Solitude is your path of personal independence -

Being alone makes me really happy its like my special place where i can be myself and feel good i don't feel the need for another person to take responsibility for my happiness and emotional needs and i don't really want somebody in the phase i am in i can think and be creative without any interruptions it's like a peaceful break from everything else

Being alone helps me find peace in simple things like reading or walking outside these moments refresh me and make me feel more creative. Being alone also helps me understand myself better now I can think deeply about my feelings and thoughts which helps me grow as a person indeed.

Solitude is a phase that teaches you how to handle your emotions and bad days without relying on someone else. It actually teaches you how to live without depending on others and without ranting about your problems to them

And i want to message those people who constantly seek emotional support from everyone and keep crying that they need someone i feel they need to work on themselves or they have to accept the situation and think about what they can do themselves..instead of constantly seeking attention. Seeking attention all the time makes you mentally weak remember that. I feel that they should question themselves "Why do i need someone else am i not enough?"

Being alone doesn't mean staying comfortable It's about finding strength and discovering who you are ...it's about facing challenges, overcoming fears, and becoming stronger ..when you're alone you have the power to chase your dreams and conquer obstacles so don't think it's not brave to be alone it actually shows how strong and determined you really are.

Solitude makes you quickly observe things around you apart from the world of social media. If you begin on a journey of self discovery and learn to be with yourself ...you won't feel the need for others as much. This journey is very difficult I'm not saying that it's easy lol no!! especially for those who can't live without relying on others but if you want your future self to thank you then don't hesitate just start today . Because today's generation is busy distracting people but we need to bring self control. If you want to understand yourself better.

It took me three years to get in this habit and now i don't need anyone. I don't like to share my problems with anyone because i don't feel it's necessary. I have made myself mentally strong to the point where i don't feel the need for a second person

Last Note :

And if you guys have any questions or anything to ask related to this don't hesitate you can ask me freely :) thanks for giving your time

I have a self discovery questions sheets so that you can guys know yourself better if you want that Dm me 🎀

stop letting social media and society set the timeline of your life. you're not too old to go back to school. you're not too old to get married. you're not too old to enjoy playing in the park or filling in coloring books.

you're never too old to just be a person.

"Tick tock", reminded the clock.

"How long are you planning on wasting time?

Your entire range of movements a thumb flick and a digital click.

All your emotions shown by tears and a frown.

Words coming out in a tantrum.

Entire being full of selfish desires."

But how long must I wait?

All the plans being laid yet not once have been done.

Whenever desperation becomes too much it comes out as selfishness.

When is later?

When is tomorrow?

When is next week?

Why has it been months yet every word felt like a timeloop of a response.

A mere "no" would've been better than have me expect.

All excited for a promise not and never fulfilled.

Maybe I am selfish.

Perhaps I am merely thinking of me, myself.

But how can you blame the selfish beggar who only wanted to be spared time?

"Digital Self-Care: Setting Boundaries Online"

In our increasingly interconnected and digital world, setting boundaries online has become an essential aspect of overall well-being. The omnipresence of smartphones, social media platforms, and constant connectivity can lead to information overload, digital fatigue, and potential negative impacts on mental health. Recognizing the importance of establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in the digital realm is crucial for fostering a balanced and fulfilling life.

The Importance of Setting Boundaries:

Protecting Mental Health:

Constant exposure to digital stimuli can contribute to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Setting boundaries helps in preserving mental well-being by allowing individuals to detach from the digital world and focus on real-world experiences.

Maintaining Healthy Relationships:

Unchecked screen time can interfere with personal relationships. Establishing digital boundaries ensures that quality time is dedicated to offline interactions, fostering stronger connections with family and friends.

Productivity Enhancement:

Excessive use of digital devices may lead to a decline in productivity. By delineating specific time slots for work, leisure, and rest, individuals can optimize their productivity and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Preventing Information Overload:

The constant influx of information from various sources can be overwhelming. Setting boundaries on information consumption helps individuals filter and prioritize content, preventing information overload and promoting a more focused and intentional use of online resources.

Tips for Managing Screen Time and Creating Balance:

Define Clear Work and Leisure Hours:

Establish specific time frames for work-related activities and leisure pursuits. This demarcation helps in preventing work from encroaching into personal time, promoting a healthier balance between professional and personal life.

Designate Tech-Free Zones:

Identify areas in your home or specific times of the day where digital devices are off-limits. This could be during meals, in the bedroom before bedtime, or in designated relaxation spaces. This practice encourages more mindful engagement with the physical environment.

Utilize Screen Time Tracking Tools:

Many devices offer screen time tracking features that provide insights into digital habits. Utilize these tools to monitor and manage daily screen time, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their online activities.

Establish Social Media Boundaries:

Set limits on social media usage to prevent mindless scrolling. Designate specific times for checking social platforms, and consider detox periods where you take a break from social media to recalibrate and refocus.

Prioritize Face-to-Face Interactions:

Actively schedule in-person meetings and activities. Physical interactions contribute significantly to emotional well-being and can provide a necessary break from the digital world.

Learn to Say No:

Be mindful of overcommitting to online engagements. Learn to say no to invitations, notifications, or requests that can contribute to digital overwhelm. Prioritize activities that align with your personal and professional goals.

Practice Mindfulness:

Incorporate mindfulness practices into your routine, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. These practices can help create a sense of presence and awareness, reducing the stress associated with constant digital connectivity.

