A
At the beginning of this year, I decided I was going to quit Facebook. It was challenging, but I made it .And three months later, I’ve learned a few interesting things.
I’m no longer surrounded by information that I don’t want. I don’t have to look at new baby pictures posted by someone I haven’t spoken to for 10 years, or read different opinions on whether the dress is blue or white. Instead, I can choose to read news , or get together with a friend to talk about her most recent vacation. Life without Facebook is peaceful.
Sure, the first few days felt strange and uncomfortable. To ease the transition, I replaced some of my Facebook use with things like Instagram and Pinterest. I was also worried I would be missing out socially. As a matter of fact I do communicate with far fewer people now. But I’m having close relationships with the people that I actively seek out. You can really live without Facebook.
People were shocked. My mom took it pretty hard. “How will I know what city you’re in this week? How do I know who you’re hanging out with ?”she asked me after I told her I’d quit Facebook. Friends and family knew about my situation through my Facebook profile. I guess it’s no surprise that going through someone’s Facebook page to stay up-to-date on their lives is preferable to just picking up the phone.
So many of the apps we use every day are tied to our Facebook profiles. Living in San Francisco, Lyft is my primary method of transportation, and though I was able to ask them to keep my account without Facebook, I no longer had a picture in my profile and drivers looked at me strangely when I got into their cars. I can no longer use Getaround—my primary way of getting out of the city--- because you can’t use it at all without Facebook.
