I quit sometime last Spring. I don't know what happened but I finally was able to.
I think I feel happier because I have lower expectations and my small successes feel big in my mind because I am not comparing to others.
For example, a few minor home repairs over the weekend feels huge to me. I really feel great about them. One of my best friends is a carpenter and I know shouldn't compare.. but I think I do it unconsciously.
I still have social media accounts. I posted a last message once I knew I wasn't going back to social media.
- tfandango 5y agoI still have my accounts and browse through them once every day or two in order to see what people are up to, but I consciously made a decision to stop posting a few years ago, and then to stop commenting on contentious threads maybe a year or so ago. I agree life has been much better, there's no lingering obligation to respond to someone who disagrees with you N times/hour. I see some of my friends posting things to "make people think" or whatever but somehow the discourse is never constructive.
