Exactly this. Since quitting Facebook a month ago after noticing it was driving me nuts I've been happier, more productive and a lot closer to my closest friends. YMMV, but for me it has been very positive on all aspects of my life.
Perhaps this is a sign that Path are onto something - for people like me at least. (I had been very skeptical before)
- personlurking 15y agoI quit for 3 years and went back for a month or two once or twice during that time. While this was happening, I was no longer invited to events my friends (sorry, "friends") went to and no longer knew what they were up to in their lives plus between work and Facebook events, they stopped doing anything spontaneous (such as meeting me for a coffee when I called). These were people I knew for between 5 to 10 years in real life. I have since recently gone back to Facebook and moved cities (countries) so I'm trying to use it just for events/to my advantage, if such a thing is possible.
- noarchy 15y agoI've been on a few Facebook vacations, and I've always been disappointed to see how many people use it as their sole means of keeping in touch with friends (meaning, I don't exist if I'm not on FB with them). You won't get emails from some of these people, even if you write to them. It's as if they either aren't checking, or can't be bothered to write more than a few lines anymore.
