I've quit social media as well and I've found that it's very difficult to stay in touch with most friends who aren't in the vicinity. They never initiate contact while communicating nonstop with everyone on social media- just not me. It started when I left social media. I think that we have all been trained to expect communication to come as a social media post, message, like, emoji, etc. It's too much effort to reach out to one person privately.

> It's too much effort to reach out to one person privately. And yet millions of people do it every day, so it's not too much effort. The difference is we reach out to those that we have more than a superficial connection to. If we develop real relationships. they won't rely solely on low effort communication.
