    Instagram is awful, I’m finding it harder not to go on insta and get triggered than not going on Porn sites!

    When I find myself scrolling through Instagram, I have to consciously tell myself, “no, turn this page off”, once I’ve done this the cravings go away and I’m back to normal.

    I have a weird sort of fear of missing out, what if the hot girls that I follow suddenly put an amazing picture on and I miss it?

    I need to delete my insta account don’t I?

  2. Already deleted it. I am guilty of scrolling through girls' pictures and that's not something I intend on continuing. I should get back to tracking days without Instagram

    Yes.

    Instagram is the devils workshop. Joking aside, social medias can produce very nasty habits/addictions. I'd say you're missing out on time you could be spending doing things that improve your life, instead of being on Instagram.

    Yes - and you are not alone in this.

    I have had lots of struggles with things like insta and have blocked all of them as a result. This - as you note - is not easy. I miss my 'old friends' (meaning my favourite images and models) and ache about what I am missing. But I just cannot engage these sites without getting triggered and I have a tough time getting triggered without acting out and acting out always gets worse, so...

    Best of luck.

    All social media for me had to go. Except Reddit. But I am only sub’d to subreddits that obviously have zero temptation, video gAmes, the nofap subreddit, Christian subreddits, fun and shooting, outdoor stuff, things like that.
     
  6. Is it weird that I never really had this issue with Instagram and that I've not had to delete it because a: I'm not on it much because of college and b: I've never really looked into any triggers on there since I started. I've been real disciplinary with myself.
