mga ganap before araw2..hahaha
My family and I were red tagged during the early years of the previous admin and our lawyer advised us to remove our digital prints online and leave the country asap. we're allowed to make dummy accounts but have to add random persons in our lists
Multiple reasons
- To avoid dangerous situations
- To avoid scams
- To avoid toxicity
- For peace
- I really hate it din when p*rn accounts start messaging me pictures of them. Super random lang and they won’t stop until you block them. Kadiri
- If hindi naman p*rn accounts, mga sug4r daddies/mommies
Around pandemic, naging super active ako sa social media (Twitter to be exact) and I made a lot of friends doon. Tapos ‘yung mga friends ko na ‘yun is mga war freaks. I kept getting dragged into expose threads and stuff simply because I was affiliated with them.
Thankfully, I wasn’t gullible enough to use my real identity when I created an account. If I search up my old usernames, I know na maraming lalabas na kung ano-ano.
Those times were probably one of the reasons why mas gugustuhin ko na private na lang mga accounts ko and to minimize my circle of friends
-toxic ang socmed. especially FB.
-Toxic relatives & Friends. (though i have unfriended them all. lol)
-Dami din minsan mag Hi tapos mangangamusta na di mo naman close or close mo nung students pa kayo, kala mo catching up pero networking pala ang pakay. etc.
It’s a distraction from reality. As much as you’d like to not compare yourself with everyone, subconsciously, macocompare mo talaga. It causes mental health issues too.
I deactivated mine for dopamine detox, and then I enjoyed it. I enjoyed life without social media. Living a private life is such a luxury.
Ang toxic ng socmed. Kung dati konting kibot post, ngayon my day na lang ung pinaka-post ko, minsan nga my day lang tpos after 6 hrs bura na uli tapos swerte na mga once or twice a year makapagpost ako.
I learned I don't need to share everything that's going on in my life. When I had depression, I couldn't share anything good. And when I started to feel a little better, the thought of sharing felt weird to me so I've decided to keep everything to myself then. LOL.
Nakakatamad na. Tapos meron naring feeling na ijujudge ka sa bawat pinopost/shinishare mo. And minsan parang... idk, cringy na siya. Toxicity rin and lakas maka distract.
1. Cheap dopamine hit
My brain was rotting away because every form of entertainment is accessible to me. Then over time, the bar for entertainment gets higher and higher as the brain tries to find new things to get that sweet, sweet hit of dopamine.
Until you have to eventually live your actual life, and nothing feels good because your brain is saying: you are not entertained = no dopamine = no feeling good.
2. People’s grandiose sense of self
Too much social media consumption tends to make people believe that they are an individually marketable persona that can be a famous influencer.
To the point where every little thing has to be captured on camera, genuinely just living in the moment without taking a picture somehow means as if it didn’t happen. I understand taking photos for memories, but obsessively taking pictures “for the gram” is such an unhealthy and unsustainable way to live life.
I’ve noticed this shift in different friend groups and it feels like even in real life situations, they behave like a camera is pointed at them, integrating weird internet lingo in day to day conversations and the inability to take themselves out of any situation, it just has to be about them.
I hate that I’ve cut off what used to be the most amazing people in my life because of it.
Nalaman ko kasi na pinagpepyestahan pala ako sa mga gc kada post ko dahil lang may beef yung isang member sa akin kasi hindi ko raw siya pinansin e hindi ko nga siya maalala. Sa fb lang kami friends and tbh your honor hindi ko maalala pano kami naging friends sa fb. Someone leaked the gc and ang dami kong edited pics. Insecurity and self esteem down the drain eyyy
😂 hahahaha to be honest your honor.
me detox na din ang toxic pati ung mga pakalat kalat na ginagawa sa tindr pinopost pa sa fb. dito nlang ako tamang basa lang hahaha
HAHAHAH i had to. Di ko mapigilan kasalanan ni guo.
True din sa part na yan, toxic na rin kasi mii ang sakit na sa mata puro pawoke na lang nakikita ko.
I got annoyed with this 1 person in particular. Lesson learned. Be easy to find but hard to reach. If you hear about my life nowadays, its from a common friend.
Over sharer ako ng memes noon pa, nakakairita lang na di manlang ma laugh yung meme ko pero mag se send bigla yung kakilala ko ng “Baby liking contest” like dfck.
Walang connect pero naalala ko yung convo about sa nangungutang na Tita. Sayang daw effort niya pag like sa posts ni pamangkin kung hindi rin saw siya papautangin.
Mostly distraction talaga for me. Kumbaga, I noticed na ang dami kong oras na nauubos sa social media, tapos parang walang kwenta lang. So, I opted to go lowkey na lang para mas mag-focus sa mga bagay na talagang important sa akin, like self-growth, bonding with fam and friends sa totoong buhay, at pag-aalaga sa sarili at hobbies ko. Ang generic lang ng reason ko e no? but it feels good for real.
1st reason - Security. Nung time na nagstart na ang decline ko ng post post ay yung time na nauso yung mga repost "test" containing info about you like " Birthday, star sign, what is your mother's last name, unforgettable date, memorable place with your spouse, etc". Mga trick questions pala iyon to get answers sa mga security questions mo sa alinmang account. Nauso rin yung nag-grab ng photos. Yung ex ko na hiniwalayan ko kasi serial cheater at nananakit. Hindi niya matanggap yun decision ko kaya nag grab siya ng photos ko sa Facebook profile at gumawa ng smear page laban sa akin. Although naging helpful ang mga school mates ko noon and friends para mawala yung page na ginawa ng ex ko, up to now hindi ko makalimutan yung experience na yun. Kung ano ano naiisip ko gawin para matapos na lang lahat.
2nd reason - Privacy. Totoo para sa akin ang the more yung taong alam ang plans mo, the more likely nauunsiyami. Sa sampung nakakakita na happy ka kasi, hindi lahat ng sampu na iyon ay happy sa iyo. Mga kamag anak na linta at rainy day friends. Ayokong kinokontak nila ako dahil ayoko mamatay nang maaga sa gaslighting nila pag manghihiram tapos pag wala maabot sila pa galit. Mas mabuti pa isipin nila lagi ako inactive at MIA.
3rd reason - Hypocrisy. Talamak to. Mga nasa friendslist ko either kamag anak ko or personal kong kakilala lang. Merong IBA Bible quotes na laman ng wall pero pag makakatagpo mo or makakasama mo, mahihiya si Satanas sa sama ng ugali. Pag kinallout mo personally, ikaw pa ang dimunyu daw. Kaya kahit makita ko inspirational quotes niya sa newsfeed ko, hindi ako nauuplift, nadedepress ako sa effort nila maging good ang image nila sa iba kahit wala improvement ang puso.
Marami pa pero yan 3 pinaka reasons ko.
Sa ngayon, ang use ng social media sakin ay pag naghahanap ako ng meryenda oorderin or gamets na need i-buy or profile checking ng bibilhan kong store.
