I ghosted from FB. I have had some messages from people asking if I am okay. I am taking a mental health break for a little bit from that. I am okay.
Mostly I want to like people, and sometimes you have to do things to preserve that side.

Sometimes I really like Facebook, but other times all I can focus on is the way it shows me a side of people that really gets under my skin. Periodic breaks are a must for me, so I feel you.

Yes. I have that response. I love my relations, and most of my friends but that other side of people...

Facebook is ... a rather mixed up thing, isn't it? I'd rather be without, but then there are both friends and family there and not to mention my course group page. And I'm just too easily distracted. My eye catches something and I'm off. And I loathe it. So yes, fully understandable. Mental health breaks from that place are much needed.

It absolutely is. I want to see what people are up to but at the same time there are elements that make me think, "OH COME ON!"

Sad reflection on society when we must leave it in order to preserve good feelings for humans, but the FB is kind of the worst of everything wrapped in a pretty package.

At times it feels like it should come with a great big asterisk. Because there is so much nuance that is left to one side. It isn't quite the same thing as a conversation. It is a bit like waiting for people to stop talking so you can start talking.

I hear ya.

That's all.

I thought you would understand better than most.
Hey I hope you are doing okay.
