Sick of…

…spending countless hours on social media?
…the constant and targeted advertising flood?
…content that ruins your mood or keeps you awake at night?
…seeing the same content over and over again?
…meaningless trends that everyone feels compelled to copy?
…people being celebrated solely based on their appearance?
…fake people, false content, and empty promises?
…notifications distracting you from important things?
…people using social media to promote their spicy content on other platforms?
…of highly sexualizing content?
…bullying, defamation, and the portrayal of certain individuals on social media?
…hate speech, manipulation, and propaganda on social media?
…mercenary individuals promoting the latest garbage just to make money?
…people using social media solely for self-promotion and flaunting their oversized lifestyles?
…algorithms that constantly keep you in a loop, manipulating you to stay online and watch videos for as long as possible?
…the countless hours you spend online when you could be doing much more meaningful things?
...political rants and divisive content?
...comparison and feeling inadequate?
...unrealistic beauty standards?
...constant notifications and distractions?
...toxic comments and arguments?
...overly curated, "perfect" lives?
...fake news and misinformation?
...being a product of big companies?

...Socials?

Social media is part of our daily lives...
...and comes with many advantages...
...like staying connected, sharing experiences, and discovering new ideas.
But sometimes...
...it’s important to pause and...
...ask youself:
Is social media really healthy for me and my relationships?
Don't misunderstand us: We’re not sick of social media itself!
We are sick of the toxic elements it amplifies like...
...the racism disguised as opinions...
...the relentless hyper-sexualization for clicks...
...the glorification of harmful lifestyles...
...the endless promotion of exploitative platforms like OnlyFans...
...and the manipulative algorithms that keep many of us scrolling...
...beyond healthy limits.
So Sick Of Socials isn’t about banning social media...
...it’s about encouraging a mindful and healthier usage.
Because sometimes...
...it's better to be sick of social media than to get sick yourself.
By being more conscious...
...we can improve our mental well-being...
...and create more meaningful connections...
...offline as well as online.
That’s why we encourage you to take a short break.
Everyone takes their pause individually, but together...
...we are building a movement...
...so you will never feel alone.
Give it a try...
...free yourself...
...there is nothing to lose.
