Questions: Technology & Internet

it has been 24 hrs since i deactivated my Instagram and logged out of twitter and snapchat. i’m trying my best to stay off it but it’s harder when you’re addicted... it got to the point where i’d open my social media first thing in the morning instead of brushing my teeth. I never felt satisfied with using social media it’d take a toll on my self esteem and i feel like i have to post everything about my life to seek validation. I’ve noticed that when i go to parties people have their phones out snapchatting the whole experience when it’s actually better to just live it in the moment and enjoy ourselves without getting our phones out. Social media is designed to keep us distracted it’s a weapon for the people in charge and it’s a weakness for many of us. I want to just forget everyone and live a private life. How do i go social media free and how do i get rid of this addiction?
