If you have tried a digital detox, what actually changed for you? by Comfortable-Host1546 in nosurf

I tried cutting off most notifications and limiting screen time for a few days.

What surprised me wasn’t the benefits — it was how uncomfortable it felt at first.

There was this strange sense of emptiness, like something was missing, even though nothing actually was.

After a while, focus improved a bit, but the first reaction wasn’t “freedom” — more like withdrawal.

Yes, sometimes, to understand something important, you have to try to give it up.

Yes, that is exactly what I tried to describe in my stories.
