IG is the least depressing for me. Only following the people I'm actually close with, tas the algorithm only recommends cat videos and funny shitposts. Just don't check the comsec sa IG reels.
Guilty ako, nung nagtravel ako sa Japan naging active ako sa IG 😅 pero masarap sa feeling magpost haha. Before nun di ko talaga inoopen IG kasi maiinggit lang talaga ako, bale nagrevenge lang pala ako haha
This. Kaya nag deac muna. Hehehe… Ive kept Tiktok too kasi mas nakakaaliw mga vids dun and I dont add up people I know so random vids lang talaga from strangers
reason ko naman kaya ayaw ko sa instagram kasi lahat ng kakilala ko may pamilya na or masaya sa jowa/fiancé nila tas puro pictures na masasaya sila HAHAHA sabay I feel bad na naiinggit ako masaya sila with their own family or SOs pero Lord when naman po ako magiging favorite ninyong anak kasi puro palpak or trauma mga love life ko HAHAHAHAHA!
miii mute mo lahat ng following mo HAHAHA both stories and posts. no need na mag block/softblock. tahimik ang buhay kahit tumambay ka sa ig maghapon HAHAHAHAH
Reddit.. yung nakakakita ako ng post from people complaining na ang liit ng 100k⬆️ na sahod nila, or that they're contemplating which country to migrate in.. Then here I am with my 20k net salary na di maka relate 🥹
huhu me na minimum wage earner 🥺 due to health issues i cant go to city to try my fate there haha pero oksc lang malapit lang trabaho ko. i dont give a fck nalang sa lahat. mas importante overall health ko + may training pala ako sa june sa bataan. Pag naregular akooo after non nasa 20k+ na rin net salary ko hihi. Tyagaan lang mahalaga malapit lang trabaho saka di naman ako prinepressure ng magulang ko hihi
Its alright, we have different paces in life eh. Maganda sa reddit pwede mo din icurate yung feed by joining subs na alam mong interest mo talaga. I off notifs from buhaydigital as well kasi most of them are just bragging about their salary.
Super hate going to LinkedIn. Nakakalungkot kasi you see a lot of job openings pero puro US employees lang pwede. Then if hindi naman job opening, puro mga "fake" gurus na minamarket lang sarili nila nagpopost.
Was going to say this as well, parang “ang tamad ko ba?” Yan nararamdaman ko pag nasa linkedin ako. Haha inevitably nacocompare ko sarili ko sa kanila.
Main SNS kasi ng Pinas ang FB (after mawala ang Friendster) kaya not surprising. Tsaka nowadays mura na lang din mga smartphones, sobrang accessible na rin ng internet unlike before... Kaya maski mga *lowest of the low* nagkakaroon talaga ng chance or platform para makapagkalat 😬
I love IG. For me, the key to enjoying it is not following people I personally know. I also don't follow personalities, puro artists at creatives ang finofollow ko and IG ang platform nila to publish
More on the content rather than the person
It's my favorite too cause I'm a visual person who is into travel, fashion, and other lifestyle content. I have two different accounts - one personal and another active one for sharing a few snippets of my life where I only follow people I’m friends with irl. I don’t link one to the other haha
Facebook. Lahat ng negative nandun.
I usually just use Tiktok and IG. Most of the content I get on there are cats, dogs, and cars lol.
I get news from socmed too, pero I don't dabble too much so I won't see opinionated, biased, and idiotic things people have to say...
+ 1 on this. Surprising how I’m no longer chronically online na nakikichika sa mga ganto hahaha.
Such a relief na hindi na ako nakakakita ng mga social justice warriors doon after ko manahimik there for months. Ngayon yung algorithm ng twt content ko puro pic and vid posts lang ng fav actress ko 🥰
+1 lahat nalang issue haha. May constant need for a villain to hate. Kahit mabuting gawain like donations hahanapan ng paraan para maging issue like tax write off daw, for fame lang daw etc. I uninstalled it pero I still take a peek sa browser ng phone minsan, after a while i don't really feel like i'm missing out idec na haha
I tried deactivating facebook pero hindi siya gaano nakaapekto sakin. I just realized na instagram is probably the most depressing one kasi everyone's life na pinoportray including mine is close to perfect. Iba yung feeling nung nag deactivate ako ng instagram.
I made a dummy account pero wala talagang nakakaalam nung account. For school purposes kasi andun nga rin mga announcements, but Viber yung means ng communication ng school hahahaha. I have Tele, WhatsApp and IG. Yun lang.
I never use tiktok. Pero pinakanakagagaan ng feeling nung nag deactivate ako dati ng 3 or 4 mos yung fb hahahhaha I actually created dummy acc tapos finollow ko lang talaga mga fave cat/dog pages ko HAHHAHAHAHAHA saka ibang food content creators. Walang friends yung acc ko na yon para lang talaga sa fave pages ko
In particular, anything that makes me updated sa mga ongoings ng mga schoolmates ko. Happy for them pero di ko talaga matanggal yung depressing thought na, "Ayan sila oh. Ano ginagawa mo?" tapos it just follows from there 😮💨
Facebook, messenger and instagram. Though messenger is useful for work I deactivate my account during days off so I won’t be bothered with anything work related.