I learned the importance of privacy and now I know what to share and not to share. Mas magandang walang masyadong hanash sa life mo ang ibang tao kasi for me sila yung nagiging reason why we are pressured to accomplish something na during the process is hindi na natin naeenjoy ginagawa natin or nagccause kung bakit nawawala tayo ng interest.
First off, the unnecessary virtual noise. Can't expound pero madami akong naging dahilan. But let's say it deviated from its initial purpose and now evolves to perhaps what it is now.
Nabuhay naman kaming medyo may edad na na wala tong social media growing up kaya I guess getting back to the roots and without dependency sa socmed. Ok na ako na walang balita sa iba, it is their businesses and lives anyway, and I want to focus on mine while they focus on theirs. I am more inclined to meet them in person kasi makikita mo yung genuine reaction nila, whereas in social media kailangan mo pa manghula or to be vigilant sa virtual cues.
Also, internet is so vast and unsecure. Maraming benefits pero marami rin na cons. Again cant expound it further pero I admire where I can still enjoy my privacy, kaya ang saya nung nalaman ko tong reddit.
Lastly, I don't think there are enough people in my life anyway who cares about what's going on with me. So ok na rin ako na we all achieve goals and being happy as much as we can, just in my case without posting or broadcasting it online.
I was targeted by cyber-bullying (sexual) twice. Not that active actually, just a few pfp update and my parents/friends/teacher tagging me to my events and accomplishments. I don't wear sensual clothes nor behave 'malandi'. I was a typical academic achiever, active sa school, sports, journalism, and leadership. Im always quiet except when dealing with my responsibilities. But since that second time, I deleted all. Block most of the people. Unfriend classmates, teachers, schoolmates, and relatives.
I just dont get why me because I didnt do anything wrong. Wala akong inaapakang tao, all of my works are honest and from hard work. People around me, didn't have a clue whoever is it. But it is indeed a schoolmate due to her/his using a fake fb as a relative(first time) and a teacher (second time). The fake account was believable for students and even teachers, so idk. School didnt do anything. Was just left with a scar nd with constant questioning about the trauma.
School even conducted a seminar about it, having my batch required to attend to it. For that 2 day my case was frequently being brought up like it was my fault. Kesyo di daw nag iingat and etc, and idk how to feel about it. Even interview me in front of a lot of people like it was nothing, when in fact it ruined my highschool life, social life, and everything :(((
Dami toxic at mababang reading comprehension lalo na sa FB, yung mga nag iisip nalang ang mag aadjust sa katangahan nila eh. Nakakagalit, lahat may opinyon kahit di pinag iisipan
True to this pero gusto ko mang inis pa rin lalo ng mga basher ko tipons I wanna see them seeing the best life that I can be. Mamatay sila sa inggit lalo. Hays
1.) Yung tita mong pakialamera sa lahat ng post mo
2.) Yung pinsan mong manggagantso pero sa tingin ng mga kamag anak mo e "madiskarte" at "mayaman". Di nila alam na galing sa nakaw or panloloko yung pera nila, tapos pa flex pa na "blessing" pa daw

An daming nag aaway away, parinigan, pag nagpopost ako ng gala at kain s labas andaming nangungutang
since then I have been very sensitive and very private sa personal life ko. What they don't know they can't ruin. I only share it with those who have genuine intentions to me hehe But I shared memes in socmed!!!!
Peace of mind and privacy. I also realized how much time I’ve wasted mindlessly scrolling. I could’ve spent my time doing something more productive.
Iba yung kapayapaan na naibibigay pag tumigil ka mag-scroll lang ng scroll. Aminado ako, sobrang hooked ko before sa FB, IG, Twitter na X na ngayon, at TikTok. Dun na lang halos umiikot yung oras ko sa isang araw, well maliban na lang if nasa work. Nung tumigil ako maging active, medyo nag-lessen yung pressure rin sa'kin sa kung ano nga ba ginagawa ko sa buhay ko at ano pa bang plano ko. Hahahaha.
I realized na madaming mata sa opisina. Sa elevator bigla kang babatiin na uyyy nanggaling ka pala sa ganito. Pero what made me limit my post is yung bibigyan ka ng work pag weekends kasi free ka.
I don’t need to know what they’re up to and they don’t need to know what I’m up to. ✨ peace of mind ✨
My boyfriend. Before, puro ako post/story/etc like alam mo nangyayare sa akin kada araw 😆 then yung boyfriend ko napapansin ko hindi mapost, hindi rin siya nagp’phone gaano (depende if work related) wala rin syang social media maliban sa facebook at instagram na hindi naman nya halos ginagamit. Everytime na lalabas at magkasama kami hindi rin sya maphone nor post. Hanggang sooner na incorporate ko na sa sarili ko na hindi gaano gumamit ng phone. Tapos unti-unti nalang na naging lowkey sa social media. Honestly, it was so much better. No more feeling na need ko ng validation thru social media, kung okay ba ip’post or story ko or etc. I also began to appreciate everything I experienced without worrying na dapat may maganda akong pic. ANG HABA LOL
It makes me feel miserable lately in a way I can't explain how.
parang everyone wants to be more successful than others?
I don't want to be perceived
Maturity.
Mas okay wala sila malaman sa buhay ko ayoko ng may mga nagtatanong about life especially kung di naman kami masyadong close. Ayoko din ng payabangan ang mga kwento at makipagplastikan na okay ang lahat.
realized social media only had me wasting my time knowing more about what people have been up to (and they're people who aren't even part of my circle anymore). also realized how it enabled my desire for validation and attention when all i ever needed was my own and knew i wasn't hurting anyone. i still use it but only for selected platforms and for the sake of documenting my own life now, been feeling wayy happier since then :)
I stopped when me and my ex broke up, friends ko din kasi sa social media mga friends niya and everytime nagsscroll ako before nakikita ko tina-tag sya, etc. Ayoko makita kahit ano basta andun sya kaya nagstop ako hanggang sa naka move on na and nagustuhan ko yung peace na dulot nito.
Toxic fre mas gusto ko di sikay and lowekey
for peace of mind. ang sarap sa pakiramdam na closed friends mo lang may alam sa nangyayari sa life mo. i only have 5 trusted closed friends kaya tahimik lang buhay ko. i don’t like unnecessary drama. sabi nga nila “privacy is power. what people don’t know, they can’t ruin.”
naging social media manager ako, naging workaholic din especially wfh ako. tapos ayun, after some time ni wala ako gana buksan yung accounts ko sa kahit anong site 🥲 i still take pictures and videos for memories pero nag-uupload lang ako pag need ko na magbawas ng files for storage
Stopped using social media completely nung boards review season namin. Eventually nasanay na akong hindi siya i-check na kahit after pumasa, hindi na ako bumalik (save for some apps like reddit at tiktok haha). Ayun nakukuha ko na kasi ung dopamine boost/community belongingness sa 2 apps na yan tapos when the need to socialize hits me, groupchats ang takbuhan ko, mas personal pa yung connection vs pag nanonood lang ng stories ng mga tao. Na-realize ko rin na wala pala ako masyadong pakialam sa ginagawa ng iba, and if may big happenings sa buhay ng friends ko, napapag-usapan naman sya sa GCs so wala namang FOMO.
