please try again in a minute.. At the time I felt like I was acting on a whim, but in hindsight I can think of a number of reasons why I might have quit: Micro-blogging was not fun any more Managing my settings and content took too much time I wanted to get to know people in person I wanted people to get to know me in person, but only if I like them I wanted to cut out people I dont want to know more easily Theres too much passive-aggressive behavior on Facebook I had forgotten how to surf the internet for interesting content I checked Facebook far too often The novelty had completely worn off I am sick of the way I overhear Facebook in every conversation Nice things about having quit Facebook: I began to phone my family rather than check their status Friends who were quiet on Facebook turned out to be chatty via e-mail It was a surprise to find out which friends made an effort to stay in touch I felt like I had a lot more peace and time to myself I visit a broader range of interesting web sites, as per my pre-Facebook days Annoying things about having quit Facebook: People forget to invite you to events then ask why you were not at them You realize how many e-mail addresses and phone numbers you do not have Some friends just do not know how to keep in touch, so you have to give them up Youre the last to hear a lot of social news So many conversations revolve around Facebook that you often find yourself excluded You cant spot bad photos posted online and ask your friends to remove them Its harder to share interesting links with your friends Thats all I have so far.

I am having a tough time because I liked being on FB so I could keep up with my kids lives&at least that was the excuse I gave myself. In that time, weve talked about quitting Facebook and what to do if you stay. Gnarly, dude. (I didnt know you could still be messaged when deactivated.) Well now Im deactivating it again& like everyone said, it seemed like an addiction. Lots of your newsfeed is filled with bs and you are also left wondering who youre real friends are and who really cares about you. Blah. I only got on facebook because I was so bored and thought well if I look and see what everyone else is up to, maybe I wont be so bored.

Three, I got worried for a family member after she deactivated, thought something had happened to her or to the baby she is carrying. And lastly, I began to realize what I should have known all along  FB isnt real. Yet like any addiction, you sometimes forget that the bad, and think maybe I can do it but this time different! So yesterday, I took my profile picture down, I deleted a bunch of friends and just tried to keep the ones I really care about. But to tell you the truth, they doesnt really a true friends.maybe few of them only. I did feel more free though, and one of the greatest times was a vacation I took at my parents in Florida during spring break, I just remembered the last time I was there constantly checking facebook and being unhappy. Am i ever going to & so to speak.  well in short i deactivated it and i am still alive!!!  thanks. I just got back from a week of vacation overseas where I had no internet access and therefore didnt use FB. I mean security concerns were not the catalyst in my case either! The social angle of quitting Facebook was what drove me to do it. It is interesting to see who will actually take the effort to cultivate a friendship in real life now that I am not so easily accessible.

Its also nice to have privacy and to remain somewhat of a mystery to others. In all honesty, it felt like an addict that kind of wants to just pass by the alcohol store one more time. I do realize that most of my Facebook concerns are not security concerns. Im free! Reply happylittleturtle says: December 18, 2012 at 21:49 Im free!!! Ready for a real life with real friends again. I didnt have the heart to unfriend anyone, but I dont see their posts and I dont communicate with them. I hate that celebrity crap. And next time I hear someone ask the how could you/why would you, Ill send them a link of this post, if you dont mind!  Reply Sohum-Bilawal says: July 4, 2012 at 07:10 Oh yes and the 2-3 months I have not been there very very few of people on my Friends List have noticed I am not on there. I hate it&.It really brings my self esteem down even more. Keep in mind, if you use your Facebook account to log into Facebook or somewhere else, your account will be reactivated.
