If you "force" yourself to use Facebook or social media, you're probably not going to have a good experience. I don't really like social media, but I have to use it due to the nature of my career. I really don't use it socially at all.
You don't need to feel bad about your lack of a social media presence. For most people, their obsession with it is unhealthy. In fact, studies have shown that use of social media and feelings of loneliness increase on a parallel.
Big surprise, right? People feed tons of energy and time into "looking happy, popular, and successful" on Facebook, while all the time depriving themselves of actual experiences, friendships, and joy. Do you really want to be one of those people who take a picture of every freakin' meal they order at a restaurant? No...because those people can't enjoy anything without knowing that all of their "Facebook friends" know about it. It's pretty shallow, really.