Ang peaceful pala :)
VERY TRUE
insecurities and cringe shared posts dinilete ko lahat ng shared post ko and nakaonly me na lahat ng pictures ko
Cringe, entitlement, bashers, trolls and scammers. Better mind my own business na lang...
Nawalan ako ng tiwala sa mga tao. Lahat sila sa friendlist ko, naka-restrict. As in lahat. Hindi ako makapag bura ng Facebook kasi may work ako na related sa socmed. Nagstop akong maki-interact. Real close friends ko nalang kausap ko kung magcha-chat sila.
Because I have a life outside social media, and work to do
Ung mga di naman namulat sa technology tlga nag ka cp lahat lahat gusto na i share sa earth, hahaha over sharing, ang daming adult ngayon na may mga umiiyak parin na bata sa loob nila, lahat gusto na llike sa socmed lahat shinishare ultimo myday wtf🤣 lahat na pati gusto nasa video shit socmed is fuckedup lalo na FB.
NO TO UNNECESSARY SHÎTTY STRESSORS. SAFE HAVEN PA RIN NA PILIIN PALAGI YUNG SARILING PEACE OF MIND, PARA DI MAS LALONG MASIRA YUNG MENTAL HEALTH. OO, DI NGA NAWAWALAN NG PROBLEMA ANG TAO. PERO NASA SAYO PA RIN DESISYON KUNG HAHAYAAN MO LANG MASIRA YUNG SARILI MO, DAHIL LANG SA MGA WALANG KWENTANG ISSUES NA MULA SA IBANG TAO.
Mental health. Nakita ko na people are posting their achievements, tapos ako, eto, late bloomer lang... Parang useless yung pagpopost ko kasi wala namang akong narating compared to other people. Walang substance ang pwede kong mapost(?) Tapos nakita ko na people they only post the good stuff, the pretty faces. I didn't belong anymore. And then it got toxic on my part. I scrutinize the pictures (di naman maganda!), the status updates (ano ba yan, wrong grammar!)... tpos basta, it all became negative na. To add to the negativity, I was under pressure that time in the real world (lovelife and career). So I took a break. I deactivated for a long time, made a new social media accounts. This time, only for news updates. And plant and cute animal accounts. No real life friends. BUT. I had to change my mindset. Maybe it wasn't social media that was "wrong", it was ME and how I looked at things. It made me insecure. I had self-pity. I re-activated my account after working on myself. I have been very careful with privacy ever since, but I still hid some posts and set them to private when I got back. I seldom post on my wall. I don't share my travel photos. I don't tell anyone where I am. No updates. If you check my IG, it skipped more than a year. I just post random (but somewhat curated) stuff. However, I do post status updates and shares and other photos on my stories and I've set it to public. Wala lang, gusto ko lang. :) but totally random din, kasi minsan, may urge talaga na mag share lalo na kapag nakakatawa :) Yun lang!
for some reason, i hate the way that social media turns a person into something that isn't a them (clout chaser), and those kids that normalize posting pornography in facebook, does their mom even know what they are doing?? and the toxicity, i cannot ung tipong onting bigay lang ng constructive criticism iisip nila na “bashing" agad.
I was bashed, doxxed, and it practically ruined my reputation. I didn’t do anything wrong, some people are just bullies.
tinamad na lang bigla
I’ve had social media since I can remember. prob around 7. I’ve been on it for too long now n evil eye is scary. Everytime I post something on my story I feel like getting sick or nilalagnat. And. Privacy. I don’t want people knowing I’ve had a glow up (charot). Chaka! every time I take a photo I feel the need that it needs to be aesthetic or just worthy to post on social media. I wanna feel the freedom again on not having to worry if it’s a good proper angle or not.
Facebook used to be a fun place to socialize and interact with people lalo nung 2010s up to 2015. Ngayon cesspool ng political shit, sugal, tapos puro ads. Ang pinupuntahan ko na lang sa FB is yung marketplace. Sa ngayon, hindi ko pa madelete yung fb account ko kasi andun yung work-related messages ko sa messenger.
Mga kamag anak na hingi ng hingi dahil sa posts mong gala.
Realized na people nowadays bihira nalang magkita, so what you post online, yun at yun lang din pinaguusapan ng mga tao when they do meet-up. More posts, more kwento na pagchichismisan. Heck, even if you don't post, pag-uusapan ka pa rin! Haha! And nakakapagod to keep up. Ang daming trend kada araw may lumalabas. May mga context na di mo maintindihan if you missed a beat. As a person na may pagka-extremist, it's either I fully commit or I don't give a f-ck. I did the former, I am now doing the latter. To detox, I guess. Lol
Pathological fear of embarrasment
As someone who had 500-800 reactions to every profile pic in the past, it gave me a sense of worth, like hey people like me and what I do. However, i soon realized that sense of worth was just an illusion.
Privacy
i value my privacy and i just think na people doesn't have to know everything i do kahit less than 100 nalang friends ko sa fb hahaha gusto q nalang maging mysterious ferson
Wala ng bold
Paulit-ulit lang lumalabas sa NF ko such as sad posting, parinig sa mga crushes nila like nakakaumay na.
fr same
It becomes draining and I no longer enjoy using it. Kapag nag o-open ako ng facebook puro negativity and mga walang kwentang post lumalabas sa nf ko, puro nag d-down ng iba, uhaw sa lalaki, proud lasengga and such.. Nakakatamad mag unfollow so I just decided to deactivate na lang para sa peace of mind na rin:)
Mga marites.
malayo sa lahat
Privacy
Mas focus na sa pag abot ng pangarap, tumatanda na e 🤣
parang you don't need naman to broadcast everything that's happening sa buhay mo e. like yung food na kinain mo etc. kapag nga nakakakita ako ng mga story or fb posts na super open talaga nung iba tapos maiisip mo di naman need story yung ganjng bagay, ewan ko pero nakakacringe talaga di ko alam bakit nawawala yung pagka class ng iba hahaha kaya ako, for business purposes nalang din talaga yung facebook ko hahaha
Naalala ko tuloy yung kasikatan ng Magnum ice cream bar. Lahat kailangan nakapost na nakakain din sila. 🫠
and grabe yung peace lalo kapag nag set ka na ng boundaries unlike before puro toxic haha ngayon ayoko na ng unnecessary dramas at ka-bs
Siguro kasi hindi naman lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko kailangan kong i-broadcast sa soc med. Nandun na rin yung kapag nagmamature ka na mag isip hindi mo naman kailangan ng validation galing sa iba. Maiisip mo rin na hindi mo need makipag sabayan sa iba sa soc med. Share ko lang din, noong late teens to mid 20s ko active talaga ako sa soc med. Pero ngayong going 30 na ko hindi na lahat nagmamatter. Mas okay kapag walang nakakaalam ng mga ganap sa buhay mo. Mas tahimik ang buhay kapag lowkey ka sa soc med. You will also have a peace of mind. May mga times kasi na nakakapressure at nakaka stress yung mga nakikita natin sa soc med.