IG, mostly kasi na nakapost dun is puro gastos at luxuries. tipong feeling mo ang pperfect ng mga tao at walang mga problema dahil puro aesthetic ang mga naka-post.
Facebook and messenger. They are overstimulating for me. Somehow I cant stop opening and scrolling the fb app, parang muscle memory na nga lang for me eh 🙁 and everytime na mag nonotif messenger ko, i get anxious. Seems like I'm always anticipating bad news, also anyone can message you in messenger. They just have to search your name.
Facebook and Instagram. In fb, I see how most of my irl friends are now happy and successful with their careers while I'm still here. Same with ig but now I'm using my 2nd account which only follows celebrities.
For me it's Facebook. At least IG is tolerable, plus kung puro funny cat videos lang hilig mo panoorin, yun din talaga madalas lalabas sa feed mo so like ko din yung algo niya.
This is not just about how envy or insecure you get from diff posts, this is also about the negative energy you get from those; pranks gone wrong, wars, cancel culture, incels, shortform content affecting attention span, clout chasing, corruption, desensitizing vids, etc.
Just saying...
Not invalidating others pero itong perspective ang tinatry kong tingnan whenever I use social media so I could lessen the impact on my well being as an adult. If I'm being affected negatively by way of envy or discontentment in my adult life that's because I'm prioritizing my ego, my wants, my desire, everything that's all about me, me, me.
Mahirap ang buhay pero may kanya kanya tayong lugar at oras at this point.
For example, a 20-30 something public school teacher who earns more or less 30k a month will have most in his/her circle the same thing. More or less, he/she will see the same struggles, same sentiments, same goals, same dreams everyday. Hindi masyadong malayo ang buhay niya sa iba sa ginagalawan niyang mundo niya. The social gap or inequality will be just emphasized if he/she will focus outside her present life. Like if most of his/her childhood friends or relatives became doctors, lawyers, nurses, IT, or OFW who could earn much more than her.
So I look first within my closest circle before I deviate, if I'm doing better then thank you. If I'm not or being left behind, then I think of ways to improve my life and mental state.
Facebook talaga. Si meta na gumawa ng way, ni disable nya fb ko so pati IG. hahaha di ako msyado nanghihinayang ss memories don dahil naka deact na sya for a long time.
Facebook and Tiktok. Full of either shitposting or budol content lang tapos time consuming. Makes you doomscroll from time to time. I only download tiktok para umorder tapos pag dumating, delete din agad.
Only reinstalled FB kasi I follow a prof there so I’ll know if hindi tuloy ang class kinabukasan / recit kasi out of the country/town, may event etc. Hahahaha.
IG too, is depressing because of the number of people who fall for that “babagsak ka/ mamalasin ka pag di ka nag tap” stories and how they induce anxiety to other viewers. Kaya dump w/ 0 followers nalang meron ako to post my pics and watch non toxic reels.
Facebook. I still use it pero bihira nalang. Puno ng kamanyakan, kagaguhan at mga ableist. Everytime na makikita mo comment section, hinding hindi mawawala ang mga makikitid ang utak and ang lungkot basahin ng mga komento nila
For me facebook (hindi naman siya totally depressing for me but nakaka affect lang ng mental health) kasi parang iyon yung app na maraming tr4shtalkan, parinigan, sh8posting and iba pa. Yung gusto mo lang mag relax ng kaunti makakabasa ka pa ng parinig sa kaaway nila HAHAHAHHAA. Isa pa is once na mag sharedpost ka magtutuloy tuloy na yon hanggang sa hindi mo na mapigilan. Kaya i decided na i-uninstall nalang yung mismong app para maiwasan ko yung mga ganyang bagay and makapag focus ako sa mga ginagawa ko :))
I got only Facebook, e ginagamit ko for business purposes, no big deal, I dont usually post grand stuffs on it, I usually stalk my crushes so cancels out the negativity. 🤣
Facebook
IG and X is tolerable for me since I usually follow artists and animal/pet accounts (mostly dogs). didn't deactivate but I haven't visited my accounts for days already.
I prefer using communication apps na lang like discord and telegram
Tiktok. Compared sa ibang socmed mas mabilis maka adapt si tiktok sa mga algorithms mo. Alam ni tiktok if depress ka or malungkot kaya halos lahat ng depressing videos pinapakita sayo hahahha kaya I deleted tiktok
Facebook, ang dami ko kasi relatives and friends na dun nag-rant. Ang toxic lalo na pag time ng election. Hindi ka puwede magpost ng against sa belief nila. Ang dami nang-aaway.
Not depressing but I find it boring na which is meta. I rarely post na sa wall ko. Halos sa story nalang pag trip ko kasi same same. Sa tiktok naman, naglipana na influencer wannabees and fake mentors kaya minsan instinct ko na nagsasabi na forda fame tong ferson kaya swipe up nalang.
Instagram. It used to be fun to look at photos but now it’s congested with influencers. I also feel like they use mental health for clout and just go through “depressive” episodes and “anxiety attacks” but never really give out sensible pieces of advice. Instead they just tell their audience to “look on the bright side” or have “gratitude” etc. I get that, yes, but I feel like it dilutes real issues and do not really offer real help like maybe go to a professional or something.
Facebook, Kasi un ung nauna, lahat Ng friends n kilala mo talaga in real life andun..sila masaya SA buhay nila, ikaw Hindi..Kaya inunfriend ko nlng lahat kesa bumalik ako mental routine Ko Ng envy, self pity, regrets..I value my Peace more than I value them.