By consciously setting boundaries in the digital realm, individuals can enhance their overall well-being, improve personal relationships, and cultivate a healthier balance between the online and offline aspects of their lives. Digital self-care is an evolving practice that requires mindfulness and adaptability, empowering individuals to navigate the digital landscape in a way that promotes their holistic health and happiness.

notes to self: existing delulu land edition

knowing yourself and your needs and accepting then instead of ignoring them or forcing yourself to change is the first step towards most of what you want. once you understand that, you can work around it, you can work with it.

your need is connections. human connections that are authentic and warm and present. you don't like people who are absent and those that are inconsistent in their communication. it makes you anxious and triggers your overthinking qualities. you want to feel secure in the connection you share with the person and presence, consistent communication, and actions aligning with words are the basics of that.

so you don't force yourself to not want connections. you just make sure your life is full of wholesome, fulfilling, beautiful ones. you pick the good ones and you say bye to the bad ones before they develop into sources of unnecessary agony and hurt. you realize how to limit the impact of a connection with someone and how to deal with disappointment.

feeling good about yourself and being at peace with yourself, at least a little bit, is what will help you have clarity about what you want in a relationship and in your life. because then you won't be using people and situations as maladpative coping mechanisms or a way to soothe your insecurities or fill holes instead of fix them.

what do you not feel good about right now? the lack of stability across most aspects of your life? you're working on it, I know. and it's hard, I know. but you have to continue. for yourself. and to also form the kind of connections that you seek the most with others in life.

you have to lower the volume of social media and all these cross connections. meme culture and reels and echo chambers that make you feel like being delulu is the only solulu and that everyone is depressed and everything is fucked and adulting is the worst. because the truth is that it may make you laugh and humour helps but subconsciously you start believing these narratives and then it becomes the normal. but when the fuck did it become okay to normalize feeling tired and sleepless all the time? girl dinner and sad boi hours? situationships and casual dating when such intimacy means something to you? if you were 19 maybe you could let all this be a part of your vocabulary and life. but at 26 when you're seeking a balanced, healthy, good life and future, you have to reduce your consumption of the internet content and really protect your brain.

[vividdreamer]

full offence but nobody is immune to propaganda so instead of shitting on somebody's attempt to educate themselves and be better, because you think "oh but i ALREADY knew the truth x years ago," how about you look in the mirror and think about that one time YOU fell for some bullshit too

[distortedidentity]

Technology is such a fucking trap. You get your first device at 10 latest if you're lucky, and then you're immediately shitblasted with 5 different sources of addiction all at once. Will you game, doomscroll, or develop a crippling addiction to pornography? None of that catches your interest? You can always try gambling, or snuff films!

Enjoy watching your brain chemistry permanently change, enjoy neglecting your social and academic lives to the point where both are in shambles! Say goodbye to any hobbies you have, because hooking up to the machine is a full time commitment!! Your parents hate you, and/or wonder how they failed you! ☆

What's that, tech just isn't doing it for you anymore? Have you considered substance abuse? Energy drinks? Vapes? Liquor? Hard fucking drugs? Do you feel better now? Do you feel anything now? Just the will to die? Okay! Be sure to recommend us to your friends

I see a lot in social media that people say that autistic people usually have more success having friendships with other autistic people or neurodivergent people in general.

But in my case I don't relate with this at all, i mean, is easier, but is still hard as fuck to me, and I don't know if this is because social media is bs or because i have aspd too, so... i would appreciate some opinions on this

[sonicspeeddemon]

Realizing you realize on social media you can just block anyone who makes you uncomfortable for any reason and you’re not a bad person for doing so

[cat-eye-nebula]

Porn addiction is a trap to get away from one's own emotional pain - usually repressed emotional pain from unprocessed childhood trauma. Porn is used as distraction and coping strategy. This way one dismisses self reflection and self-understanding - but these things are vital for personal growth and emotional maturity.

[desiretoadore]

Never forget that you are allowed to block people!! It’s not just for worst case scenarios, if something someone is doing is upsetting you in any way, it’s okay to block them! You don’t have to feel bad or guilty about it either, it’s a feature for a reason. You should curate the social media experience that is best for you and your mental health!

A THREAD FOR THOSE WHO FEEL ALONE 🙏🏾💕

[nerdby]

I've realized that a lot of my problems are the result of my social media addiction and agoraphobia. Social media is preventing me from recovering from my agoraphobia, and......It's ruining my life to put it gently. So today I uninstalled FB and have started reading about the NoSurf movement on Reddit. NoSurf is a digital detoxing community for people who struggle with internet or social media addiction.

And, yes, I realize that both posting this and being active on Reddit are counterintuitive to my goal. I'm posting this because I know there are other people with similar struggles here on Tumblr. Like I saw a post encouraging people not to feel bad for not reading as much as they used to be able to. People kept making all kinds of excuses about why they weren't able to read as much, but it seemed like it hadn't occurred to any of them that the real problem might be that they were on Tumblr instead of reading a book.

I've also seen more and more studies cropping up about how social media has negative effects on our mental health. And.....I'm tired of going backwards. I need to move forwards because I'm not happy right now, and it's made me make horrible mistakes. So I'm gonna hedge my time on social media.

And if you're unhappy because you'd rather be reading more or spending more time with your family or friends then I suggest you do the same.
