I deactivated my FB & IG accounts… holy smokes I feel like some sort of weight was lifted, just the constant pressure of responding or keeping up with the Jones’ is gone.. Poof.. On the other hand I’ve had multiple friends ask me in person if I unfriended them.. I did spontaneously deactivate it without telling anyone, my B. But FREEDOM!
Both VALIDATING replies 🥰🥰
I did the same thing, and had the same questions! One friend basically shut me out for it, too! But I felt so much freedom from being away from “fake friends” and wasting time ☺️
This was the best thing I ever did for my brain / self-esteem / focus / LIFE tbh. I recently had to go back on Facebook Messenger for work — it’s where our rosters are posted — and had to be very careful not to get sucked back in. So far, so good.
