There is just too much going on - Layoffs, Economic recession, war, natural disasters. Yeah Reels is mostly cringe, but if someone wants to destress watching em, what is the issue. Just hate this virtue signaling.

Bastard wants people not to view the reels but is fine wanting people to code the app where the reel is uploaded.. pRoduCtivitY

Define irony-People cursing how Social Media is a waste on Social Media to increase their reach on Social Media

This is Gaslighting of highest order. 
 Dude is wasting time typing these kind of shit.  
 And irritating the fuck out of people who want to destress, cause another economic epidemic on LinkedIn. 
 I think this waste is lot more than people people who have worked whole day and just want to relax.

Like Neha Dhupia would say, It's their choice.  Why is this a linkedin content?

I don’t need one more platform to watch reels 🤬

Should I start prepping dance in formal clothes?

This is worse addiction than smoking, drinking. 

Haven't watched any short/reels for 5 days straight feeling like a void inside. 

But its better, Watching reels/shorts would give a feeling of satisfaction because of the dopamine release.
So seeking other experiences for that dopamine hit. Life is getting better.

Reels, Shorts Addiction

Exactly the reason I deactivated Instagram. It's been a year now. Don't even feel the need to ever go back.

How much time you want to be wasted. Yes

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. 

I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. 

No, its not the content
No, its not the genre
No, its not the actors
No, its not the taste either

This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho.

Nothing excites me (yep nothing)
Nothing amuses me 
Nothing feels lively

I have no clue where my life is headed

I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness.

I am performing pretty well with my career.
Even got a double digit hike.
But didnt feel that kick of joy.

Have I approached a dead end?

Losing Interest In New Things

Just curious to understand others perspectives.

It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Simple Shirley, Uninstall 
  
 If required, login from web only 
  
 I've set timers for 19 apps in my phone by digital wellbeing 🤷 
 It'll help in long run

Millennial and Gen Z face mood swings due to multiple reasons. 

Generally I do below stuffs...

1. Listen to music or watch fav movies 🍿
2. Read a book 📖
3. Swimming or Gym or a sprint run. 
4. Biking at 20kmph and 80kmph also, both have separate zones.
5. Talk to parents or close friends.
6. Sleep
7. Sunsets or birdwatching

Attaching a snap of sunset from my today's bike trip, covered 130km in 2h. It feels so rejuvenating.

Watching reels/shorts is the last option.

What's your method for refreshment?

What do you do to stabilize amidst mood swing!

I watched "Life in a Metro" movie recently.
There's a scene where Konkona describes what she expects in her perfect would be husband. 

Movie clip(in Hindi) - https://youtu.be/wpg5AfnMkz8?feature=shared

Translation - 
Irrfan says - My friend bought a car 5yrs back but he hasn't driven it as he says only when all traffic lights in city turn green will he take it out.

Konkona says - Well your friend is stupid. If you don't take out the vehicle how will you even know if light is green or not?

Irrfan replies - Exactly! Take your chances, baby!

Continuing on my last perfectionism post, stop waiting for the right moment, the right anything hoping it would come someday. Hoping that you would find your knight in shining armor outside your house.

If you don't actively seek opportunities, if you don't take chances on people, opportunities, moments how will you know?

YOLO, take matters into your own hands and better make it count!

Take your chance, people!

What are method do you use to reduce the stress after stressful day?

Stress relief

I couldn't concentrate for my placement preparation. Whenever I sit for studies, after 1hour session, then I go for a 15min break for second 1hr session. But that 15min break becomes 45min Or 60min break b'coz I get to watch YouTube(I don't use any other social media). & then I lost the motivation to sit for studies. 
I'm trying different apps to limit phone(primarily YouTube usage, but nothings working. 
Please suggest some solution guys. I need your precious guidance.

Every post I see in here from folks asking for fundamental life advice  - 

should I wait to change a job
should I start something new, 
should I end my relationship, 
should I move to Bangalore,
....

I am reminded of this fantastic article Seth Godin article he wrote in 2018.
