Doom scrolling ruined me.

[Kld2030]

These days, I started to notice that I am starting to get bored of EVERYTHING. Literally EVERYTHING, I can’t stand playing the game I just bought even though it’s ACTUALLY fun. Or maybe focusing and paying attention in class. It is so bad to the point that when my mom tells me to do something maybe even going to the supermarket, I FORGET TO DO IT.
So I will start with these things:
1- deleting yt and TikTok from my phone.
2- touching grass and getting out of the house.
3- spend time with my family because “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man”
4- study for my final that are coming this week.
That’s about it.


So PLEASE my friend DO NOT doom scroll PLEASE.

Ultimamente, tenho percebido que estou começando a me entediar com TUDO. Literalmente TUDO. Não suporto jogar o jogo que acabei de comprar, mesmo que seja DIVERTIDO. Ou talvez me concentrar e prestar atenção na aula. É tão ruim que, quando minha mãe me pede para fazer alguma coisa, talvez até ir ao supermercado, eu ESQUEÇO DE FAZER.
Então, vou começar com o seguinte:
1- Apagar o YouTube e o TikTok do meu celular.
2- Tocar na grama e sair de casa.
3- Passar tempo com minha família porque “um homem que não passa tempo com sua família nunca poderá ser um homem de verdade”
4- Estudar para as minhas provas finais que serão esta semana .
É basicamente isso.


Então, POR FAVOR, meu amigo, NÃO fique rolando a tela sem parar, POR FAVOR.

I understand you, my friend. I'm in the same situation as you; I was very nervous and anxious. Good luck on your exams, I'm rooting for you!

My brotha

Delete all yout social media, disable shorts on youtube. Done.

 

[Lod 10]

Exclua todas as suas redes sociais e desative os vídeos curtos no YouTube. Pronto.

Is there a way to disable short videos? Can you teach me how I can do it? I want to do this.

 

[gastd]

That doesn't sound good, you have to be careful otherwise you will get depressed and it won't be that easy to get out of it. I know what I'm talking about I've been struggling with this for years too sometimes I feel good, sometimes I don't, it's like a vicious circle! Good luck for your exams! Take care.

BGood luck, bro. I understand you perfectly; I have anxiety and other personal problems too. But I'm feeling much better now, I can relax a bit. I trust you, good luck on your exams.

In your browser, you can just install this extension: Enhancer for YouTube.

If you’re on Android, though, just use ReVanced.
Just google it on how to install.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers mate, i will absolutely not going to rose glass reality, but News has turned from informative media to fearmongering for the sake of views

You already took the wise choice deleting social media and focusing on yourself, my best choice is to try to find a non-tech hobby, i have become calmer after finding how fun crosswords and Sudoku are

Oh I agree that messes up your whole nerves speaking from experience sadly its far to easy as those get recommend even if you just want to watch a funny cat video for instance..next Video why most Male Cats stay single in 2025 and Female Cats have to high Standards in cat dating..and so on.

but on a Serious note its very hard not to be bombarded with bad news even if I don't seek politics or news out at all I just turn on Youtube to watch some gaming or anime video or meme video and ka boom here have some grim politics directly affecting you...I mean come on give me a break.

So the best you can do I agree is touch grass and I mean grass on the ground friendly officers not the one you smoke.

Good and all but

3- spend time with my family because “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man”

A REAL MAN SPENDS TIME PLAYING HELLO KITTY GAMES

There fixed it for you thank me later

So PLEASE my friend DO NOT doom scroll PLEASE.

I never do in the first place.

I don't know exactly is going nor what you saw, but hang in there. You got family to care, and a family loves you back. That is all which matters right now. Taking a big break from gaming won't hurt that. Comeback later, and if any of the wife or kids to play with you or do co-op, go for it.

I never bother with social media and tik tok. I know they have their good parts, but that is not worth spending so much time on there. YouTube, I still use, but I know when to avoid the really shitty parts and people on the platform.

You take care, gets some rest, and finished responsibilities that need to be done. Don't let assholes nor foolish assholes online or in real life stop you.

Social Media is a fucking curse on our lives.

I've deleted most of my profiles and got a dumb phone. Never felt better, legit.

 

[Rox00]

Welcome to the grass touching club where it's only grass and no social media.
For real though, try to enjoy the short time that is life with what you enjoy doing instead of doom scrolling. Life's absolutely worth it when you just do what you like instead!

 

[Dyne]

Yeah, this forum is the closest I get to social media.
I think you've made a great choice.
I also think the damage done to your attention span or whatever won't be permanent if you stay on this new course.

I hate social media as it seams to make people lose all their brain cells. Sure some time while I wait for some thing I can scroll on youtube short to watch something funny or something interesting. Man Man I hate short video honestly even 20 minutes videos are disappointing as hell hence why im glad that a few youtubers I have often make 40min to 1 hour 30 min videos.

20 min just makes me sad and I know I have to wait a few days to a week until next 20min episode.

I'm glad I only had Myspace when I was young; it was pretty much Tinder for scene kids.

You're doom scrolling? What secrets are they hiding?

Also eat pork buns. In the words of a wise man "a man who never eats pork buns is not a whole man"

You're doing good! Smartphones and apps can really ruin you mentally.
