Niklas Süle explains his absence from social media

German defender Niklas Süle has revealed the reasons behind his absence from social media and his reluctance to showcase his lifestyle and possessions, despite the money he has earned throughout his professional career. He emphasized that the constant comparison with others is one of the main downsides of these platforms.

Zouleh's comments came in response to a question regarding his reluctance to showcase his personal life, despite owning an Audi R8 and not using social media applications. He stated: "I think one of the worst things we can do as humans is to constantly compare ourselves to others. Instagram often encourages this behavior. People spend their time looking at pictures and videos of other people's lives, and then they start comparing their personal lives to those of these individuals."

He added: "I don't need to show the car I drive to others. Yes, I have a nice car, but I drive it because I like it, not because I want to impress anyone. I'm not saying that everything on Instagram is bad; there are positive aspects too."

He added: "When you have a large number of followers, you can leverage that fame to advocate for certain causes, help children, or support important projects. But for me, the negative aspects take up more space than the positives."

Zouleh continued his talk addressing the time consumed by social media platforms, saying: "Look at what is happening today with short videos on YouTube. You start watching some, and suddenly you realize that half an hour has passed without you noticing. Everyone knows this feeling. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to use these platforms again."

He added: "Of course, it could have helped me during my career, and maybe I would have gotten more commercial partnership deals. I definitely lost some money due to my absence on social media, but that was not a priority for me."