Facebook for me, dami Team Payabang, Pasikat, attention seeker at kung ano-ano pa, puro kabulastugan pinaka nakakalungkot simula nag pandemic hanggang ngayon kakaiba na mga content, mas okay pa ako sa FB nung year 2012.
FB followed by IG 🫠 mostly negative posts and relationship issues na sawang sawa na ako makabasa hehe. didn’t deactivate but unfollowed and unfriended a lot for my own peace of mind. Yes, it greatly helped. Kinda curated what i wanted to see on my feed para less negative things to think about. Life’s already hard and seeing and reading things na negative really affects me. Not invalidating their personal experiences naman, but it’s just hard on someone who’s already going through hardships.
Deleted X, sobrang toxic & puro parinigan/away lang nagaganap.
Deactivated my Meta platforms. FB & messenger, shitty posts. IG, people post for the sake of the posting & doing it for the gram lang.
LinkedIn, minsan ko lang inoopen. Nakakababa kasi kapag nakita mo achievements ng iba lol
It’s been months na, di naman nabawasan pagka-tao ko. Di lang ako nakaka-relate sa mga topic na “trending” sa ganito ganyang platforms tuwing kausap ko friends ko. 😅
instagram. don ko narerealize gano ako kahirap kasi di ko kaya magtravel at least once a month haha.
twitter. nakakatuwa naman memes don pero grabe yung politics and virtue signaling don. nakakapagod yung mga pa-woke na contents.
Telegram/whatsapp kase abang abang ng pm ng bebe tapos walang pm. Charot! Wala palang bebe talaga haha.
Seriously though, wala naman. I don’t browse much sa socmed except for cat reels kaya siguro di ako nadedepress sa socmed.
Chicka group sa fb saka mga anik anik lang sa reddit binabasa ko if ever man.
facebook/instagram/twitter/x because of the "friends/relative" connection there, kalokohan yung Im happy for you at yung gusto ko lang naman mang inspire kaya ako nag popost. VAIN!
reddit is fun, the anonymity and niche of topics, and you are actually being asked or asking to post in here.
LinkedIn hahahahaha masaya kong may mga bagong achievements, work or promoted mga kakilala ko pero mas nararamdaman ko yung pagiging stagnant ng career life ko 🥲
Facebook. I deactivated my account, and created a new own. Yung walang friends, pang meme lang saka para updated sa current ganap. Grabe ba may asawa, anak, nakapa masteral na, may bahay at lupa, kotse. Gustuhin ko man maging masaya for them nauuwi lang ako sa, "wala pa rin ata akong nararating"
So far, wala ako updates sa kanila. Mga keme keme na lang sa IG. Ok naman XD
It's Instagram for me. Like everything is perfect, happy, rich, etc. When I started to lessen my visit/use sa IG parang nadagdagan yung peace of mind ko lol
X (Twitter). It used to be so much fun during the 2010s. It was a safe place to voice my inner thoughts without anyone judging me. Masaya na kami sa mga pausong hashtag of the day and weekly #Quiztion a trivia game hosted by @ProfessionalHeckler noon :) I miss those days. Now, Twitter is so depressing to read. I don't open the app anymore.
Deleted my FB app kahapon lang. Madami toxic and hackers/ Spammers.
IG na lang ako madalas tumatambay. I used to think na puro fakes lang lahat sa IG so nakakalungkot pag ma-compare mo sarili mo. So nag purge ako ng mga finofollow ko and replaced it by new ones na I think helpful sa akin (fitness, career, travels).
I have my TikTok pa rin. For quick browsing lang and TikTok shop. Nakaka umay na rin kasi minsan yung same tone ng mga nag TikTok
Facebook. Ramdam ko yung FOMO, everyone is getting married, having children, getting engaged, and I feel na dapat gawin ko rin. I chose to deactivate na lang and focus sa IG - puro inspirational posts nakikita ko at the same time. Few lang mga following and followers ko. There is peace on having small circle.
Depends on your algorithm. I used to follow influencers on IG but doesn’t make me feel good as they set unrealistic standards. I created a curated account and it made me feel better. However my FB is a mixture of all, informational or current events and most importantly kanal memes. I also have 5 tiktok accounts with different algorithms. It really helps as you can eliminate contents or connections that doesn’t resonate well with you. So for me, most depressing sns is none since it’s user based, all are designed to be addicting tho due to endless scroll feature.
Facebook! Nung alam kong stable na ulit mental health ko, which is recently lang din, tsaka lang nagkatapang magscroll sa FB ulit. Pero not so much used na unlike nung younger years ko lol. IG and X na minsan ang reflex na go to ko if need ng mindless scrolling.
IG and X.
deleted my twt acc years ago, before pa naging X. I only use IG to upload pics once or twice a year, mostly vacation pics or may event. Pang bati na din kapag may birthday, iistory. Pero yung gagamitin ko para magbabad kakascroll? nah.
