I'd like to say that's I've grew up without social media until I was 16. Extremely outdoorsy. Power went out for three days no problem. I've went camping with no phone, no problem. I honestly throught it would be a breeze. (I've seen one of my ex's have a panic attack over no having wifi for two days) I thought I was so much better than that. But I guess not lmao

The fact that I'm consciously not picking up my phone, I've gotten a flip phone, and I try not to touch it and focus on hobbies.it is so difficult. I had a huge ego around tech, that I wasn't addicted but bro I'm almost itching to scroll, to comment on something that doesn't matter. I'm really frustrated that I keep picking up my phone for nothing!

I'm only a week and a half in of no smart phone, and It feels like insanity. I've finished reading a bunch of books but a lot of my hobbies feel out of reach and boring. I find I'm more bitchy. Literally. I'm into work drama all of a sudden and nit picking my own relationships out of sheer boredom. I'm constantly apologizing for my behavior.

My brain is screaming for dopamine! It's miserable, I'm miserable. I know it only gets better but holy crap

Hi I'm looking to make a new account to limit doomscrolling, I would love some barely active, maybe a bit weird niche subreddits.

Best example is the subreddit that posts photos of trees that are oddly in line and look to be a korok puzzle from tears of the kingdom, or mildly Evangelion. I also like nature stuff so foraging or crafts or maybe educational

Literally just boring subs.

So I got my flip phone and I plan on locking my smartphone up tomorrow.

My flip phone has messaging for Snapchat and discord, and I was thinking about keeping Reddit as I've average around 20 minutes a day on it while following more than 60 subreddits.

I wanted suggestions on subreddits that I could follow with a new account to slowly ween myself off of social media. Iwas thinking hobby related subs like penpals, recipes, baking, foraging, etc

I would love suggestions on niche, slow, maybe slightly boring, and minimal posting (but not dead) subreddits that I could join 🙏🏻