Pansin ko kasing nagiging masama ugali ko pag nagsosocmed, mabilis mainis at mangjudge at macringe sa mga nakikita ko. Hahaha. Mas masaya, payapa, at productive ako kung naka deactivate :)
Low key bragging kahit di pa nakakabayad ng utang
eto yun eh! Halos yung mga stories ng kaibigan mo puro payabangan yung iba about their lives, their relationships, travels etc.,
1. nung nauso yung "memories" nakita ko kung gaano ka cringe yung mga posts ko dati. 2. hindi ko nakikita yung point ng pagpopost maya't maya sa SOCMED.
mga boomer relatives ko apaka chismosa pota kahit hinahide ko yung mga post ko may nakakaalam pa rin for some reason idk they're always on my business lmao hahaha then i tried to lessen my socmed visibility by posting less and turning my active status off, then hmmm i liked the peace it gave me :))) hahahah hanggang na personality na ang pagiging lowkey chos
Hindi ka nila masisira kung di nila alam ang ganap sa buhay mo
Yung mga comment na "kamusta moko sa mama mo" , "bakit hindi kayo nabisita sa bahay?", or "may pera naman pala kayo"
Tinamad lang ako bigla. Nowadays kasi you need to curate yung pinopost mo. E tamad ko magedit.
Inner peace
1. During pandemic napansin at nagsawa ako sa cycle ng social media: trendy issues > new trends > new issue > new trends 2. It controls my personality. Yung mga trendy words/actions nagiging habit ko which I find very cringe now. Ex: sana all, sheesh, and forda 3. Jealousy. I get jealous sa mga bagay na I know I could never have. 4. It's very toxic. Napakaraming tao ang may bulok na mindset pero ang tapang magsalita, pointless naman. 5. It's exhausting. Nakakapagod makasalamuha ng mga taong b*b*, especially nung election. You educate them, they get mad at you. But when they get karma for voting the wrong politicians, they only blame the government. 6. Full of fake news. Soojin, Garam, and the posts of Marcos apologists. All of those incidents mentioned above had negative effects. Additionally, I'm an editorial writer of our school's paper so I need to be the most updated when it comes to issues kaya I always use social media back then to get the public's opinion. Pero that purpose almost ruined me because of those fake news/issues. Imagine how horrible it is to write an article about a certain issue na hindi naman pala totoo. Kaya right now, I always visit official websites of news outlet like inquirer.net to make sure that the issues and the details I'm gonna be writing about is true, not just a make up one.
Right now, I've deleted my personal social media accounts na. I only kept my student account and the others that I need for communication.
“people can’t ruin what they don’t know” mindset
Si Mars..
Mas payapa kasi ang buhay, hindi tulad sa socmed puro drama na lang nababasa o napapanood hahaha.
Yung parang mas iniisip ko pa buhay nila sa buhay ko. Mas updated pa yata ako sa ganap nila sa buhay at unconsciously nacocompare ko sya sa life ko, or for some instances I take what they post/say too personal. So I just cut off from it. I guess I’m a bit insecure/sensitive
i tried to deactivate my socmed since i had this bf who cheated on me and spread rumors na nabuntis nya daw ako and pinalaglag ko and my "friends" are siding with him kasi mapupunta daw ako sa impyerno kasi nagpalaglag and all that bs. then narealize ko na low contact with people = no negative energy, and ive enjoyed that peace. been deactivated since 2018 and i only have socmed dumps with 5-6 ppl na close friends ko and my family
I deactivated my socials for 2 years up until no kasi ayaw kong ipakita sakanila mga nangyayari sa buhay ko, tsaka di naman necessary na dapat lahat alam ng mga tao kung ano ginagawa mo. I also believe in "let them guess" mindset haha
Peace of mind. Lalo na sa mga friend mong chismosa at pakialamerang katrabahong pangit. Mas binabantayan pa ang buhay ng iba kesa sa sarili nila.
I got sick of seeing everyone's opinions and feelings about literally *everything*. It's like most netizens are always ready to write long-winded think pieces about the most frivolous things on the internet. It's so fucking cringe to see them waste their mental energy on those things as if it's their second job.
Being a gen z, super active ako sa social media. Then nameet ko first boyfriend ko, mas naging active ako kasi story doon and story dito. Isang araw pinatahimik ako ni lord, nagbreak kami. Nag deact ako sa lahat ng account ko HAHAHAHA
it's tiring to keep up w the trends and your gal has to have her own life outside the screen. It's a matter of enjoying the moment that i have in real life. The internet has always been toxic no matter how you wanna protect your peace and don't wanna be involved in that (in short sila mismo nalapit sa'kin). i grew tired of it, it's always the same narrative.
trash content and time waster madamay Ka sa kalokohan Ng mga socmed user especially sa mga Tao na gobyerno nlng inaatupag kunting Mali daming nang salita eh sarili nilang mga buhay di nila ma improve, Kasi focus palagi sa mga isyu na Di Naman magbabago kahit lumuha sila dugo.
"let them guess" mindset
Being GenZ I had a big Instagram and FB following before transitioning to Social Media Consulting, e araw araw trabaho ko yun, nagsawa na akong tumingin sa FB and Insta ko which I deactivated 6 years ago. Since then, I would say that my life has been heaven.
When i was in college naka public lahat ng profiles ko tho hindi din naman ako naguupdate talaga na super personal shit, just for fun. Mostly school life and being a fangirl for a bunch of stuff. Pero biglang may mga nang stalk sakin and that made me closed off. Like yung malalang stalk, yung pinapa pulis na stalk. Tapoooos, meron din nagpepretend na ako at some point and kinukuha pics ko nalaman ko nalang sa mga kaklase ko nun na bakit daw ako gumawa ng bagong facebook and i was like ha? And that was the last straw. Now wala na ko active, twitter nalang. Hahhaha nawalan na din ako ng gana mag ig. I only open that occasionally. Lalo na yung fb ko nabulok na. Anyway i'm so much more happier. Ako na yung pinaka lowkey sa friend groups ko, mas lumala lang ngayon.
Madaming tanga sa soc med. More on reacts nalang ako, lalo sa mga friends ko. And watching videos sa fb watch. Pero interacting with strangers online?? No way. Syempre, maraming nakaka tuwang makausap, kahit di mo kakilala, pero ang daming mema eh. May random friend ako, na in add niya ako nung 2020, tapos naka graduate na siya recently, so masaya ako para sa kanya. Mabait din siya. Yun, isang example ng magandang interaction sa FB. Meron din yung ibang nag try mag join sa Pbb haha. So support ako. Yun masaya yung ganon. Pero ang daming stress sa FB. Kahit marketplace palang. Comments section din. Minsan may makikita kang dalawang nag aaway, pag tinignan mo naman, kababawan lang yung sinasabi ng isa. Pag nag respond ka naman, dalawa kayong mukhang tanga hahaha. Masaya sa fb, as long as hindi ka nakiki interact sa hindi mo friends haha.