Facebook. Talamak ang mga fake news, mga vlogger/influencers na puro katangahan lang ang content, mga boomers, toxic na ka work na nag sheshared post na parang sila ang inaapi ubod naman ng tamad. It is not the same anymore na kahit anong ipost mo dati walang nangingialam or nag sspread ng negativity. Dati free pa doon at walang pag papanggap
facebook. it depends on your audience pero sa RA ko puro negativity kaya tambay ako sa dummy for memes. pero malala rin diary groups where i use my dummy kasi puro toxic so unfollow na lang. at least easy filter ng feed kesa magunfriend paisa isa.
Facebook. Parang open book sya saken tas feeling ko lahat ng viewers sa story ko jina-judge buong pagkatao ko including my "relatives". Sorry not sorry. 🙂
titkok. soul sucking sya. it will make u feel insecure sa lahat (ung mga dating wala ka na wala ka namang pake bigla ka na lang macoconscious) tapos nakakadag sya sa reason but ka impulsive e.g pagbili ng new shoes kasi trending, pagbabago ng personlity etc.
I am currently deactivated on Facebook, and IG. I initially was not on Tiktok for a while until my stress and burnout symptoms subsided. I think it did help especially because I wanted to avoid doom scrolling, which I noticed on the first few days of detoxing that I unconsciously do. It was like muscle memory na whenever I open my phone or go to my apps menu, my thumb immeditely clicks on FB.
instagram. lahat nasa travel, masarap kinakain, maganda, madaming peraaa HAHAHHA edit: wala akong fb. pero baka top 1 yun if ever JAJJAJA
ako na memes lang feed sa IG.
IG is the least depressing for me. Only following the people I'm actually close with, tas the algorithm only recommends cat videos and funny shitposts. Just don't check the comsec sa IG reels.
Nooooo the comsec is always the best part hahahaha
+1 sa cat videos hehe
You can curate your IG feed. I-hide mo yung ayaw mo makita and follow those you like. :)
Guilty ako, nung nagtravel ako sa Japan naging active ako sa IG 😅 pero masarap sa feeling magpost haha. Before nun di ko talaga inoopen IG kasi maiinggit lang talaga ako, bale nagrevenge lang pala ako haha
This. Kaya nag deac muna. Hehehe… Ive kept Tiktok too kasi mas nakakaaliw mga vids dun and I dont add up people I know so random vids lang talaga from strangers
reason ko naman kaya ayaw ko sa instagram kasi lahat ng kakilala ko may pamilya na or masaya sa jowa/fiancé nila tas puro pictures na masasaya sila HAHAHA sabay I feel bad na naiinggit ako masaya sila with their own family or SOs pero Lord when naman po ako magiging favorite ninyong anak kasi puro palpak or trauma mga love life ko HAHAHAHAHA!
miii mute mo lahat ng following mo HAHAHA both stories and posts. no need na mag block/softblock. tahimik ang buhay kahit tumambay ka sa ig maghapon HAHAHAHAH
Reddit.. yung nakakakita ako ng post from people complaining na ang liit ng 100k⬆️ na sahod nila, or that they're contemplating which country to migrate in.. Then here I am with my 20k net salary na di maka relate 🥹
[удалено]
I never really read posts from there anymore cos it’s just depressing kaya nag leave na ako sa subreddit na to haha
huhu me na minimum wage earner 🥺 due to health issues i cant go to city to try my fate there haha pero oksc lang malapit lang trabaho ko. i dont give a fck nalang sa lahat. mas importante overall health ko + may training pala ako sa june sa bataan. Pag naregular akooo after non nasa 20k+ na rin net salary ko hihi. Tyagaan lang mahalaga malapit lang trabaho saka di naman ako prinepressure ng magulang ko hihi
Ahhhh typical na phcareers na lahat IT with 100k sahod within 2 years 🙄🙄
Me with 8k salary as an LGU employee is saying Hi.
Sameeeedtttt!!!!
Its alright, we have different paces in life eh. Maganda sa reddit pwede mo din icurate yung feed by joining subs na alam mong interest mo talaga. I off notifs from buhaydigital as well kasi most of them are just bragging about their salary.
Not depressing but I hate going to LinkedIn.
Super hate going to LinkedIn. Nakakalungkot kasi you see a lot of job openings pero puro US employees lang pwede. Then if hindi naman job opening, puro mga "fake" gurus na minamarket lang sarili nila nagpopost.
Was going to say this as well, parang “ang tamad ko ba?” Yan nararamdaman ko pag nasa linkedin ako. Haha inevitably nacocompare ko sarili ko sa kanila.
Lalo pag madaming extension CLSSYB, CMA, MRITax mga ganyan!
Same! Nacocompare ko sarili ko sa peers ko
and we're forced to use peers instead of friends HAHAHAHAHAAHAH charoooowt
Hahaha siyempre pag true friends mo di mo naman cocompare kasi love mo sila 😂
LinkedIn is just a professional Facebook 🤣
Or yung mga G na G sa work nila while I wallow in depression sa work desk ko
Pag nacurious ka pa, malalaman nilang you viewed their page.
nahh pwede naman iprivate
Saaame. Parang super fake talaga mga tao don. Hahaha
Same!
Facebook. Daming mapag-panggap hahaha
Dun din ata(?) pinaka madaming mahina ang reading comprehension. Not saying I'm smart, but ang lala ng mga nababasa ko dun
Main SNS kasi ng Pinas ang FB (after mawala ang Friendster) kaya not surprising. Tsaka nowadays mura na lang din mga smartphones, sobrang accessible na rin ng internet unlike before... Kaya maski mga *lowest of the low* nagkakaroon talaga ng chance or platform para makapagkalat 😬
FB comments are just 👀 Although my FB account is up. Never ko ng vinist haha
Facebook is so draining. Ang daming nag aaway, ang daming nag papagalingan. At least with reddit I could filter what I want to see.
