So I deleted Instagram completely will need to do the same with Pinterest & other gadgets. Time is precious. Moving towards 80% less internet time. Facebook lured me back but keeping it inactive mostl
Is this permanently? If so, Im proud of you!! I did this no social media thing for a month back in january and felt so productive and so free but i got sucked back in soon after 😭 this socia media thing is scary
I first need to change all the passwords to sites I still need to use (need, not want!) because I was lazy and logged in with Facebook if I delete now I wont have access to those sites. but it is also to not share any data.
yes, it is permanent. it is an addiction and I sure dont want it back. I hope to be more available to actual people and none of the Facebook friends have ever wanted to meet in real life. I keep trying but they dont want to so to hell with them.
of course there is Dramabeans and I am so so grateful for thwat but I really really really need real connection. a touch, a hug, a smile, something, anything. otherwise I will feel like a ghost and this is what I realized we are on internet. we are like ghosts.
I’ve read accounts of studies that claim to show that social networking make people less happy, not more. Don’t recall details.
I wouldn’t know personally. Never been on Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc. Dramabeans is the closest I’ve ever come to being socially-network-y. And I don’t think DB makes people less happy.
that’s a good life you’re living! to hell with all these instant “connections” — real connections are where it’s at. somebody asked me recently if i’d rather live my childhood in this age or in the age that i did and i said i wouldn’t change anything abt my childhood. the days of playing outside for hours, of books
it did temporarily bring some happiness. but it´s not that I dont have any friends because of social media, I got on social media cause I was tired of never belonging to circles and nobody even talking to me. sharing jokes and stories that made people laugh was nice, every now and then you would meet a person who says I made their day with a pun or a funny story from the museum. But soon I wasnt happy about that because if they could see and read, why did they never visit when I invited? so I refuse to be the clown to entertain them any longer when I got nothing back.

But I will become a drama cliche and force myself to always be cheerful and upbeat so no one will know how lonely I am.

peach&mango, there are apps that disable newsfeed (Newsfeed eradicator) that help you to avoid scrolling trap.
