How can I quit Instagram? I delete it then open it again cause I feel like I’m missing out?

I want to quit social media but it seems like when I go abroad or weekends away with my boyfriend I feel the need to post. How can I just live life without posting and sharing what I'm doing?

90% of people I know seem to be on social media posting pics/videos of what they’ve done, who they’re with etc

will people just assume that if I don’t post I have a boring life?

I feel like if I don't post, people think I've got nothing going on for myself

anyone here not on social but are living a great life?

If you are actually enjoying what you are doing AND how you feel while doing it, you won't feel the need to share it with everyone.

Start focusing on growing your relationship with yourself. You are caring too much about others opinions, and not focused on your opinions. When you feel good about who you are and how you live your life, you don't care about what others think. If you were completely focused on making the best of yourself and your life, you wouldn't have the time to focus on anyone else's opinions about you.

So start doing EVERYTHING you can to take better care of yourself & your life.

First step is to stop caring how others feel about you because you mentioned how you are only on when you are bored, so wouldn’t that make you boring if you are always on social media?

So if me and my boyfriend look really cute in a pic or go somewhere nice, how do I fight the urge to post?

[kylee2437]

@geminigirl97xo you post them because it gives you validation points. Why not use those pics to make a cute scrap book for both of you and possibly gift it to him?

[Geminigirl97xo]

Yes I will do. We’re going to the carribean in may and I don’t think I’ll even post that either

[kylee2437]

Don’t! Live life for yourself. Take cute pics but don’t make him go out of the way for “instagram worthy” pics. Girl I’m excited for you. A vacation while living in the moment is going to be so worth it

Usually people with boring lives need Instagram. That or people who are trying to promote their FOR PROFIT BUSINESSES

I work for a non profit, so I just use it to post photos of my life, not my business

Write ✍️ it in a journal and share with boyfriend and then edit ✍️ together. FUN. Use paper 📝. Wired ring notebook 📒 . NO keyboarding.

Cancel your internet ay home.
Shut off the data package in your phone.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Just delete the app and resist the urge to go back.

After a period of time pass, you won't go back.

Keep pictures on your phone or keep them to yourself. Social media is bullshit
