I'm kind of embarrassed by how much I mindlessly check this dumb thing. It's almost just a subconscious ritual. I'm partially ready to just bail on it completely, but don't want to be all attention whorish and make some fruity "goodbye" post. So I think I'm gonna delete the mobile app tonight, delete it from the bookmarks and just stay away from it, using lent as an excuse.

Anybody ever leave social media? Is it difficult? Do you cease to exist in the virtual world?

So you come here to do it instead?

More people should do this IMO.

Just deactivate it and you probably won't even notice.

I should give TD up for lent, would be tougher than giving up liquor.......maybe not tougher equally difficult.

I was thinking of giving up Facebook for good but the comment wars on the local news fb status's has given fb new life.

shite is hysterical to watch unfold.

You know, I honestly have no excuse. You're probably right... I wouldn't think I'm hooked on it; I just mindlessly click on it. It's weird. I don't know what compels me.

...says the guy with 85,000 TD posts.

Look, I know. I'm not looking for a pity party. I just wonder what it's like to sort of go off the radar.
