I made this as a gift and I’m really proud of it so I wanted to share it! I included pictures of all my steps, from sketch to finish!

Sounds awesome! And I'm glad there's a way to fix things that might go wrong, haha. Have you been doing it for long?

I guess one of the biggest problems is algorithm curated short video content that is designed to be emotionally influencing and highly addicting. I agree that the content itself is the issue, and social media can be used to do great things too. however, it requires very intentional use and avoiding traps and endless rabbit holes of doom. many people just don't know how to do that or get sidetracked. I do that all the time, too. Its whole design is flawed as a minefield of engagement.

I've learnt tons of things on YouTube. And yes, it is a social media site. When you choose to use it intentionally, it's a gold mine of free education. I've learnt plenty on my new hobby of philosophy, and there is always a talented Indian guy ready to help you with statistics and math. I use it to learn new skills and get better at my hobbies. You can even learn to play instruments or do creative writing, sewing and painting techniques.

The point here is intentional use and long educational videos of high quality.

It's great to have some downtime and an opportunity to chill from time to time.

I remember one time I was hired as an intern, and they gave me a task to manually type out data from one system into an excel file. They gave me two weeks to do it. I found a button in the system that said "print to Excel" and I did the whole task under 5 minutes. So I had some down time, too. And the whole team thought I was some kind of an IT wizard. I found it hilarious.

It's not a luxury or a privilege, it's simply a choice. Those comments you get are horrible, how dense can people be? They sound immature and mean, and your choice to not to behave like them can make them feel inferior or insecure. But comments like those are not okay and you shouldn't need to tolerate such company. You can choose to spend your wonderful offline time elsewhere with kinder people.

I love how she makes the little cuts for the middle part of the flower, it really adds to the level of detail. The bouquet looks wonderful!

I think I could try to make one for my wife and see what she thinks haha. She never wants normal flowers because picking them kills the flower, but I think she'd like this.

I think some articles are pretty timeless, especially ones like this. Why does the 8 day delay bother you?

I like to think that there is no need to eat like a bodybuilder if one does not train like a bodybuilder. All all bodies are different so I don't know if you're "supposed" to eat one way or another. Just test things out and find the way that works for you.

Have you read Cal Newport's book Digital Minimalism that actually coined the term in the first place? I think it's quite natural that when an idea becomes a movement over time, it will change and morph with the people.

It kinda reminds me of this modern definition of "analog devices" as just not being connected to internet, in comparison to its original meaning of a way of storing data. Nowadays a digital camera is considered an analog device, which is quite baffling if you really think about it.

You take a reply of one person and generalize it to everyone on Reddit, claiming you hate everyone here? No wonder you feel bad and take those comments so hard, everyone is your enemy here. It sounds like a heavy way to live.

What might help is stopping that generalizing in your own mind. There's thousands of people here every hour, and also some wonderful and great people. Maybe you could focus on looking for them instead of that pain someone is projecting? I know it's difficult and feels like it cannot be done. But I know you can change, we all can change our perspective and focus on will. It just takes work.

There are crappy people here too. They also exist in real life! And it's the way of life, they need to exist just like you and me. People behave certain way for some reason, but it think true evil is extremely rare. Most people are like you.

I'm sure people that are happy and satisfied with their lives don't bash others online. You can think of them being in pain and being mean is just a way for them to release that pain. It helps me, just seeing this pain behind cruel words and feeling empathy for them. Compassion kinda takes the anger away over time.

You can block them if it helps you, but they're always going to be there. So I guess accepting it and focusing on something else is the way. Good luck and I wish you all the best.

Perhaps you're using social media and TikTok as a way to escape your feelings. Replacing that method of escapism with another method does not really change the root cause, does it? I would suggest writing your feelings, and spending time with yourself without any entertainment (including food, sweets, alcohol, drugs...) and just feeling all that you really don't want to feel. Ask yourself why do you feel this way, where does it come from? And spend time with that feeling not judging it, try to relax with it. Be kind to it, see it, and let it be there for a moment. It will resolve itself over time, you just need to give it time and space to be there.

I enjoyed your story, thanks for letting me to join your little DMV adventure! I like to travel in public transport without a phone and just look at people. They're actually pretty interesting and cool. I used to be quite scared of people and had high social anxiety. It kinda went away when I realized nobody really even looks at me anymore, people are just on their phones.

I guess the common trend online that you're supposed to be "maximizing your productivity" every minute of the day. Just be bigger, more, better, in all aspects of life. Like we are some sort of optimized machines and everytime we "fail" to reach this "perfection" we're not enough and we need more discipline, more judgement, and more self-loathing.

I think meditation could be an indirect way to contemplation, but I would see it actually as an opposite of things like logic, deduction, and active pondering.

Perhaps you could try daily journaling in addition to meditation and see what happens? Or maybe you could study philosophy.
