sportygirl89 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I deleted my facebook back in the fall. I just deactivated my instagram account. I want real authentic relationships of all types!. Plus I just got on a competitive volunteer organization so I don't need it. No constant comparing of my life to others has been great. I might get one or two likes on on instagram. But really no one pays attention to their instagram. My goal is to go a year with out either and possibly longer. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
AspenBaldwin Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'm proud of you. If I had a life I wouldn't be posting stuff online, I'm glad someone is giving life a chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Some of my friends want to, but won't because of FOMO, but I tell them that after a couple of weeks, they won't even notice it anymore. So liberating! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author sportygirl89 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 My church does a lot of things on Facebook so I feel like I miss out a lot. But if I ever do make another one. I'll do it where people cannot find it or make it obvious its me and will not have any friends. I have enough to occupy my time now so not worried about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Contact your pastor, explain your situation, but how you still want to attend, Tell him you'd rather not be left out, but rather be informed with another end, As someone who is a member of a church, I'd be hard pressed to see him deny, In fact, I'm sure he'd be thrilled that you've taken steps to be included and why.

schlieman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Love it. I myself have never been big on social media, i find it hillarious when you see people having hundreds of friends...just to probably never talk to them. Social media is so overated. And it certainly doesn't teach you any social skills. Link to post Share on other sites

I would delete facebook but I do use it by visiting my family page to keep track of holiday's graduation, etc. Otherwise I don't use it for much. That being said, I fear that over the last few years that the internet (in general) has become a goto for dealing with boredom and I could probably come up with some better options.

Author sportygirl89 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 What is competitive volunteering? I have extensive training with them. I'm keeping that private in the event someone from that organization crawls on this page. Link to post Share on other sites
