i really want to delete tik tok so bad because there are times when i get 3 posts in a row about toxic relationships. these send me into a spiral especially when i’m afraid these posts in a row are a “sign”. i have a friend that has been in a terrible relationship before and she even tells me my relationship isn’t bad. but tik tok always sends me spiraling afraid that my relationship is secretly awful and toxic or ab*sive in any way
DELETE IT I deleted my social media and it saved my anxious brain!!!!
Social media recognizes your search history. Just like Google recommends ads or articles, Tik Tok will play recommended video clips based on topics you've searched for reassurance online. Deleting Tik Tok will not stop the online recommendations based on your search history, it will only reappear elsewhere. Try to resist the urge to seek reassurance online and that should help reduce the unwanted clips, articles, or ads. I think, I hope. . . Idk but it's what helped me. Now I stick to journaling.
thank u! cause i do often get the “mental health and wellness” side of instagram without showing any reaction to those posts too
@chloemeow.101 You're welcome! I personally love Tik Tok for the cute & funny pet videos, but you can find those on YouTube or elsewhere. To each their own. 😊
I deleted it
my bf had me delete tiktok for a month but i still kept researching things so it didn’t necessarily help but i would definitely recommend looking at relationship anxiety/rocd coaches on insta bc their posts and blogs help a lot!!
Delete it! Social media sucks!!!!