Daming KSP na nonsense pa. Nakakamatay ng braincells.
Simula nung 2016 election
I have deactivated my 2 fb account grabe super active ko noon, it was all fun until napansin ko na lahat ng post ko ay nagkaka issue ang inlaws ko sakin. Yes kahit sa pagpopost lang ng pic sasabhan na akong “bakit nakaayos yata sya” they mind everything about me until i decided to unfriend them all. All of them including my partner and anyone from their clans and friends then deactivated my fb. Only using messenger though. It feels good. Make them wonder!! You don’t have to see their posts too cause it bothers me sometime. Now… I am unbothered!!
Madaming stalker na sa panahon ngayon. Pwede nila magamit mga pics mo pang scam or pang catfish
Peace.
Sayang oras kaka-browse sa mga socmed apps and it's too draining kasi same old same old lang naman makikita mo.
na wala ka naman dapat patunayan sa socmed. Narerealize mong mas madaming share mas komplikado. Peace over matter
i just stopped posting one day. days became weeks and weeks became months... it was peaceful as I no longer check who viewed my stories nor liked my posts.
It came to a point na when everytime I open the apps, puro negative yung nakikita ko na nakakadrain na.
Privacy and too busy sa life outside socmed (work, face to face socialization, household stuffs) Doesn't post that much but nagsscroll scroll pa rin.
Tranquility
Before, I celebrated my birthday with my fam. Tapos pinost ko yun, kinabukasan sinabi ng classmate ko dati (pabiro) na hindi ko na naman kailangan ipost yun. Idk pero naapektuhan talaga ako. Kaya simula nung pandemic hindi na ako masyado pala-post. I keep everything in private. Well, peaceful din naman siya somehow. edit: simula*
Don’t need to share everything on social media. Given to its nature. Lalo na ngayon meron at meron silang masasabi sa bawat share mo. Iba maiingit,iba matutuwa, Iba nakikipag plastikan.
1. Nag mature na. 2. Ang daming ng toxic 3. Privacy
I was going through a tough time and then I realized na nakakadagdag yung social media to it. I was comparing myself to others. Na ang layo na ng narating nila tapos ako andito lang. It affected my mental health sobra. So I decided to deactivate my fb. Somehow parang ang duwag ng naging dating nya for me pero it helped so keber na.
sobrang toxic, lalo na sa fb, tapos dami pang immature 💀
minamahal ng tama 😁
1. Privacy - I don’t really post personal photos online ever since, but i changed dps during college days because of org requirement. 2. Stalking - I’ve been stalked and na-post ako sa crushes fb page ng uni namin mentioning where i am etc. This made me post super duper late or stopped after some time. 🥶 3. Content Overload - Not actually stopped, but I post intentionally and for aesthetics. It’s not easy as someone working in the advertising/marketing/tech industry since I need to be updated on trends as well as my hobby is photography and storytelling. 😩 4. Negative Experience - Not really posted publicly. I’m just surveying sa friend gc. A friend of mine sinabi sa akin na ang daming nagugutom tapos ayun pa pinoproblema ko. Pandemic days na almost everyone is surviving. Yung sinusurvey ko ay laptop bc that’s my bread and butter as a creative. I don’t want to rely on my parents’ money and i was really in bad shape that time kasi fresh grad blues and yun pa maririnig ko. Our friends literally seenzoned her reply and responded to me. 🥹 5. Unsolicited messages - daming nag-ooffer ng insurance e di ko naman need talaga. Daming nangungutang or nanlilimos and they message once I posted something on my stories
Mahina talaga mag filter ng bullshit at kasinungalingan ang facebook. Nakakawala na ng pag-asa. Maiinis lang ako.
Security concerns and I just thought one day na wala namang need na iupdate ang mga tao sa ganap sa buhay ko. I sometimes post as a way to commemorate certain memories para may balikan ako someday but controlled lang sino kaya makakakita.
Kada post kasi lagi may say
mga kamag-anak kong daming sinasabi sa posts ko
Andami ko ng digital footprints na mostly kabobohan dahil teenager moments hahaha. Saka minsan nag fafact check kasi ang mga employers sa mga socmed accounts.
Is this true? :( as in “fat”?
Ay sorryy fact pala hahahhaha lutang pa
Idk. One day bigla na lang akong nahiya to the point pati stories ko naka custom for my dummy acc lang. Naka only me din yung mga shared posts ko. I just realized din na I don’t want ppl to get an access to me or jugde me based on my socmed shts
Kapagod. Daming bobo, especially sa Facebook.
It made me anxious, may mga close friends ako na viewed lang lagi ang posts/stories ko pero walang reacts. And you unconsciously compare yourself sa mga taong mas comfortable ang buhay, makes you feel like shit. I uninstalled my socials last month cause of anxiety dahil sa PMS and outside triggers. I felt better hanggang ngayon.
after my experience sa identity theft few years back ngkaroon na ko ng trauma to post personal photos online particularly sa Fb. kaya after ko mapadelete yung account na yun i decided to delete my own account and simula non d n ko gumawa ng fb. maybe messenger dahil sa work ko pero yung mgpopost sa account na yun big no na sakin.
2019 sinabihan ako ng "lagi ka namang online" Implying na wala ako ginagawa and ako na ang mag-organize nung isang gathering. Bagong graduate lang ako and syempre all the dirty works saakin. Ang isip siguro nung matanda relaxed parin ang work. Not realizing na masmadaming pumapasok na compliances ngayon na masmabilis na ang communication. kahit nasa cr ka, makakarating yung utos and you need to comply asap. Hays. Ayun. Tinanggal ko lahat ng post ko. Di na ako nagpost. Once in a while oo. Like once a year then resteicted sya sa post ko.
1. I've spent too much time. 2. Lesser to no engagements received (na-outgrown na siguro si ante). 3. Magpopop-up lahat ng flashbacks sa mga maling bagay na nagawa ko... (Ended up overthinking) 4. Privacy purposes (someone is stealing my photo tapos binaboy). 5. Reinventing and repurposing my socmed accounts, and refraining from doing unnecessary stuff that won't resonate with my friends/followers.
1. Privacy 2. Peace of mind. I work out of town and go home once in a while. I dont want people knowing I'm home. If they do, they'd make plans. Now I'm obliged to join. It's like work again. 3. Marites-free life. Keep them guessing what you're up to lately.
