Yesterday I decided to stay away from social medias, I have done this periodically.
And, like every time, I was amazed at the amount of charges I get from not being online all day. Not being connected all the time.
I was receiving the messages but was not responding because I was not patient or did not want to.
I received messages like:
Died?
Forgotten me.
You’re ignoring me.
You do not even answer me.
You must be changing me.
I have no obligation to give satisfactions to all of them.
I keep thinking about what goes on in people’s minds to say these things just because you do not respond to the messages for one day.
It is as if you were forced to respond, as if it were your job.
It’s not like that, I have a life off the internet. I do things that do not need the internet.
And even if that was not the problem, I might not be well to respond and yet none of them asked me if something was happening to me.
This is ridiculous.
My human will only decreases every time I go through it.
We need to understand that each one has them life, with or without the internet. And it’s not because someone has not instantly responded that them has problems with you.
DO NOT MAKE UNUSUAL CHARGES TO SATISFY YOUR WELL.
I like the sentiment of the piece, and I also support the act of unplugging from social media, which is a very healthy thing to do. I support you!

True..,
Being online can be addictive and some are even become obsessive..
Just do you.. and do what is comfortable and right for you..
you just have to please you..

I think social media disconnects rather than connects – I stay away from Facebook as much as possible these days as I find it particularly annoying. Great post 👌

I wish I could go a day without logging on to some device or checking texts. I feel lost if I don’t. When I was young, we did not have the internet or home computers. I can’t even imagine that time now.

I totally agree, just because we have mobile phones now and almost everyone has access to the internet, some people seem to think we are always accessible. Well done you for unplugging sometimes you just need some alone time

Actually I’m online all the time. But I’m contrasting with you because no one call me. Sometimes my mother, or my “girl”, but I have no idea what they think about me. I fell like the people that I love would be bether if i never existed. Look it’s raining…

If you need someone to talk to just call me, I know this feeling and I can tell you, somebody out there live for you. They care about you and love you.
