I lost touch with my mother's half of the family when I left Facebook ten years ago. Poof, gone. It was the only thing bringing us together. For me it's worth that cost to separate from social media, but it isn't for everyone.
- HelloMcFly 3y agoBut did it have to be that way? Relationships are a garden you can choose to water without the aid of social media. When I quit Facebook I made a short list of people to occasionally reach out to individually, and in so doing have lost no social connections I wanted to retain. But I also have zero problem with texting, emailing, or even calling someone I haven't interacted with in years to say hello and see how they've been. I appreciate that for many, the idea of doing that will give them some anxiety.
- jtode 3y agoI'm not here to judge em, but it doesn't sound very close-knit family. I'm out of touch with most of all my families, and I'm not particularly sad about most of em either. I'm sad about who some of them used to be, but I'm not at all concerned about not being in touch with who they are.
