    I did for good after the tiktok ban. It’s difficult as someone who moved to a different state than most of my friends and family but they have my phone number if they really want to talk.

      That was my favorite part about quitting Facebook

      Removing the people who aren’t actually in my life

      If they’re actually in my life, we can call or text

        One of the best things I have done. I don’t even miss it and the thought of going back is sickening in a way.

            I have had to tell people in my life multiple times that send me reels through text that I can’t watch them.

        I don’t really know how to talk about this, but when I broke up with my partner, it was very painful. I didn’t want to block her on Facebook, so I stopped using Facebook gradually, and haven’t now for years.

        And I think I really did lose a lot of friends and social connection. I’m basically a loner now, years later, but I didn’t used to be.

        I’m not very good at staying in touch with friends; remembering birthdays, reaching out, organizing hangouts, and stuff like that. Facebook helped me with all of that. And when I took it out of my life, something is missing now.
