Social media has been affecting my mental health lately and its been a long time since my last break. I’m so tired of doomscrolling and being anxious around my social media posts. Documented the week off socials and wanted to share how i quit doomscrolling! Thanks for watching and lmk how you stop doomscrolling! Should I do a 30 day challenge?! xo -Alisha Marie
From 2016 to 2021, I’ve always had Social Media and felt like it was mandatory or else I would miss out on my friends, others, and everything that was happening across the world. However, I could slowly feel myself scrolling my life away, while having my time, energy, and mental health being zapped away.
So, what if there was the chance, to live a life completely free and away from Social Media?

Aldous Huxley and Brave New World: The Dark Side of Pleasure
Are we voluntarily choosing our own extinction? In this video, we explore how social media is literally rewiring our brains, destroying our ability to think deeply, and pushing humanity toward a future eerily similar to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.
From Facebook’s own studies showing Instagram harms teenage mental health, to modern neuroscience revealing how dopamine pathways are hijacked by our feeds, we’re seeing Huxley’s prophecy unfold in real-time.
You’ll discover:
📱 How algorithms manipulate your dopamine and attention spans
🧠 Why your brain is losing its ability to experience genuine satisfaction
🤖 How we’re becoming algorithmic clones, losing individuality and creativity
🧬 The shocking evolutionary risks of digital addiction
💡 Practical ways to resist: neuroplasticity, digital detox, and reclaiming your mind
Aldous Huxley warned us nearly a century ago. Are we too distracted to notice?

Social Media Brain Rot Is Scaring Me! I love my job on social media and everything it’s brought into my life and the lives of so many others around the world. But the more time I spend on social media, the more I see how it’s slowly damaging our minds. From declining social skills and shrinking attention spans to unhinged AI images, deepfakes, and the creative industry being taken over, social media is changing everything. I’m now doing my best to set new boundaries and take back control before social media brain rot get’s worse.

Social media is wonderful for so many communities and it’s helped platform some great businesses and people. Heck, if social media didn’t exist, you probably wouldn’t even know me! But, I wanted to have an open, honest conversation about why I refrain from some of the larger platforms, how it has altered my life and what it looks like to say, “I don’t use social media.”

Social Media. It is something everyone seems to agree has some pretty negative consequences, along with some positives. But we rarely stop and ask what it is about this simple collection of words and images that seems to cause so much distress. And in The Transparency Society, Byung-Chul Han aims to answer this very thing. So, let’s learn how we killed privacy, and why you hate social media.
