I so appreciate this podcast. Thank you.

It's more like a bulletin board.... but very distracting... real bulletin board is informing people and is not so busy, is not misleading to people.

Well done

Cloudy Azi oh boy… after 29 days, i got back on and i am sadly still on. the addiction is worse than ever, i suppose, because i keep convincing myself i need it to keep friends and socialise. my city has been in lockdown since the end of june and will be until at least the end of august

​@@brownhairedgirl23Hey, how are you doing nowadays? Hope you were able to achieve your goal once again, we have to fight the addiction 💪🏼

Excellent timing! I deleted them in Nov 2020, after Covid came, George Floyd and the election. Will never join again.

Samehere bro, he is very impressive, convinced me too

agreed! people would rather scroll at your profile instead of reaching out and saying hello :(

Facts

Society has changed . Everything is almost taken for granted outside the virtual world. Due to this, people have become distanced from reality.

Social media is like a person who is thinking of playing guitar is talking to a person who is thinking of cooking....They dont see each other so they dont know what the person wants to talk about or how much....and they talk of topics not of themselves socializing.

I think so, plus selfish

There is old saying that "When they are catching the bird, they are singing to it nicely."

true. They don't even make an effort anymore to do basic things like text back or end a text conversation properly because apparently, now, we are 'always connected'

It's lonely at the top. Listen to him. "Friends" on social media are not real friends, period. Take feelings of isolation and get to know yourself. "To thine own self be true." Love yourself and you will attract real friends because you will be mentally healthy. Social media is an addiction!!!

@@SusanBrewerspiritraveler thank you

@@Bayo106 Exactly. I'm old school. Connection means alot to me in real life not likes and hearts on social media

I agree. I emailed one person four times, she never responded back. People are struck in the world. Time is precious to me. i want people talk to me.

You should know better if you are in your 80s. I'm 77 and I've never had a smart phone (I have an old flip cell phone only, no texting, no carrying around with me, etc) or social media account. I'm an artist who intuitively knew how damaging all this tech was for the human spirit. I'm so grateful I listened to my inner wisdom.

rita zita 😂😂 facts

Ok Boomer...🤪 Facebook is BOOMERS, that's why I got off. Now they are trying to keep up on instagram, so I deleted that, too 😂😂😂. Who wants to be friends with their granny or great grandma? 👊😂💀

@@freedomisthechoicesyoumake8594 You speak as though they are following you around...you also speak like someone that parrots social media "insults" 'coz you think you sound cool...you either don't know what a boomer is or can't do basic math...neither Julie nor Rita are boomers. Now run along and delete UKposts coz people of older generations are here too...'coz you're just that special!

so am i

Good point! Maybe though swopping carb age with fats ( keto movement doesn't say no carbage just very limited eg 50g or less a day) equates with digital by limiting usesage to what develops your path / values , using it for what jobs had in mind in 2007 and swop it with analogue ( books papers ,radio ,learn an instrument, volunteer , sports,family/partner friends conversation, basically get a real life !!) The real life analogue activities are the beneficial fats . Much more fulfilling and satiating ( like fats )

No quit it ,it’s a evil platform an that’s the truth

Tell an alcoholic not to drink some much.... Doesn't work. They make social media addictive. Maybe some can resist the addiction, but in reality most teenagers can't. It's just a fact. Best solution for most people is no social media.

i understand that completely; i'm an artist as well, but i'm a graphic designer full-time, so i don't rely on my art to pay my bills. however it is something that i've wanted to grow into a passive source of additional income over the last few years. what's worked for me is doing more in-person networking, like attending classes and workshops, as well as going to local galleries, museums, and art shows. i still use instagram, but i don't keep it on my phone, and i relegate "browsing" to my desktop computer only (which i'm almost never around.) it's been the most helpful to establish an intention about how i'm going to use the app. i only follow artists that inspire me. it might sound cruel, but i stopped following "friends" or other artists just for the sake of "supporting" them, because it ended up just being mental clutter. i've curated my feed to only be work that inspires me, by artists generally far above me. and when i do check in on their work, i try to leave long, thoughtful comments that usually always include a question about their process or materials. this way, if they do respond, i'm gaining a small insight that's beneficial to me. as far as sharing my work, i used to snap photos of things and immediately share them to my stories while i was working on them. it took my attention away from my work and put it onto "i have to show my followers that i'm being productive" -- that couldn't be further from the truth. now, i still take photos of works in progress, but i save them up and then write a blog post about whatever it was i was working on...even it was months after the fact. i've never had a ton of traffic, and i honestly don't want it. but i understand that you're in a different situation -- my best advice is remove the stuff from your phone, and get yourself out there to in-person events (: (and if you ever want to reach out and chat, feel free!) - Renn

*gasp*
