i just look to see if someone wrote me a private message.
I have gotten rid of more photos so that it is just not much on there anymore.
I may start checking it only once a day and then once a week./
People that really want to get a hold of me can ask me for my email, right?
or just call? 1 day ago

i only go on there just in case someone has written or has need for me to click some button of like.
i think facebook has damaged my life because of the people on there thinking we are friends just cuz they click on things.
I am going to get on there less and less all summer now.
the fathers day picture my son put up promoting how great his dad is, takes the cake.
His dad raped me, stole from me, stole my friends, and undermined my happiness all that 18 yrs . my older kids do not seem to feel that I am the kind of mother that they would put a photo up and brag about.
so I got nothing Like That on mothers day .
They dont have photos of me and my parents up in their homes, only the other side of thier fam( their dad or inlaws)
why is that?
I guess it hurts but It is not anything NEW.
do i need to do anything about it?
maybe tell them it hurts then of course that wont change anything.
I will be just whining or in a bad mood because I said something. 3 days ago

ok so towards this goal today, I deleted loads and loads of photos and hid a bunch of things from my Timeline.
and also, deleted a few people that I never hear from at all…
and hardly knew.
I also changed a bunch of settings, I can see that I am relieved already.
I also have been reading articles on how unhappy facebook is making people! 2 weeks ago

I want to quit face book 1 month ago

OK, sometimes I miss the chance to make an amusing observation, i.e. status. I could write them all down and have a little stand-up talent show with friends.
Fun to act like a kid! 3 months ago

I’ve had a few enquiries… every single person has understood (and agreed with me) about quitting. It’s like quitting smoking – people know they should, but can’t bring themselves to do it! 3 months ago

I forgot about facebook. Didn’t take long!

Might have to mark this done soon… 3 months ago

Yes… I can heartily recommend ditching your facebook account.

Still feeling no withdrawal.

I’ve had to create a pseudonym account to have a page for a charity group I’m part of, but that account is not personal in any way. When I am no longer communications officer the account will be handed over with the role.

Since ditching my account, I’ve seen quite a few people I used to keep up with on facebook and guess what? We suddenly have something to talk about! We can interact, ask questions, see expressions when you give good news, commiserate… it’s AMAZING. Real life, who’d have thought it! 3 months ago

For about a week, I’ve strictly limited my Facebooking.

What helps? I’m doing this for charity, so knowing that my friends are donating and then expecting me to not click really helps in those tempting moments! (If you want to get that kind of support, while helping this excellent nonprofit, you can sign up for a campaign here: http://atthecrossroads.org/campaign/)

Benefits:
-feel like I have a longer attention span already
-more work gets done
-I can do more exercise (leading to even more clarity of mind)
-I am getting aware of what I want from Facebook (reassurance? humor? connection?) and noticing how I can get these in better forms
-I make real connections in person. Sometimes my friends will mention what they posted. So I feel I get caught up anyway.

I’ve gotten into forums like this on FB and elsewhere. I may still keep doing those. The benefits are my ability to process what I’m feeling and where I’m going, with people who have similar interests but maybe see my situation from the outside with a fresh perspective. 3 months ago

I’ve been off Facebook about two years now, and I highly recommend it. I found that every article I read about all the negative aspects of being on Facebook was spot on. It wasn’t easy, and there have been times I’ve been tempted to fall off the wagon. But my life is much better as a result.

If nothing else, I found not being on Facebook is an excellent way to find out who your real friends are. Having fewer real relationships of quality is far preferable to keeping up with lots of people who wouldn’t bother except when you show up in their stream of posts. 3 months ago

Not feeling any withdrawal just yet. And in fact, it’s really nice not being able to check what some people I don’t really know had for their dinner last night. 4 months ago

I’ve hit the delete button. That doesn’t mean I’ve done the goal yet, though… I still need to not log in for 14 days, thereby reactivating my account. 4 months ago

Everything is now ready for deletion apart from an event I’m holding tomorrow… if I delete now, people may think it’s cancelled.

It’s my birthday on Monday… I think I’ll delete my account as a present to myself!

Or I could delete on Sunday so I can say I quit facebook before the age of mumblemumble. 4 months ago

I’ve done the necessary steps and now have only three categories in my spreadsheet…

1. Ditch
2. Got details
3. NEED INFO

There are now only 2 people in the “NEED INFO” category. I’ve sent messages to them to explain the situation.

After that, I can close my account and won’t be missing out on anyone important. 4 months ago

An interesting little article that puts some of the points forward. 4 months ago

I have engaged with my facebook audience and pointed them towards my blog where I ask the question… does facebook have value?

It’s ironic that the best place to reach a large audience is… on facebook. 4 months ago
