    For someone who used to be addicted to his phone but now uses it for less than 30 min a day, life's never been better.

    One day we all realize “What am I doing?”

    I’m glad someone else called out those idiots who actually believe that mourning doves are extinct. I literally hear them all the time.
  • As a 16 year old girl whos recently deleted social media (not for the first time, i used to keep going back lmfao), ive noticed a huge difference in a matter of days. ive spent so much time reading, listening to audiobooks, writing, going for walks, colouring, even just finding the weirdest ways to keep myself entertained, and just hobbies in general that i completely abandoned to use my phone, or spend time on unnecessary socials, and its been so beyong refreshing. I feel like we all forget how to live normally until we truly delete everything. I'm literally limiting myself to an hour of youtube a day (on my laptop or tv only, i dont have it on my phone) and 15 minutes of time on messages, so i can interact with friends, etc, but I still go to school, so i see everyone everyday, to further this progress ive already made, and see good results. I just wish more teens saw how your teenage years are literally the perfect time to stop using these apps that are literally ruining their mental health. Ive already seen so much improvement in a matter of days, and im beginning to learn how to entertain myself again and it truly feels amazing!!

    these days moms use their phones more than their kids lol
  • @nicolasbolas2247
    I've decided that the common variable amongst most problems in my life is my phone. Bad attention span and can't study? Phone. Trouble talking to other people? Phone. Anxious? Phone. Porn? Phone. Today is the start of my journey using it as little as possible. Godspeed everyone

    as a active bird watcher, yall are missing out, there are birds everywhere literally, when I talk about birds people think I am crazy, but the people around me now notice more birds, and tell me 'hey I never noticed the birds before and now I see them all the time, they are interesting to watch and see, I couldn't see them before' I enjoy doing 'nothing' by going outside sitting in the grass and just existing out there, its so relaxing and enjoyable.
  • @kierlak
    Excessive mobile phone use makes our bodies create so much dopamine. As a result we have not much left. We may feel tired, distracted, unmotivated, disconnected, anxious and even in the long run: depressed. Other activities also work in a similar way: eating comfort food, sugary snacks, alcohol, pornography, gambling, drugs, etc. If we want to go even deeper we can start asking ourselves: "What is it that I am trying to distract myself from ?" That can be many things happening on a subconscious level: painful feelings of let's say not feeling connected to your parents, friends and yourself. And many other unmet needs. You can't go far without self-awareness.

    Dude sleepovers and Waking Up on saturday or generally on weekends used to be so fun.
  • @nic4ils
    I wish I hadn't spent most part of my life on my phone. It is literally my biggest regret in life. Yeah mom, you were always right
  • @eloelo4613
    Unbelievable how my Brain was trying to tell me to skip through this work of art even though it was only 10 minutes long. It‘s crazy how addicted I am to quick dopamine. I forced myself to watch the Full video and was crying for the second half. Thank you. I love you as a human being.
  • @arshr6964
    brain rot has taken the best of us :p
  • @chervargas5525
    People might look down on me because of what I do for a living- I have an in-home preschool. But every day I get to live and interact with life this way through the eyes of children. They saved my spirit from this world. Shredded my ideas of limits of joy or patience, kindness and creativity. They have retaught me wonder, the simple art of wonder. That brings me so much peace.
  • I hate seeing people walking round outside while on their phone…. It happens a lot! They’re missing out on so much !
  • @SupraTompan
    This is hands down one of the best videos to watch 2024. I was in tears half the video, watching and listening, realizing how much I have missed out on just because of a phone. Now, out and play with my 3 year old son.
  • @XalpeN16
    Whenever I hear the mourning dove, it always transfers me to a simpler time.
  • @cherryhazard8002
    I went on a vacation away from the city with my boyfriend for some days, I felt alive for the first time in some time when I didn't access my phone as much and I was on the company of someone I loved. It really does matter!
