I got FB as soon as my school was added in 2004, and watched it change, evolve, and eventually self destruct over the last several years. I deleted mine over a year ago. I quit caring about what was posted so I just bailed. My ex, however, was still very much addicted, spending hours daily checking and checking and checking. She admitted once that she sees the same posts over and over, but still needs to read them. That's nuts. I also recently got rid of my Instagram. It was too much for me. No one posts anything real anymore. It's all "look how great my life is." Well, I know you and where you work and how much you make, and no your life is NOT that great you liar. People cherry-pick moments to make everything look wonderful. That's why I'm over social media. I do, however, use Snapchat quite a bit. It tends to be more real, and far more entertaining.
