Social Networks

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Do you still use any social network? I stopped being on Facebook 3 weeks ago. I don't use Insta anymore too. Do you still use any of them and how do you feel when using them? Do you feel better or worse? I'm not using them anymore. I closed my Facebook account. I just got tired.

I deleted Twitter and rarely browse Instagram. I have Facebook and its the one I spend the most time on but again just browsing, I don't post anything on social media. I use messenger to communicate with my mom but that's all. I used to be pretty active till I realised its all one big dick measuring contest. Who has the best life, the most money, the best job etc. It just becomes depressing to see how I don't compare to anyone.

I took myself off social media because it was depressing to see everybody else's lives and also as a way to just distance myself from everybody.

I've never used it. I did look up a childhood friend on FB that I haven't seen since grade school, but I couldn't bring myself to message him when I saw how much friends and family he has, and how being a suicidal stay at home mom means I would have literally nothing to contribute to his life.

I don't have a life, so a social network is useless to me.

One bonus of deleting my social media accounts is that I no longer have people contacting me, pretending to be my friend so they can sell me shit or get me to join their mlm "business".

I never used Facebook, I only made one a year ago because the only way to sign into something was to use Facebook. Never used Instagram. I only have an empty twitter which I use to like artworks of anime and stuff. The most social media I use is Snapchat, but I only talk to my best friend on there and just sometimes view the stories of acquaintances who I never talked to and people I don't know.

I've never used Instagram, I was an active campaigner on Twitter at one point with a decent following but I shut that down when my ex began using it to stalk me. I quit Facebook for good when the same ex distributed revenge porn and I found it was linked back to my account. I have an account on there now but under a pseudonym and I only use it once in a blue moon to network for work.

I don't know much about Snapchat, except that at one point everybody was obsessed with those freaky filters... Are those still a thing?

That's a very interesting question and something to observe because many of us, those who wanna CTB, tend to isolate ourselves and start "hating" or simply considering social networks a pointless thing. At least that happened to me.

I just use facebook to look at the news on my liked fanpages and I'm fed up with other SNs such as instagram because is mainly about people pretending to be happy and cuter than they really are.
(i know it because i used to be one of them haha)
