So I've deactivated my FB and insta. I'm suffering from severe withdrawal. It's crazy how addicting these apps are. It's not like I've got alot of friends either but it feels like being out the loop. It's frustrating and annoying at the same time but I had legitimate reason to do it cause it was time consuming and haven't had time to put more content out there. I say time but I need to record something or whatever.
It's only been a day and already feel a werid empty feeling. Tbh I might start crack maybe that would help me over come it.. joking btw. I've done it become like total detoxing from social media just it's always hard in the beginning.
This forum and the news is all I have... it's enough.
I know what you mean. I have a twitter and facebook acct. I not really on there for friendship but follow certain sites. I have deactivated both accounts several times, but keep going back. I even closed this account and came back. Even though they are time consuming I have to go back. I guess I am addicted.
facebook is doing my head in but I have to be part of it to help the charity im in or it would be gone.
they piss me right off in many ways
Stay strong...maybe get a sponsor. (LOL.) I wasn't as brave as a complete deactivation, I simply logged off on January 1st. I catch up with family and friends the old fashioned way now...phone calls and visits. And so far it's been great. I do miss following certain pages, but I'm getting plenty of reading material from the links here.
Social media IS a time waster. However, it's one way in which I keep in touch with family members from around the world. But it's not a deep level of communication, very superficial. I'll think on this a bit more.
Good luck with staying off of FB an the others. It's rather wise of you.