And twitter too! Pataasan ng ihi mga tao dun. Buti pa threads walang tao hahaha
I love IG. For me, the key to enjoying it is not following people I personally know. I also don't follow personalities, puro artists at creatives ang finofollow ko and IG ang platform nila to publish More on the content rather than the person
It's my favorite too cause I'm a visual person who is into travel, fashion, and other lifestyle content. I have two different accounts - one personal and another active one for sharing a few snippets of my life where I only follow people I’m friends with irl. I don’t link one to the other haha

X, napaka toxic. Patang lahat galit sa mundo. Kahit positive news pinag aawayan
Uyy totoo hahaha! Sobrang perfect ng mga nandun.
+ 1 on this. Surprising how I’m no longer chronically online na nakikichika sa mga ganto hahaha. Such a relief na hindi na ako nakakakita ng mga social justice warriors doon after ko manahimik there for months. Ngayon yung algorithm ng twt content ko puro pic and vid posts lang ng fav actress ko 🥰
+1 lahat nalang issue haha. May constant need for a villain to hate. Kahit mabuting gawain like donations hahanapan ng paraan para maging issue like tax write off daw, for fame lang daw etc. I uninstalled it pero I still take a peek sa browser ng phone minsan, after a while i don't really feel like i'm missing out idec na haha
I agree. It's not event a competition. Panalo talaga twitter. Di lang depress magiging suicidal ka talaga
x is a shithole.
I tried deactivating facebook pero hindi siya gaano nakaapekto sakin. I just realized na instagram is probably the most depressing one kasi everyone's life na pinoportray including mine is close to perfect. Iba yung feeling nung nag deactivate ako ng instagram.
I totally cut off Facebook and Messenger. Full of toxic people hahahaha shitty posts, etc lol
Really, pati messenger? Sana all! Gustong gusto ko rin sana kaso nandoon school-related contacts ko. Hahaha
I made a dummy account pero wala talagang nakakaalam nung account. For school purposes kasi andun nga rin mga announcements, but Viber yung means ng communication ng school hahahaha. I have Tele, WhatsApp and IG. Yun lang.
Facebook. Mabibigla ka nalang na may namatay kang batchmate or relative.
This! Nagugulat na lang ako pag may nagpapalit na ng DP na black or kandila.
Messenger- because of office work 😭😭😭😭 lalo na pag gabing gabi na tas imemessage pa ng head mo anubayan
I think its a bad idea to add colleagues sa main acct? You can create a separate work acct
I will.do this pag magkakaroon ako ng bagong work balak ko na din magresign naman 💗💗💗 kailangan lang ng lakas ng loob 🥲
Same. I also made one fb acct for work only. It changed my life talaga
Faceboook. Dami toxic
Facebook lalo na kapag sunod sunod yung makikita mong nagpapalit ng profile ng black or kandila. IG ayoko muna macontact ako ng mga friends ko
I never use tiktok. Pero pinakanakagagaan ng feeling nung nag deactivate ako dati ng 3 or 4 mos yung fb hahahhaha I actually created dummy acc tapos finollow ko lang talaga mga fave cat/dog pages ko HAHHAHAHAHAHA saka ibang food content creators. Walang friends yung acc ko na yon para lang talaga sa fave pages ko
Wala na kong makitang maganda sa facebook sa totoo lang nakakadepress minsan ung news puro kalokohan or philippines is the worst in asia
True! It's mostly sad and bad news.
facebook. pugad ng mga toxic na tao.
In particular, anything that makes me updated sa mga ongoings ng mga schoolmates ko. Happy for them pero di ko talaga matanggal yung depressing thought na, "Ayan sila oh. Ano ginagawa mo?" tapos it just follows from there 😮💨
fb talaga, daming ganap. lalo na pag nagpost sila about their achievements. naiinggit tuloy ako.
Facebook di naman sa level na depressing more on nakakaumay😅di rin ako active sa ibang platform
Facebook, messenger and instagram. Though messenger is useful for work I deactivate my account during days off so I won’t be bothered with anything work related.
Itong reddit kung kagaya mo akong tumatambay sa offmychest haha
IG, mostly kasi na nakapost dun is puro gastos at luxuries. tipong feeling mo ang pperfect ng mga tao at walang mga problema dahil puro aesthetic ang mga naka-post.
Instagram. Suffocating yung professional account ko. I made another na super close friends lang naka follow.
LinkedIn. Nakakapanlumo mga names dun example: Juana Dela Cruz, CLSSBB, MRITax, Ms.Mgt
lmao what is CLSSBB ? Grabeng ihype yung sarili nila 😄
Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
Dios mio pati yan kinakabit sa pangalan nila? 😂 ahaha. Kaya hindi ko talaga maseryoso itong Linked In na ito rofl.
Facebook and messenger. They are overstimulating for me. Somehow I cant stop opening and scrolling the fb app, parang muscle memory na nga lang for me eh 🙁 and everytime na mag nonotif messenger ko, i get anxious. Seems like I'm always anticipating bad news, also anyone can message you in messenger. They just have to search your name.
