Dottleshead ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2018 I opted out of everything. I get no emails when people have /are attempting to reach me or mention me in that polluted space. I posted a couple farewell notices and was going to give one more but decided it was too dramatic and just did it. If I don't miss it after 3 months (or whatever) I'll just cut the cord and delete my account. My hope is that I become more active again and move towards becoming more social rather than sit in the security of my own sofa or chair. Besides, instead of talking meaningless drivel with former asshats or acquaintances of former asshats, I'd much rather come in here and be an asshat to folks that I am unacquainted with. I just need to get my ass off the couch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will get you active again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted June 23, 2018 I was on FB for 10 years, Latte, so it's nice to turn a new leaf. I'm tired of the high school scene. In fact, at the risk of sounding/reading jerkish, I could give a shit about most of those people. I'm happy to have purged them from my life to be honest. I already feel liberated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted June 23, 2018 I'm the type of guy that has a hard time making a decision but when I do -- I typically make it and stick with it. I hope that's the case here. I recently had another friend do it and he says it's the best thing you can do for your mental health and he was an avid blogger and poster. If I didn't believe that, I would be doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I left BF as my primary online site, it took a solid 6 months to totally let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lately I have realized it was not effecting me in that way anymore. In fact, it was having quite a bit of negative return. I'll make it. 10 years was a good run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted June 23, 2018 I suspect it means I'll be posting in here more often for awhile. But the goal needs to be less posting period. My weight is up and my energy down. The free time I do have goes into places like these. I should be using my time constructively with healthy relationships and spending my time doing constructive things. Just my two cents. Physical health deteriorating. My mental health has been on the slide. It's time to reclaim my health back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #18 Posted June 23, 2018 I rarely use Facebook but there are times when I need it. For example, a relative's surprise 80th birthday party was announced on Facebook since the relative doesn't use it. I also post photos or video links for family stuff to other family members. Also, there are some websites I'm on where I have to login with Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
