[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same OP. I think quitting FB was the best choice for my mental health but I definitely feel disconnected from people. In particular, it means I’ve totally lost touch with people from my past— high school friends, old colleagues, etc.

But I don’t even maintain a FB account for marketplace or groups. I know if I did, I would wind up using it to look people up and get sucked in somehow. That’s why I quit— [b]it was a time suck and made me too focused on what other people were up to, instead of just minding my own business.[/b][/quote]

These are the main reasons I deleted my FB account. I also had some concerns about privacy. One year out, I wish I had deleted FB sooner instead of hanging on for the school updates. It was a significant life improvement, and I wasn't even a heavy poster. Life is more peaceful, and when I knew my account was fully deleted after the 30 day "you can still reverse your decision" window, it felt like a great weight was lifted from me that I didn't even realize i was carrying. I even have the spare time now to read books for fun again.[/quote]
