I recently deleted Tiktok because for whatever reason, it just stopped scratching the itch in my brain that it used to. Not sure why, but I'm not complaining because it's been such a massive waste of my time for so long. In general, I just have a lot less interest in doing things on my phone, as well as gaming, watching TV, or anything like that.

That said, my brain doesn't really know how to fill time yet. I have plenty of hobbies and a bunch of books I've been meaning to read, but my frequent lack of motivation makes it hard to just spontaneously dive into anything. Tiktok has been a key tool for procrastination for me, allowing me to avoid needing the motivation to start things for as long as possible. Now, when I have nothing clear to do, I just open and close apps on my phone. It sounds ridiculous, but it's the only way to explain it. I don't absorb any content, don't get any dopamine, nothing. I just open an app, go "ugh, I hate this", close it, open another, and the cycle continues.

I'm sure once I go a little longer away from Tiktok, I'll get a little more used to it (it's only been a few days) but embarrassingly, I just don't know how to use my time. I'm not mentally prepared to do stuff all the time, but I don't really understand what true mental downtime looks like for me if I'm not doomscrolling.

Anyone have any experience with this and/or advice on how to reset? I have absolutely no desire to go scroll on Tiktok right now, let alone any social media, but I'm sorta losing my marbles trying to figure out what to do with myself.
