I Deleted All My Social Accounts—Yet I Felt More Alone Than Ever

I used to think gaming was my escape—the pull of digital rewards, the rush of notifications, the false comfort of being seen.

But at 3 a.m., alone in my Manhattan apartment, with the blue light of my screen casting long shadows on the wall, I realized something else: solitude isn’t emptiness. It’s where meaning begins.

I deleted every app—not because I was broken, but because I needed silence to hear myself. No more ‘福牛盛宴’. No more fake triumphs disguised as victories.

My grandmother’s tea shop in San Francisco taught me that luck isn’t destiny—it’s decision. Every click, every pause, every breath before hitting ‘submit’—that’s when you choose your own worth.

I don’t chase wins anymore. I chase stillness.

In the subway station at midnight, I watch my reflection ripple through glass doors like water—no crowd cheering, no jackpot flashing. Just me—and the quiet rhythm of being alive.

SNS 다 지웠더니 외로워졌다고? 나도 그랬어! 휴대폰 끄고 보니 친구들 대신 안 떠오르고… 대신이 아니라 “나만의 차 한 잔”이 떠올랐지. 밤도 없고 알림도 없는데 왜 더 마음이 콩콩거릴까? 이제는 승리가 아니라 “조용한 침묵”을 쫓아. 너도 한번 해볼래? #외로움은내가선택한행복

অ্যাপ ডিলিট করলাম? আমি তোমার সঙ্গেই! 😅

সোশিয়াল মিডিয়ায় বসেছিলাম, “Like”-এর জন্যে “I’m alone”—এটা-ই “পুরোন”।

বাবা-এর চা-এর দোকানেই শুনেছি: “ভাগ্যওয়্”-এর बদলি होई।

আজকাল?

চা-এর कप में भाग्यओय् है।

তোমারও? 👇

¡Borré mis redes sociales y sigo más solo que un gato en un ascensor sin luz! Mi abuela me enseñó que la suerte no es destino… es decidir apagar el móvil. ¿Crees que los ‘likes’ son victorias? ¡No! Son ruidos de algoritmos disfrazados de conexión. Ahora persigo la quietud… y sí, mi gato me juzga en silencio mientras toma té en el metro. ¿Tú también borraste tus apps… o sigues esperando el próximo ‘submit’ como si fuera tu última oportunidad? #SilencioConSabor
