Yes I read this too and definitely agree with it. I would never publicly complain or make a stink if my posts didn't get acknowledged, but I would internalize it as another way I'm just not good enough. I also used Facebook to keep in touch but I would continuously find myself comparing my life to others and always finding my life fell short. I finally took the plunge two weeks ago and deactivated my account. It's been the best decision I've made in a long time and I surprisingly haven't missed it! If anyone is considering, I highly recommend even if you just plan on a short break to try it out.
Thanks for this!