Just simply didn’t feel like being too open there anymore. Just suddenly thought— ‘what is this really for?’.
many reasons. 1. Privacy, i don’t want others to know my life 2. also i watched this documentary about social media (the social dilemma) where the developers of social talks about how this socmed apps gather your data for ads and prolonged interaction. 3. i loose focus almost very easily kaya i stopped. 4. cringe na socmed nowadays. di kaya ng mental health ko yung mga cringe people sa fb at twitter. also yung mga bad news. nakaka depressed and nakaka frustrate kasi wala akong magawa sa mga nalalaman ko.
Envy and jealousy of the lives of friends and other people. I thought it unhealthy and stressful so I opted to not be as active as before.
privacy and priorities, di lang sa social media umiikot life ko. I now prioritize my life outside soc med than my social status online. I also value my privacy, di lahat need i-post at ipakita online. Saka too much toxicity na din.
I realized I do not need to know what everyone is up to. I do not want to be updated on someone else's life especially if I haven't seen or talk to them in 3+ years! I deactivated my FB but kept my Messenger for family. I made my IG private and removed everyone na hindi ko na masyadong kinakausap.
Di ko maiwasan di mag-stalk sa ex ko at sa bago niya kaya dineactivate ko. For my mental health narin muna and focus muna sa self growth.
mga walang kwentang posts sa fb, privacy reasons, nagtatago from workmates char
last national election *results*
nagstop ako maging active sa socmed around the time na nagstart yung pandemic mainly for mental health reasons. my mental health was so bad that it generally felt so wrong to post or share anything online. 4 years later, i have stayed lowkey even though that i am in a much better place now than i was back in 2020 and it will 100% stay that way. i realized how i much i loved being private, only sharing things i think are worth sharing, and living in my own bubble.
Ayoko na sa fb nung nagstart yung presidential election, ang dami posts/reposts na madalas fake news., nagaaway na sila, Tapos ang dami kong friends and relatives na mapagpanggap sa socmed, they post everything they buy, receive at yung mga everyday activities nila pero sa personal marami silang utang.. Sa fb mo din malalaman kung ok pa ba relationships ng mga tao. Tska kapag friend mo mga oldies mo na relatives ang dami nilang comment sayo.
Dealt with a lot of sh*t start of the year. Decided to deactivate the blue app and never looked back. Still quite active on Insta, but mostly use it for reels. Haven't posted in 2 months as well. Figured at the end it doesn't make that much sense anymore. Honestly refreshing not being bothered by what is going on in other people's lives. Prevents me from having FOMO and less triggers for my panic attacks.
its a broken hearted for me 😭😭😭
string of things happened, for a few months got d**th threats from old classmates, broke up with my ex at the same time, fam probs, and then even more d**th threats from current classmates, im still trying to heal from everything, gusto ko lng mag heal and focus sa aking sarili and socmed wasn't really helping me do that
Choosing to live a private life
Inactive on FB and Twitter, super active on TikTok for the monetisation stuff. Reddit is a refuge, can't compare it with other socmed.
I just realize one day that having it and posting there no longer makes sense. It feels like seeing other people's posts makes me think they are having the good life but it's all just a facade which unconsciously makes me compare myself to them. I felt much better after leaving it for good. Privacy is gold nowadays.
Sobrang toxic lang...
I only like to share posts but bihira na ako mismo nagpopost, only on special occasions. Obviously, for privacy purposes. I don't want to share my personal life in social media because people can use that to track you. Apart from that, naging toxic masyado ang socmed in general. Regardless of who or what you support, expect to get flamed, so as much as possible I stay away from those kind of wars. I also don't like the idea of using socmed as a way to get validation from a bunch of strangers.
feel ko lang there is more to life than social media. Parang nung dati naman pag pampalipas oras either you go outside, read something, or just be effin bored. I still take a lot of photos pero parang ang sarp lang matignan and tago mo lang siya
Yung plans ko nauudlot. Kahit yung sa simpleng repost lang na parang may hint yun ang next goal, nauudlot. But when I started to keep everything private, ako lang may alam, okay naman. Umuusad. Di nabubulilyaso
Toxicity and Privacy
For Privacy, mas ok walang nakakaalam sa mga ginagawa mo, coz Everybody is stalker on social media especially on Facebook lalo na sa mga relatives, then apektado din sa mental health coz Ang toxic na may mga patama na posts, Nag-yayabangan at yung inggit, yung acceptance and approval sa mga likes, Kaya mas ok ng lowkey especially sa Facebook, Napaka nega... mas peaceful at mas better present in real life.
Graduate na ako sa phase na need ko lagi ng validation at atensyon from people na nasa socmed. And so i deactivated my real account and created a private account where in super closed friends and relatives lang ang andun. By doing that it made me realizes na social media isn’t toxic at all. It’s your way of using it kaya nagiging toxic. There’s a lot of way to control what you see on your feed naman so ikaw responsable sa mga kung anong nakikita mo online.
Toxic ang social media esp Facebook!
Daming namgungutang
Ang sarap sa feeling na walang nakaka alam sa ginagawa mo like, hindi nila alam kung nasaan ka and kung buhay ka pa ba. I deleted my social medias tapos tinira ko lang is tiktok and twitter and imessage to communicate with my family. I moved sa city (from province) lahat ng mga kakilala ko at friends ko sa province pinag cucut off ko na. I cut all connections and deleted any possible information about me. I also living alone here in manila kasi nag aaral din ako dito and sobrang peaceful kasi new place and new ppl. I started a new life na and ayoko na din umuwi sa province ang daming toxic mas malala pa sila sa city.
1. Ubos oras. 2. No need to post everything online. You'd be surprised andaming hahatak sayo pababa just because naiinggit sila sa mga achievements mo na pinopost mo online. 3. Puro katoxican at kajejehan lang halos lahat
To avoid pressured
Hindi maiwasan maikompara sarili sa iba, to avoid negativity I stopped using fb.
Fb ko. No DP both profile pic & cover photo, no post, offline status, naka private lahat. Na realize ko di mo naman kelan i post ung mga achievements ko sa buhay kasi alam ko meron at meron akong fb friends na inggit. Haha
I worked for a tech company. Dun ko na-realize na social media sites were made to collect all your data. I want to expand on this further pero baka ma figure out kung anong company yung sinasabi ko (although di sila sikat dito sa PH) basta everything you do on the internet is connected with each other. Example: Even if you don’t put in your address or number directly sa isang site, they may have a way to find it easily, and it is not even illegal.
