HotLikeMexico 3,950 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I deleted all my social media accounts and have never looked back. I’m so much happier without it. im at the point also where I might leave GGD. I just think life is better without social media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cello 49,538 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I deleted twitter around 5 years ago and my Facebook is deactivated most of the time, I check it probably once every couple of months. I still have Instagram, which steals way too much of my free time so I should probably delete that too. she/her 👹🖤 | 🚫Tabloid Junkie🎶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaSine 7,464 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I want to do it, but, and I know this sounds pathetic, it gives me purpose in life. I just have no irl friends and I am someone who is very insecure and needy, interaction with ppl online gives me validation and makes me feel less worthless. I have severe depression and while I do recognize I use social media as a crutch it still helps in ways. I need to work on healthier ways to make connections and build my self esteem, but it’s so hard especially now with the pandemic. I used to have a blog on tumblr that I literally spent my entire free time on. I was literally homeless at one point updating my blog at the public library. It is definitely something you could call an addiction. I haven’t used tumblr now for about four years but I still miss it and the connections I made so much. I recently got banned from twitter and i’m so heartbroken about it! I am missing the ppl I would talk to so much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 87,449 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have deleted all my photos from a social site before cause I had the self-esteem of a piece of **** and I thought no one cared about them anyway If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

FentyGa 14,340 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 nope, i’d feel so disconnected when i’m sad, isolated, or thinking too much, i look at my social media and feel connected to the world and other people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer92 837 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I recently deleted Twitter and boy what a relief its been more my sanity. Although I still have Facebook, im rarely on it anymore. The only social media I use actively is Snapchat and Instagram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirrtyPony 1,330 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yes I've been off of FB and IG for over a year and don't miss it for a second. You don't realize how much consuming mindless info can weigh on you until you step away for a while. Strung out for another taste Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antran123 77 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was disconnected last weekend and i really felt great, i felt more relaxed. the quarantine really made me take a lot of annoyance with social networks so i think i'll disconnect again the next 2 months.
