That's interesting. When I quit Facebook after years of heavy use, I felt no better or worse.
The News Feed killed the positive social interaction on the site, so it had essentially become a (very bad) news aggregator for me.
- hshdhdhj4444 11mo agoI wouldn’t say I felt better. Which is why I found it so comparable to quitting smoking. A smoker doesn’t feel “better” after quitting smoking. Even over a decade after having quit I bet if I smoked a cigarette right now I would feel much nicer than I did right before I smoked it. However, I would notice physiological changes, like a faster heart rate, slight increase in jumpiness, getting upset sooner, etc. Quitting FB was similar. I didn’t feel “better”, but several psycho-physiological aspects of my body just went down a notch.