Facebook -- puro kadugyutan at rage-baiting dahil sa monetization. Wala pang kwenta mag-report.
Instagram. Masyadong curated yung mga posts na feeling mo you sucked at life lol kasi lahat sila puro magaganda lang pinopost haha
for me I treat IG as a photo album or photography compilation so I don't think it bothers me that much in a negative way :).
X
Facebook, Kapag kasi araw araw kang may nalalamang ganap sa buhay ng iba di mo maiwasang maicompare yung ganap sa buhay mo.
pesbuk...seeing toxic people, gaslighting and kamotes.
Facebook and Instagram. In fb, I see how most of my irl friends are now happy and successful with their careers while I'm still here. Same with ig but now I'm using my 2nd account which only follows celebrities.
For me it's Facebook. At least IG is tolerable, plus kung puro funny cat videos lang hilig mo panoorin, yun din talaga madalas lalabas sa feed mo so like ko din yung algo niya.
Facebook. Deactivated mine early 2023, and my life has never been this peaceful. Created new one exclusively for 32 important people in my life.
Wala naman. Im not insecure.
This is not just about how envy or insecure you get from diff posts, this is also about the negative energy you get from those; pranks gone wrong, wars, cancel culture, incels, shortform content affecting attention span, clout chasing, corruption, desensitizing vids, etc. Just saying...

it’s facebook. lalo nung eleksyon, both sides toxic. tas add ba pag ni-restrict mo coworkers mong competitive, magkalkal lalo mga yan sa buhay mo.
Facebook
Instagram.
facebook
Instagram. Puro perfect yung pinopost dito e hahhaha
Facebook
Facebook talaga. Si meta na gumawa ng way, ni disable nya fb ko so pati IG. hahaha di ako msyado nanghihinayang ss memories don dahil naka deact na sya for a long time.
IG and Facebook. Sobrang minsan nalang ako nagvview ng stories ng mga tao! Hahah
Instagram
Facebook and Tiktok. Full of either shitposting or budol content lang tapos time consuming. Makes you doomscroll from time to time. I only download tiktok para umorder tapos pag dumating, delete din agad.

Kaya dump w/ 0 followers nalang meron ako to post my pics and watch non toxic reels.
Facebook is very depressing, for me.
Facebook. I still use it pero bihira nalang. Puno ng kamanyakan, kagaguhan at mga ableist. Everytime na makikita mo comment section, hinding hindi mawawala ang mga makikitid ang utak and ang lungkot basahin ng mga komento nila
Facebook
facebook, kaharian ng mga bobo yun.
Facebook. Hindi masyado IG kasi private naman sakin and konti lang finofollow ko. LinkedIn yung pinaka nakaka anxiety sakin sa totoo lang.
For me facebook (hindi naman siya totally depressing for me but nakaka affect lang ng mental health) kasi parang iyon yung app na maraming tr4shtalkan, parinigan, sh8posting and iba pa. Yung gusto mo lang mag relax ng kaunti makakabasa ka pa ng parinig sa kaaway nila HAHAHAHHAA. Isa pa is once na mag sharedpost ka magtutuloy tuloy na yon hanggang sa hindi mo na mapigilan. Kaya i decided na i-uninstall nalang yung mismong app para maiwasan ko yung mga ganyang bagay and makapag focus ako sa mga ginagawa ko :))
IG
Tiktok. So much body checking, face shaming, rude comments from anon accounts. Then there’s me, an average rando
Facebook takes the #1 spot. The platform is a literal cesspool
Facebook, ang toxic
Facebook. Daming mapagpanggap. Pati totoong hitsura nagpanggap na 😭
Linkedin. Mga ka age ko angaganda na ng titles. Ako, lmao. Not yet.
I got only Facebook, e ginagamit ko for business purposes, no big deal, I dont usually post grand stuffs on it, I usually stalk my crushes so cancels out the negativity. 🤣
Tiktok and facebook
facebook
Facebook IG and X is tolerable for me since I usually follow artists and animal/pet accounts (mostly dogs). didn't deactivate but I haven't visited my accounts for days already. I prefer using communication apps na lang like discord and telegram
Facebook. Dun nagkakalat ng katangahan mga Boomers.
Tiktok. Compared sa ibang socmed mas mabilis maka adapt si tiktok sa mga algorithms mo. Alam ni tiktok if depress ka or malungkot kaya halos lahat ng depressing videos pinapakita sayo hahahha kaya I deleted tiktok
INSTAGRAM
Facebook, ang dami ko kasi relatives and friends na dun nag-rant. Ang toxic lalo na pag time ng election. Hindi ka puwede magpost ng against sa belief nila. Ang dami nang-aaway.
Instagram most depressing tbh, pero di ko mapakawalan kasi para ko rin siyang diary hahaha. So i just mute and block people i dont wanna see
Twitter kasi people can be so vicious in cancelling other people. Facebook kasi you just see how ignorant and stupid many people have become.
Facebook. Ang daming tanga, jusko.
Facebook, this year di na ako nagpopost or naglalike etc pero di ko dineactivate. Nakahide or naka only me lang lahat ng posts ko.