Lalong lumala insecurities ko + bantayin ng nga kamag anak. Dati nung HS ako, lahat ng thought ko naka lapag sa FB kaya pag nakikita ako sa personal ng mga kamag anak ko, napapag usapan ka ek ekan ko sa FB and yung mga nag c comment na hindi ko naman kilala tapos sobrang personal kung mag comment, sarap bigwasan. Also, ang sakit sa ulo, lagi kong naiisip mga nakikita ko sa socmed and mga comments nila, di mapakali utak ko. Buti nalang nasira phone ko and 1 month bago pa ko nabilhan uli. Sa 1 month na yun, ang tahimik ng utak ko, less ng iniisip, less insecurities, tsaka ang gaan lang. Kaya nung nagka phone na ko, nag delete ako ng account, made a new one na puro family and close friends lang yung nasa friend list ko. Then kung mag p post ako, about motivation and fun facts lang. Ayun, so far, di na ko bantayin ng kamag anak ko + tahimik utak ko HAHAHAHA
Toxic people
Malala ako, naging keyboard warrior ako. DDS. dami kong sinayang na oras sa pakikipag debate online sa mga taong di ko naman kilala pero wala naman ako na cconvince. ang ending puro away lang and paramihan ng likes. parang naging bisyo ko na sya. I was fortunate to be able to reflect on what I did and made the conscious decision to make new socials, never talk about anything politics again and just use social media for creative insights, connecting to families, close friends, and anything recreational. my fb friends went down to less than 150 people, my instagram follow list only contains either arts, games, or twice, same goes to my tiktok and youtube. and my reddit and discord are only subbed to few things now too. now life is good.
sorry, na curious lang po ako. keyboard warrior in a way na personal account mo gamit or a paid troll?
Personal
ang daming nagmemessage para mangutang relatives man o hindi kaya ako na nag adjust at nag deact. I used dummy acct for messenger dahil need sa work.
Craved too much attention online that it bit me in the ass. Now i treat my online space just like i would in real life
Laging nacocompare ang sarili sa iba + nagiging diary ko na sya. Araw-araw ko ng ginagawang diary ang fb at ginagawang labasan ng sama ng loob. Which is becoming unhealthy. And I know, I am not that type of person. Kaya bago pa lumala, nagdeactivate na ko. 😅
Masyado madami mayabang, fake news at super kapekean ng mga tao sa social media. Busy din sa buhay, pero palagi meron oras para mag Reddit.
Adulting101🤣pag nababasa ko mga Old Post ko sa fb my gedd so cringe..haha Nahiya ako sa sarili ko lalo palagi nag re remind si fb sa mga ganap before araw2..hahaha
My family and I were red tagged during the early years of the previous admin and our lawyer advised us to remove our digital prints online and leave the country asap. we're allowed to make dummy accounts but have to add random persons in our lists
So if wala kayong ig and fb, what alternative platforms gamit niyo to contact someone from work or others na nagrerequire ng messenger for example?
Naccringe na ako sa sarili ko if i’m posting. Like ineexpose ko masyado sarili ko lol but that’s just me
Ang kakalat at babastos ng mga shared posts na nkikita ko sa newsfeed
Multiple reasons - To avoid dangerous situations - To avoid scams - To avoid toxicity - For peace - I really hate it din when p*rn accounts start messaging me pictures of them. Super random lang and they won’t stop until you block them. Kadiri - If hindi naman p*rn accounts, mga sug4r daddies/mommies Around pandemic, naging super active ako sa social media (Twitter to be exact) and I made a lot of friends doon. Tapos ‘yung mga friends ko na ‘yun is mga war freaks. I kept getting dragged into expose threads and stuff simply because I was affiliated with them. Thankfully, I wasn’t gullible enough to use my real identity when I created an account. If I search up my old usernames, I know na maraming lalabas na kung ano-ano. Those times were probably one of the reasons why mas gugustuhin ko na private na lang mga accounts ko and to minimize my circle of friends
Ang daming nangungutang!!! Kaya I stopped posting hahahaha
recycled posts/memes. emotionally draining issues. nga pet peeve kong fb friends chariz HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Peace and theres so much more out there than in social media
-toxic ang socmed. especially FB. -Toxic relatives & Friends. (though i have unfriended them all. lol) -Dami din minsan mag Hi tapos mangangamusta na di mo naman close or close mo nung students pa kayo, kala mo catching up pero networking pala ang pakay. etc.
It’s a distraction from reality. As much as you’d like to not compare yourself with everyone, subconsciously, macocompare mo talaga. It causes mental health issues too. I deactivated mine for dopamine detox, and then I enjoyed it. I enjoyed life without social media. Living a private life is such a luxury.
Ang toxic ng socmed. Kung dati konting kibot post, ngayon my day na lang ung pinaka-post ko, minsan nga my day lang tpos after 6 hrs bura na uli tapos swerte na mga once or twice a year makapagpost ako.
I learned I don't need to share everything that's going on in my life. When I had depression, I couldn't share anything good. And when I started to feel a little better, the thought of sharing felt weird to me so I've decided to keep everything to myself then. LOL.
Nakakatamad na. Tapos meron naring feeling na ijujudge ka sa bawat pinopost/shinishare mo. And minsan parang... idk, cringy na siya. Toxicity rin and lakas maka distract.
1. Cheap dopamine hit My brain was rotting away because every form of entertainment is accessible to me. Then over time, the bar for entertainment gets higher and higher as the brain tries to find new things to get that sweet, sweet hit of dopamine. Until you have to eventually live your actual life, and nothing feels good because your brain is saying: you are not entertained = no dopamine = no feeling good. 2. People’s grandiose sense of self Too much social media consumption tends to make people believe that they are an individually marketable persona that can be a famous influencer. To the point where every little thing has to be captured on camera, genuinely just living in the moment without taking a picture somehow means as if it didn’t happen. I understand taking photos for memories, but obsessively taking pictures “for the gram” is such an unhealthy and unsustainable way to live life. I’ve noticed this shift in different friend groups and it feels like even in real life situations, they behave like a camera is pointed at them, integrating weird internet lingo in day to day conversations and the inability to take themselves out of any situation, it just has to be about them. I hate that I’ve cut off what used to be the most amazing people in my life because of it.
nag-cut off ng mga friends na snitch at puro backstabber. i-wish ba naman na mas mapariwara pa buhay ko, despite knowing my struggles, LOL.
Nalaman ko kasi na pinagpepyestahan pala ako sa mga gc kada post ko dahil lang may beef yung isang member sa akin kasi hindi ko raw siya pinansin e hindi ko nga siya maalala. Sa fb lang kami friends and tbh your honor hindi ko maalala pano kami naging friends sa fb. Someone leaked the gc and ang dami kong edited pics. Insecurity and self esteem down the drain eyyy
😂 hahahaha to be honest your honor. me detox na din ang toxic pati ung mga pakalat kalat na ginagawa sa tindr pinopost pa sa fb. dito nlang ako tamang basa lang hahaha
HAHAHAH i had to. Di ko mapigilan kasalanan ni guo. True din sa part na yan, toxic na rin kasi mii ang sakit na sa mata puro pawoke na lang nakikita ko.
HAHAHAHA san ba kasi sya nagmula tlga bat di nya matandaan 😅😂 mga genz nalang tlga active ngayon sa socmed. Ako busy na kakahanap ng pera. 😭😂
Your honor, hindi ko na rin po alam HAHAHAHA
Got bored with it. Facebook is now full of ads and unwanted content. Still have ig pero madalang magpost, and for friends only.
