Glad you were able to break away from social media. I’m trying to learn to spend less time on the phone in general I think that will be good lol. Also I respect you for basically changing your outlook on life. I might try the journal thing too, thanks for this post.Over the past two years, I have learned much about life and myself.
The main thing I learned is that social media is not a good use of my time. Over the past two years, I have dropped Instagram, Facebook, Discord, and Twitter. I also never installed Tik Tok. Currently, I use Snapchat sparingly, with only 50 people added. Quitting social media has been the best thing to ever happen to me, as when I have new experiences, I am not quick to take a picture and post it on social media; rather, I enjoy the moment for it is.
Another thing that helped me is having a journal where I write about my thoughts, whether they are negative or positive. It was a productive way to internalize life's good and bad. If I'm upset, I usually write something related to what I am mad about and write something meaningful (typically philosophical), and it helps me understand myself and others.
Another lesson I learned is that most people do not care what you do. In adolescence, most people believe that someone is analyzing your every move; it took me some time to adopt a more stoic mentality, drastically improving my mental health.
One major thing is to keep an open mind as I can learn something new, which allows me to engage with ideas I would have never heard of so I still have much to learn in life!
I agree with the social media last year was the least I ever used it and I felt pretty good about it ngl. Yup and always forgive yourself that’s the only way to heal. You avoiding certain convos can be good for you you mental health in of itself yup. Thanks for this post.Multiple things -
- Social Media sucks, and I wish I didn't have to use it (career, work, keeping in contact with friends, etc.).
- Forgiving myself doesn't make me weaker, nor does it allow people who have wronged me to "win" (as stupid as that sounds).
- Not engaging in certain "types" of conversation is exceptionally beneficial for my mental health.
- Introspection really, REALLY helps.
Nice glad you was able to pick up a new skill. It does sound like it would come in handy.Spent 4 months working indoor construction, felt like I was at that time in my life where I'm gonna need to learn it eventually. Overall, not much, but you learn quite a few basics that will probably come handy in the future
Glad you learned alot I hope the rest of 2023 goes well for you.I've learned a lot in 2022 as this year was full of surprises for me.
The most important thing I've learned is to enjoy life for what it is. I have a mindset that is very focused around self improvement, but something I have realized is to focus on the present alongside this. Beforehand, I would spend a lot of my time trying to get better instead of appreciating the little things and moments as well as the positive aspects of myself. This would lead to me never being satisfied with things and instead just zooming in on the next achievement, but this mindset was damaging as it pushed me out of the present moment.
Another thing I realized is that life is so much better when you just focus on yourself and do things that make you happy. Life is essentially just being satisfied with what you do, and conforming to society's standards isn't necessarily necessary for that. Celebrate the little things, as they matter as much as the big milestones. Some people will make fun of you inevitably, but it's important to ignore them and just doing what you please. Social media makes this hard, so it's important to limit your time there or at least just stopping yourself from drawing comparisons to other people because everyone takes life at their own pace.
The last thing that I learned in 2022 is that eating raw onions is very painful but surprisingly enjoyable. It's the same as eating spicy food.
Yep True happiness must come from within firstI don't need to be in a romantic relationship to be happy with myself or to have a happy life. I can be happy without a romantic relationship.

Can you two do me a favor? Say that louder so everyone at my college can hear you. Seriously, it drives me insane just how much people here can flip their attitude completely depending on how much time they've spent with their S.O. recently. It's gotten so bad that the natural assumption whenever any of the guys is gone becomes "Oh, they're probably at so-and-so" doing... things with each other. Things that I won't say online, that's for sure.Yep True happiness must come from within first

I've spent pretty much my whole life completely away from the idea of committing to relationship, and I'd like to think I've been much happier as a result of being able to try and make my own decisions.
You’ll get there keep at it!I've been trying to learn guitar! Started in September. Wish I was better at it. Apparently for the first year you just totally suck and it sucks because you can't get anything to sound good during the process.
That’s amazing keep it up and good luck!I've discovered a passion for machine learning, and have been learning all I can this past year to improve my knowledge. In this process, I've become super good at several coding languages and have published a few case studies (i.e., applying a logistic regression model to improve client retention) at my business school where I'm doing my masters degree.
It has even helped get me a new upcoming job as a data scientist!!! I'm super excited for what the future holds.
