You know that feeling when no one's cancelled for tonight

[sobbing] [Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor' plays]

Yeah, staying in is the new going out - you heard me, I'm not wrong.

But anyway, what's worse than having committed to leaving your house for the evening is stalking your ex.

I know I'm one to talk. I am guilty of stalking all of my exes.

Even the ones that I no longer care about anymore. Sometimes I do it just to be like:

"Oh, and he got rid of that ugly couch, good for him!"

Sometimes, I do it to remind myself of how far I've come.

You'll get this joke the third time you watch it.

But six months ago, I did it how most of us do it.

As a form of torture, as a way to hang on to the past and pine

And reinforce all of my terrible feelings.

And it's like, why are we doing this to ourselves?!

What could you possibly find that would make you feel better?

Okay, maybe like a clutch cat meme but like what else?

Do you think you're gonna find a video of them saying that they miss you?

A subtweet that indicates that they've made a horrible mistake?

A Facebook post reminiscing on an old photo of you both?

No, because no-one uses Facebook anymore except for event planning,

[sobbing] Why did I click attending? Why did I even log on?

I thought Facebook was this desolate place for our parents and relics from another time!

If they wanted to be with you, they would.

And you need to stop checking their social media.

And I'm only making this video because now I am tired of torturing myself

So I'm holding you and me accountable and we're just not gonna do it anymore.

"But Anna, I only check my ex's page when I --"

No! Stalking your ex is like drinking poison and expecting them to die.

Not only is it stupid, but clearly you don't know how poison works, because guess what?

If stalking your ex on social media was poison, would'ya still do it?

- [sobs] Why did you keep refreshing? [sob] Why?

- [coughs] [wheeze] I knew that I shouldn't. But he curated such solid memes.

- I don't want you to go.  - [wheeze] I have one last request.

- Wait, what? - I just wanna be with good boys.

I just want my final resting place to be...

[exhale continues] Oh wait it's not done.

For real though. I mean, we donate our organs to humans

So like why don't we donate our bones to dogs?

It extends your grief, prevents your healing

and reinforces your neural pathways in a pattern of rumination which causes depression and anxiety.

Plus, I mean we're all showing our best face on social media

so you're misinterpreting something through a lens that is already very biased and skewed.

I could go on and on, but we know it's a bad idea.

So let's just stop torturing ourselves, okay?

Block, mute, unfollow, unlike, unsubscribe, undo, undo, undo.

I'm Anna Akana, we're gonna get through this, baby.

Also thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring today's video.

First off, and most importantly: enhanced security.

People are constantly trying to hack into my accounts whether it's social media sites

Spoiler alert, hackers! The only pussy pics I have on there are my five cats.

So VPNs allow me to beat location based streaming restrictions

Or just use the internet if I'm in a country with an oppressive government

that doesn't allow me to access information

But VPNs also provide a variety of services

such as improved online gaming speeds, automatic encryption on everything,

and online anonymity in case you do want to keep stalking.

You can get ExpressVPN for only $7 a month with a 30 day money back guarantee.

You can take back your internet privacy today

and find out how to get 3 months for free by clicking the link in the description box below.

That's ExpressVPN.com/Anna to learn more.

And don't stalk your ex, I was just kidding. Don't do it.
