i was with my friends a few weeks ago and realised i was the only friend without social media. it came when i was asked “if i had seen this tiktok”. no, i hadn’t. i made a decision to deactivate all my social media in the new year and i’ve not had the urge to reactivate it so far. my friends and family often try to send me links to videos on facebook, instagram and tiktok but i can’t view them on the account of having no active accounts with these platforms. for a moment i wondered if i was missing something. have i restricted myself by purposefully shutting them down? i believe i have not. i have the luxury of going to see my friends in person, i could catch up with them over a phone call if i couldn’t. i’m quite happy seeing the unedited version of their lives. whether you think social media is good for bad, i’m comfortable that i’m not missing out on anything.
