OMG, the amount of time I spent getting distracted by facebook and things I really should have no more interest in that I am not involved in anymore. Things are much better. I feel happier not on it except to communicate with certain people over my performance art and that’s it really. When I think I was on it for inspiration due to certain pages I subscribed too, I figured out I would have found this inspiration other ways – like through my regular email box and I didn’t need facebook for that either. It fosters shallow connections and I can feel the needs of my real life connections so much more completely now. 2 months ago
It is also nice not to have all sorts of people inhabiting my mind anymore who I don’t interact with in real life! Being an HSP, I started picking up on all kinds of things. 2 months ago
This is so true! It gave me this weird sense of paranoia for some reason, but then I always had some form of social anxiety that is actually heightened, not reduced by online community contact, which I find interesting. 2 months ago
It helps that I am in the middle of a major move with way too much to do to bother with facebook, but it’s on my mind still. I am happier away from it and connecting with real people and being busier with my own life than taking the time to puruse everyone else’s as a form of distraction. It is a very undisciplined way really to conduct ones social life and free time! I will keep it, but I will keep staying off of it too. Facebook is a very fortunate, unfortunate happening in a lot of ways. 2 months ago
