It's usually from the same people that are super active and obnoxious on FB. Posting every single hours of their life. And suddenly realizing they addicted to it. And they still need to post about it.
I didn’t quit fb but I unsubscribed from pretty much everybody. I think I’ve posted once in the last 6 years, though occasionally I come up tagged in friends’ pics. I think I’m better off. I occasionally miss engagements of my friends though so this is a downside. (I’m 29). I continue to use messenger to chat with friends, including one good friend who has a budget phone plan (meaning fb messages are free while texting this friend isn’t for her).
I guess I’m posting this here to say that there is a middle(?) ground that works for me. I rarely find myself envious or jealous on fb. I will confess that I do experience these emotions in my offline life (much less frequently than daily, more often than monthly). Come to think of it, while I spend under 20 minutes a week on LinkedIn, I feel some negative emotions while browsing this feed. I’ve just realized I should limit my LinkedIn better.
I’m not posting this to brag, just to share another perspective because it felt relevant.
