After 20 days, I failed and be honest every day was a challenge. So many thirst traps on social media how do I get rid of it? I really don’t want to delete all of them because that’s how I keep up with family. I don’t know what to do.
Sorry, *screen-zen. Lol
There is an app called ze screen. Works magic for restricting time on apps (IG etc, websites (porn). And free, with no ads, so you could send them an donation to stay free.
Facebook. I got my instagram good and I don’t use X
There’s always text msgs phone calls Setting up in person family events! I know social media is away to stay in contact but there is to much temptation! You identified the problem Sooo?
If you’re talking about instagram Specifically I know you can click in the top right with the 3 dots of the post and say “not interested” and if you stay strong and keep doing that on thirst traps they’ll slowly start showing you less and less of that stuff.
I know some socials have a sensitive take somewhere in the settings if not, as soon as something tempting pops up hit not interested and do it continuously back to back to 20 or more pictures, hopefully your feed will change but at soon as it does I’m going to be honest it just takes one like or one time to much spent looking at a certain photo for your feed to go back to what you don’t want to see.
Thank you I will delete it
As soon as I login, one of the first things, I see is a thirst trap. Wish there was a way to just reset my algorithm.
At the very least delete social media off your phone. Only log in via your computer when you need to contact family. I think you’ll soon find that social media is not nearly as necessary as you believe it to be
Or you can just limit the time you stay on social media
Do you go on safari?

1. Put a 5-10 minute timer on the phone, and when you hit start only dedicate that time to addressing your family and friends. When it stops, you close Instagram no matter what it is. 2. You seeing those thirst traps are from the 'For You' page. Not Blaming you, just never click on that again, and only click on who your following (family and friends). If following models always posting those traps, just unfollow. Ain't about willpower, but setting the right environment. 3. Whether a trap or just in your mind something gives you that big urge, leave that room and do some exercises to shake it off your mind - say in your head "I'm in control, not them" (you touching yourself serves them, not you - remind yourself your better than that)
