So for the past week or so I have been living the life of a Amish person. Okay, not really, I just deleted my Facebook. So basically that makes me Amish to the world. For the first couple days it was difficult not to know everyone's business, for everybody not to be aware when I'm going to work, or know how sexy I think Ryan Gosling is. But for these couple weeks I have been doing good.
I felt a sense of freedom in a sense that people don't make judgements on me or think they know me because of what my Facebook page says. I would like people to befriend me by getting to know me in person. I'm not so antisocial where I need a Facebook to communicate and share my interests. Also, I can concentrate in class much much more.
Anyways, I just wanted to let the universe know that I have not vanished, I just deactivated Facebook. I don't plan on returning in the near future. I am happy with the better things in life.

ReplyDeleteJust because someone uses Facebook as a tool to meet new people and communicate who they are, does not mean they are antisocial. In fact, you did it for years; just because you decided to temporarily deactivate it does not erase this history. Also, this blog could also be considered being antisocial according to that definition.
I use my Facebook to keep in touch with the friends I have met. Again, it's just a tool - one of many. While there are people who do only sit on the computer all day on Facebook, they are not the majority; making a blanket statement like that just didn't sit well with me in this posting.
With that said - I love your site. I keep up monthly. I like your views on the many things that effect the gay world. This one just didn't click with me.