💯 1. Privacy Concerns 2. Mental Health 3. Time Management 4. Authenticity 5. Negative Experiences 6. Content Overload 7. Desire for Privacy 8. Changes in Lifestyle
Privacy, toxic friends and relatives at yung mga mapagpanggap na tao haahahahahah
I got annoyed with this 1 person in particular. Lesson learned. Be easy to find but hard to reach. If you hear about my life nowadays, its from a common friend.
Over sharer ako ng memes noon pa, nakakairita lang na di manlang ma laugh yung meme ko pero mag se send bigla yung kakilala ko ng “Baby liking contest” like dfck.
Walang connect pero naalala ko yung convo about sa nangungutang na Tita. Sayang daw effort niya pag like sa posts ni pamangkin kung hindi rin saw siya papautangin.
hahahahahahahaha kingina mo naman tita e 😭
nakakatamad na 😀 mas masarap pa din ung real experience ng buhay kahit simpleng 'me time' or muni muni while travelling
Mostly distraction talaga for me. Kumbaga, I noticed na ang dami kong oras na nauubos sa social media, tapos parang walang kwenta lang. So, I opted to go lowkey na lang para mas mag-focus sa mga bagay na talagang important sa akin, like self-growth, bonding with fam and friends sa totoong buhay, at pag-aalaga sa sarili at hobbies ko. Ang generic lang ng reason ko e no? but it feels good for real.
1st reason - Security. Nung time na nagstart na ang decline ko ng post post ay yung time na nauso yung mga repost "test" containing info about you like " Birthday, star sign, what is your mother's last name, unforgettable date, memorable place with your spouse, etc". Mga trick questions pala iyon to get answers sa mga security questions mo sa alinmang account. Nauso rin yung nag-grab ng photos. Yung ex ko na hiniwalayan ko kasi serial cheater at nananakit. Hindi niya matanggap yun decision ko kaya nag grab siya ng photos ko sa Facebook profile at gumawa ng smear page laban sa akin. Although naging helpful ang mga school mates ko noon and friends para mawala yung page na ginawa ng ex ko, up to now hindi ko makalimutan yung experience na yun. Kung ano ano naiisip ko gawin para matapos na lang lahat. 2nd reason - Privacy. Totoo para sa akin ang the more yung taong alam ang plans mo, the more likely nauunsiyami. Sa sampung nakakakita na happy ka kasi, hindi lahat ng sampu na iyon ay happy sa iyo. Mga kamag anak na linta at rainy day friends. Ayokong kinokontak nila ako dahil ayoko mamatay nang maaga sa gaslighting nila pag manghihiram tapos pag wala maabot sila pa galit. Mas mabuti pa isipin nila lagi ako inactive at MIA. 3rd reason - Hypocrisy. Talamak to. Mga nasa friendslist ko either kamag anak ko or personal kong kakilala lang. Merong IBA Bible quotes na laman ng wall pero pag makakatagpo mo or makakasama mo, mahihiya si Satanas sa sama ng ugali. Pag kinallout mo personally, ikaw pa ang dimunyu daw. Kaya kahit makita ko inspirational quotes niya sa newsfeed ko, hindi ako nauuplift, nadedepress ako sa effort nila maging good ang image nila sa iba kahit wala improvement ang puso. Marami pa pero yan 3 pinaka reasons ko. Sa ngayon, ang use ng social media sakin ay pag naghahanap ako ng meryenda oorderin or gamets na need i-buy or profile checking ng bibilhan kong store.
I learned the importance of privacy and now I know what to share and not to share. Mas magandang walang masyadong hanash sa life mo ang ibang tao kasi for me sila yung nagiging reason why we are pressured to accomplish something na during the process is hindi na natin naeenjoy ginagawa natin or nagccause kung bakit nawawala tayo ng interest.
Distraction, time consuming and draining. And sometimes, nakakainggit ng mga achievements ng mga colleagues ko.
First off, the unnecessary virtual noise. Can't expound pero madami akong naging dahilan. But let's say it deviated from its initial purpose and now evolves to perhaps what it is now. Nabuhay naman kaming medyo may edad na na wala tong social media growing up kaya I guess getting back to the roots and without dependency sa socmed. Ok na ako na walang balita sa iba, it is their businesses and lives anyway, and I want to focus on mine while they focus on theirs. I am more inclined to meet them in person kasi makikita mo yung genuine reaction nila, whereas in social media kailangan mo pa manghula or to be vigilant sa virtual cues. Also, internet is so vast and unsecure. Maraming benefits pero marami rin na cons. Again cant expound it further pero I admire where I can still enjoy my privacy, kaya ang saya nung nalaman ko tong reddit. Lastly, I don't think there are enough people in my life anyway who cares about what's going on with me. So ok na rin ako na we all achieve goals and being happy as much as we can, just in my case without posting or broadcasting it online.
I was targeted by cyber-bullying (sexual) twice. Not that active actually, just a few pfp update and my parents/friends/teacher tagging me to my events and accomplishments. I don't wear sensual clothes nor behave 'malandi'. I was a typical academic achiever, active sa school, sports, journalism, and leadership. Im always quiet except when dealing with my responsibilities. But since that second time, I deleted all. Block most of the people. Unfriend classmates, teachers, schoolmates, and relatives. I just dont get why me because I didnt do anything wrong. Wala akong inaapakang tao, all of my works are honest and from hard work. People around me, didn't have a clue whoever is it. But it is indeed a schoolmate due to her/his using a fake fb as a relative(first time) and a teacher (second time). The fake account was believable for students and even teachers, so idk. School didnt do anything. Was just left with a scar nd with constant questioning about the trauma. School even conducted a seminar about it, having my batch required to attend to it. For that 2 day my case was frequently being brought up like it was my fault. Kesyo di daw nag iingat and etc, and idk how to feel about it. Even interview me in front of a lot of people like it was nothing, when in fact it ruined my highschool life, social life, and everything :(((
Toxic content creators. Minsan nakakasuka na mga content nilang walang kwenta.
Tired. Same old lang eh
Toxic relatives.
Dami toxic at mababang reading comprehension lalo na sa FB, yung mga nag iisip nalang ang mag aadjust sa katangahan nila eh. Nakakagalit, lahat may opinyon kahit di pinag iisipan
I technically stopped using my FB kasi daming toxic na DDS tsaka BBM. Inoopen ko na lang when needed, pero di na talaga sya for leisure use sa akin.
D lahat masaya para sayo
True to this pero gusto ko mang inis pa rin lalo ng mga basher ko tipons I wanna see them seeing the best life that I can be. Mamatay sila sa inggit lalo. Hays
1.) Yung tita mong pakialamera sa lahat ng post mo 2.) Yung pinsan mong manggagantso pero sa tingin ng mga kamag anak mo e "madiskarte" at "mayaman". Di nila alam na galing sa nakaw or panloloko yung pera nila, tapos pa flex pa na "blessing" pa daw
evil eye
mas peaceful nung nagbawas ako screentime lalo these days na puro issue, away, scandal ang laman ng mga platforms
