*Why does SOCIAL MEDIA lower your self-confidence and greatly influence your life?*
First of all, when we think of Instagram, Facebook or any other social network, we think of perfect lives, of people who want to show that they are perfect (I used to do that too and sometimes I still do), but they will never put the moments when they are down, we only see what is beautiful and rosy.
•Now you will ask yourself "yes, but how do I stop sitting so long?.. I say I sit for 10 minutes and then 2 hours pass.
How does it influence your self-confidence?
•Well first of all, delete from follow people who only show a perfect and luxurious life, even if you could learn something from them, you won't learn from insta when you see a Ferrari or a Lambo. Not!
Then, look at the time you spend, it could be 1 hour, or maybe 3, be careful! The solution to this would be to delete your Instagram, Facebook until the moment when you really want to do something, communicate with someone, not scroll aimlessly.
You can use WhatsApp, it's much better!
•And one more point I want to tell you about is that I have noticed in myself, strictly in my own person, that Instagram "helps" me lose my self-confidence, because I compare myself to others, because I see something cool, on a consistent level you say no, but your subconscious knows.
You lose your self-confidence, and especially your focus, since I've been using Insta I've been more unfocused than ever.
And the last thing, you feel more unhappy, I felt it firsthand, maybe you did too, but it's true, you don't enjoy the little things anymore.
How to stop losing your self-confidence?
*Some tools to help you stop spending so much time on Instagram would be:
- Delete it until you really need it.
- draw
- create something (a quote, a poem, write a blog)
- do sports
- socialize
- meditates
- Focus on yourself and see how you feel.
I hope I helped you and was useful to you! I recommend you get the mini pdf I wrote HOW TO BECOME CONFIDENT, you have all the information and exercises you need there. It will quickly help you gain confidence and put everything I say there into practice.