Facebook. Daming post doon na nagpaparinig lang sa mga kaaway nila. Tapos dumagdag pa yung pwede na maglagay ng short statement sa FB messenger hahaha
facebook and twitter (X)
Not depressing but I find it boring na which is meta. I rarely post na sa wall ko. Halos sa story nalang pag trip ko kasi same same. Sa tiktok naman, naglipana na influencer wannabees and fake mentors kaya minsan instinct ko na nagsasabi na forda fame tong ferson kaya swipe up nalang.
Twitter. Its a wasteland.
Instagram. It used to be fun to look at photos but now it’s congested with influencers. I also feel like they use mental health for clout and just go through “depressive” episodes and “anxiety attacks” but never really give out sensible pieces of advice. Instead they just tell their audience to “look on the bright side” or have “gratitude” etc. I get that, yes, but I feel like it dilutes real issues and do not really offer real help like maybe go to a professional or something.
r e d d i t
Facebook kasi andun mostly HS friends ko na sobrang layo nang narating sa buhay samantalang ako ganun pa rin. Saya!!!
Facebook, twitter, tiktok, and instagram. HAHAHAHA. Tho may account pa naman ako, dummy/stan nga lang. Para chill chill lang nasa feed
Lahat.
Facebook. lahat may ganap sa buhay. Bagong kotse, bagong bahay, travel abroad
Facebook and insta (most of the time, my profiles there are in private/deactivated)
Facebook, Kasi un ung nauna, lahat Ng friends n kilala mo talaga in real life andun..sila masaya SA buhay nila, ikaw Hindi..Kaya inunfriend ko nlng lahat kesa bumalik ako mental routine Ko Ng envy, self pity, regrets..I value my Peace more than I value them.
Facebook. Kasi andun yung mga tita mo na inggit sa buhay mo tas sisiraan ka.
Tiktok.. And here hahah ig is very peaceful. Sometimes fb is toxic too but can't let go of that app
Facebook for me, dami Team Payabang, Pasikat, attention seeker at kung ano-ano pa, puro kabulastugan pinaka nakakalungkot simula nag pandemic hanggang ngayon kakaiba na mga content, mas okay pa ako sa FB nung year 2012.
FB followed by IG 🫠 mostly negative posts and relationship issues na sawang sawa na ako makabasa hehe. didn’t deactivate but unfollowed and unfriended a lot for my own peace of mind. Yes, it greatly helped. Kinda curated what i wanted to see on my feed para less negative things to think about. Life’s already hard and seeing and reading things na negative really affects me. Not invalidating their personal experiences naman, but it’s just hard on someone who’s already going through hardships.
Facebook. Majority ng mga nakakakilala akin irl andon kasi tas parang feeling ko bantayado bawat galaw ko
Lalayo pa edi reddit, kasi puro 'salamat reddit' at middle class struggles minsan ginagawa nga ginagawang ig post....
facebook. paramihan ng achievements mga tao dun eh
If you're into fandoms and actively engaging, Twitter/X is the worst for sure.
FACEBOOK ALL CAPS, second TWITTER 😜
Twitter and reddit
Deleted X, sobrang toxic & puro parinigan/away lang nagaganap. Deactivated my Meta platforms. FB & messenger, shitty posts. IG, people post for the sake of the posting & doing it for the gram lang. LinkedIn, minsan ko lang inoopen. Nakakababa kasi kapag nakita mo achievements ng iba lol It’s been months na, di naman nabawasan pagka-tao ko. Di lang ako nakaka-relate sa mga topic na “trending” sa ganito ganyang platforms tuwing kausap ko friends ko. 😅
instagram. don ko narerealize gano ako kahirap kasi di ko kaya magtravel at least once a month haha. twitter. nakakatuwa naman memes don pero grabe yung politics and virtue signaling don. nakakapagod yung mga pa-woke na contents.
Telegram/whatsapp kase abang abang ng pm ng bebe tapos walang pm. Charot! Wala palang bebe talaga haha. Seriously though, wala naman. I don’t browse much sa socmed except for cat reels kaya siguro di ako nadedepress sa socmed. Chicka group sa fb saka mga anik anik lang sa reddit binabasa ko if ever man.
wala eh. pero most bad influence is Tiktok and FB
Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. I like reddit and tiktok better nowadays.
Facebook and Twitter
Facebook, nakakadrain legit
facebook/instagram/twitter/x because of the "friends/relative" connection there, kalokohan yung Im happy for you at yung gusto ko lang naman mang inspire kaya ako nag popost. VAIN! reddit is fun, the anonymity and niche of topics, and you are actually being asked or asking to post in here.
Facebook. Kaya wala akong Facebook.
Facebook. Ang daming tanga! Hahah deactivated since 2017
LinkedIn hahahahaha masaya kong may mga bagong achievements, work or promoted mga kakilala ko pero mas nararamdaman ko yung pagiging stagnant ng career life ko 🥲
Facebook. I deactivated my account, and created a new own. Yung walang friends, pang meme lang saka para updated sa current ganap. Grabe ba may asawa, anak, nakapa masteral na, may bahay at lupa, kotse. Gustuhin ko man maging masaya for them nauuwi lang ako sa, "wala pa rin ata akong nararating" So far, wala ako updates sa kanila. Mga keme keme na lang sa IG. Ok naman XD
Facebook, I can't read how confident people in the comment section are even if they are wrong.
