What Ive learnt from a Social Media Detox
[Applause]
i want to ask you guys one simple
question
the question is what was the first
social media that you use
you can answer to yourself or say it out
loud
high five thank you so
my first social media is facebook
yeah i remember i was like about to move
to my new school
which is international school so the
environment changed and i think i was in
the latest elementary
to my first junior high school and at
that time i remember i was so addicted
to it
like i was playing society all day and
then i post status as well as
photos and i remember that there was no
messenger before
so if you want to chat with our friends
we will be like commenting
below the photos so it ends up like this
like
some cases or photos have like a tons of
comment with no share
so i want to ask you guys another
question what is your current
favorite social media twitter
so to me it is instagram the reason
behind this is because
instagram has story stories allow us to
tell people who we are what we eat today
what we drink today how we dress who are
we with today
and then it will disappear in 24 hours
so it allows us to
expose ourselves more as a result we
think less when we want to post
something
we also can absorb more information
through id story that’s why sometimes we
got influence
and i want to say that we can know other
people easier
by ig story we don’t even need to meet
them but we can know who they are
and actually everything has two sides
right i want to tell you first about the
benefits of
influences by social media so the first
thing is
i was scrolling down in the explore shed
thing in the instagram and then
i saw one picture of a girl who has a
very nice body that i dream of
the picture is like this she’s very sexy
and
her abs her thigh everything and then i
imagine myself
i want to have that kind of body too so
the more i scroll down to her feet i see
that
her breakfast lunch and dinner contains
this ingredient
avocados that’s why i started to ask my
mom and dad
mom and dad can you please buy me an
avocado i want to try
eating avocado i want to know how it
tastes
will it make my body healthier yeah so i
asked him to buy it and then i taste it
and it turned out very well it tastes
very good and then
i like maybe lie to myself that i will
be healthier
and another good example is do you know
this sport
it’s called pilates i just started
trying it
not so long ago but i want to say that i
saw this picture and then i know that
pilates is a sport that
allows us to have like increasing the
flexibility
and strengthen the muscle as well as
doing dancing
so i want to try doing pilates too and
then it turned out well as
well however there are
some times that it didn’t turn out well
you can see in this picture right a girl
she was
standing on her longboard having a cab
and she’s smiling look like this
activity is so much fun
also i asked my my dad can you please
buy me this
yeah and then my brother was at korea at
that time when i want
when i want to play longboard and then
he needs to carry this gigantic
longboard all the way from korea back to
thailand especially for me
and then i like really enjoy i’m so
addicted to it for
first and second day and then guess what
happened
it was there in front of my toilet i
didn’t touch it at all
yeah so i feel like oh sometimes
influences by social media is not really
match me this is not the only
example cassette tape i want to be like
a vintage girl you know like
carrying quesadilla walking around it
end up there as well
i didn’t touch it at all i only touched
it when i bought it
third thing you can see my hair is very
like not neat at all because i like it
this way but my career
it involved me using this kind of iron
but i didn’t touch it that much
yeah and the last thing launch pad i
want to be like edm master
and like dubstep like dj yo-yo but
in the end it was there
above my rock and i didn’t touch it that
usb never plugged into my computer
at least once yeah so i feel like when i
look at this picture
i faces too much error like trial and
error is not wrong but
to me myself personally i think when i
absorb too much
information in social media it changes
me to something i am not
yeah so that’s why i want to go back to
being me
like who i want what i am what i want to
do so i decided i want to try to do
social detox
so during the five days i was doing five
days social detox
challenge and i was
putting like an app limit so i cannot
play twitter instagram and facebook for
five days
i will tell you guys what is my three
top things that i feel
is a very good thing about social detox
so i want to ask you guys another
question that
what do you currently see in social
media
to me like the top 10 twitter are
probably like hashtag
this one break up with this one of that
thing right
that doesn’t occur only in social media
it also occur
in real life people talk use that topic
to talk in real life as well
like you know do you know that this one
dates with this one do you know that
they broke up
why does she dress like that anything
like that and i feel like
wouldn’t it be better if we can talk to
the people in front of you
the topic like how are you today
are you happy today are you sad are you
bored are you anything
it will make i know the people in front
of you better
so i have one example i was sitting in
the car but not this car
like it’s like a van with our member and
then
we’re traveling traveling somewhere and
then
the topic that they’re talking about is
like the thing that is going on in
social media
not to say that it is wrong because i i
am one of them too but that time i was
doing social detox
so i could not join in the conversation
at all because i don’t know what is
going on right
and i feel like nowadays the generation
have changed
people doesn’t use social media as like
a tools to communicate
to spread good news but they are now
like a world they are now
controlling us so i think it might be
better if we can talk to the people in
front of us
the thing that is related to them
another example that is not me but
just imagine that that girl is me so the
second topic
is i know more about connecting with
people
so i was one day like i have an
event so they even i need to put on
makeup and do my hair
so usually i will bring my phone and sit
there and just
texting someone or scrolling down my ig
feet something like that but
that day i think like i feel like i
cannot do anything with my phone my
phone is just like calculator
or like a camera thing so i decided to
put my phone behind and then
walk up straight to the hairdresser when
i went there i just
sit down and all i can do is to stare at
myself in the mirror
and then i feel like the hairdresser she
feel like i don’t have a wall
i don’t have my own rule because i
didn’t have anything to concentrate to
so she decided to ask me
what kind of hair do you like like do
you want your hair tied up or you want
to leave it curly
so i said i want my hair tied up not so
neat a bit messy
these two simple questions allow us to
have like
a very long conversation around 20
minutes because i was doing my hair
yeah and i feel like just by putting a
phone down allow us to connect with
people
more easily and the last thing that i
learned
is to know myself i am a kind of person
who never asked myself
who i am what do i like what do i feel
what do i want sometimes i feel what
others want me to feel as well
so i think like it might be better if i
can feel what i want to feel
so during the time that i do social
detox it
makes me realize that what i really like
is to play guitar
yeah i know that i like to play guitar
but i never know that i like it this
much
during the five days of not using social
media at all
if i didn’t touch my phone for like
texting
i will be playing guitar all day and i
feel like i really enjoy
even though i’m not very good and it is
very difficult but i did not feel that
difficulty at all because i really enjoy
it
and it made me realize that i liked it
because of me myself when i was young i
really want to play guitar
not because i got influence from anyone
so i can proudly say that i know myself
more
through social detox i can say that
i am back at the track of being me what
about you guys
social detox can be a guide to the
answer of
what you want and who you are so
let’s take a break from social media and
let’s live our truly life thank you
