[quote=Anonymous]I used to be quite into using social media as sort of a marketing tool (in grad school, promoting my Zumba classes, then sort of flaunting an overseas volunteer year) -- and then in my late 20s I got really exhausted by it. I felt too much pressure this way and that. I'd started a steady career and met the man I wanted to marry and kind of felt like all the self-promotion wasn't that helpful anymore. This was around the time of Trump's inauguration and like OP, also realized there's often a disconnect in how people act on social media and IRL. unfortunately this including family members whom I love, who were just reprehensible online (but not in person). So one reason for removing myself was to try to maintain the view of/relationship with these people close to me.
I think it was about year later that my now-DH also deleted all his social media. We had our first baby then and it was like, "Who has time to update everyone constantly like all these other people??"

I also became increasingly aware that in order to be cool on Facebook you have to (act to) be really passionate/involved and it is just so tiring. Just live your life and stop broadcasting everything.[/quote]