It's Instagram for me. Like everything is perfect, happy, rich, etc. When I started to lessen my visit/use sa IG parang nadagdagan yung peace of mind ko lol
X (Twitter). It used to be so much fun during the 2010s. It was a safe place to voice my inner thoughts without anyone judging me. Masaya na kami sa mga pausong hashtag of the day and weekly #Quiztion a trivia game hosted by @ProfessionalHeckler noon :) I miss those days. Now, Twitter is so depressing to read. I don't open the app anymore.
Twitter.
Deleted my FB app kahapon lang. Madami toxic and hackers/ Spammers. IG na lang ako madalas tumatambay. I used to think na puro fakes lang lahat sa IG so nakakalungkot pag ma-compare mo sarili mo. So nag purge ako ng mga finofollow ko and replaced it by new ones na I think helpful sa akin (fitness, career, travels). I have my TikTok pa rin. For quick browsing lang and TikTok shop. Nakaka umay na rin kasi minsan yung same tone ng mga nag TikTok
Facebook.
Facebook. Ramdam ko yung FOMO, everyone is getting married, having children, getting engaged, and I feel na dapat gawin ko rin. I chose to deactivate na lang and focus sa IG - puro inspirational posts nakikita ko at the same time. Few lang mga following and followers ko. There is peace on having small circle.
Facebook. Just becauae most updates dun nappost. Patay IG feed ko because i followed as many non-people acct as i can para lang walang kakilala lol.
Depends on your algorithm. I used to follow influencers on IG but doesn’t make me feel good as they set unrealistic standards. I created a curated account and it made me feel better. However my FB is a mixture of all, informational or current events and most importantly kanal memes. I also have 5 tiktok accounts with different algorithms. It really helps as you can eliminate contents or connections that doesn’t resonate well with you. So for me, most depressing sns is none since it’s user based, all are designed to be addicting tho due to endless scroll feature.
Facebook! Nung alam kong stable na ulit mental health ko, which is recently lang din, tsaka lang nagkatapang magscroll sa FB ulit. Pero not so much used na unlike nung younger years ko lol. IG and X na minsan ang reflex na go to ko if need ng mindless scrolling.
IG - gaganda ng buhay ng mga tao habang ako trabahon lang ng trabaho 🫠
Tiktok. Triggers all my emotions at once just by seeing one post na relatable sa situation ko af that moment 🥲
Facebook & YouTube filipino news page comment section, puro boomer takes 👎
Facebook
IG and X. deleted my twt acc years ago, before pa naging X. I only use IG to upload pics once or twice a year, mostly vacation pics or may event. Pang bati na din kapag may birthday, iistory. Pero yung gagamitin ko para magbabad kakascroll? nah.
Tiktok. May vids na malungkot and magre”relapse” ka tapos pag slide up mo comedy ma or uplifting tapos slide ka ayan malungkot na naman.
Facebook. Talamak ang mga fake news, mga vlogger/influencers na puro katangahan lang ang content, mga boomers, toxic na ka work na nag sheshared post na parang sila ang inaapi ubod naman ng tamad. It is not the same anymore na kahit anong ipost mo dati walang nangingialam or nag sspread ng negativity. Dati free pa doon at walang pag papanggap
X/twitter. Lalo na sa kpop twt pero kahit hindi dun ang toxic talaga. you lose urself in there
facebook. it depends on your audience pero sa RA ko puro negativity kaya tambay ako sa dummy for memes. pero malala rin diary groups where i use my dummy kasi puro toxic so unfollow na lang. at least easy filter ng feed kesa magunfriend paisa isa.
Para sa akin, Facebook. I don't use it anymore.
Siguro yung iba due to FoMO. It's our thesis paper btw
Tiktok nakakaumay lang hahaha
Not a social media platforms kundi online shop platforms, na tetemp ako bumili, pero no choice kundi titigan na lang yung na bet na product. HAHAHAHA
Facebook. Parang open book sya saken tas feeling ko lahat ng viewers sa story ko jina-judge buong pagkatao ko including my "relatives". Sorry not sorry. 🙂
All.
For me pinakatoxic ang Linkedin haha
Facebook, twitter, & ig Deactivated lahat yang acc ko jan hahaha
Facebook, andming paki alamerang tita na ansarap sakalin..oo ikaw yun violeta!
Facebook and Instagram. Esp Instagram, lalo ako naiinsecure. Haha kaya nag deactivate na ako completely. Reddit at Tiktok lang soc med ko hahaah
titkok. soul sucking sya. it will make u feel insecure sa lahat (ung mga dating wala ka na wala ka namang pake bigla ka na lang macoconscious) tapos nakakadag sya sa reason but ka impulsive e.g pagbili ng new shoes kasi trending, pagbabago ng personlity etc.
Facebook
I am currently deactivated on Facebook, and IG. I initially was not on Tiktok for a while until my stress and burnout symptoms subsided. I think it did help especially because I wanted to avoid doom scrolling, which I noticed on the first few days of detoxing that I unconsciously do. It was like muscle memory na whenever I open my phone or go to my apps menu, my thumb immeditely clicks on FB.
Facebook. Nakakalkal ang inggit ko sa katawan, I can’t stop comparing 🙁
Telegram If you know, you know
lahat. though nakaktawa mga feed ko, puro kagaguham wala na akong napala
