June 15Jun 15 I closed my Facebook account years ago...although it was nice reconnecting with old friends, dear, dear friends, and I had joined several interesting groups there, it was triggering my OCD, anxiety, paranoia, depression... It seemed absurd to me that people had 500 " friends", and I was having a hard time seeing how successful people I had known forever had become, while I felt such a horrible failure, friends having kids, their dreams realised, traveling the world, having stable housing, etc... I created a new account months ago, but almost immediately closed it...one huge reason was fear of my " family" finding me, as well as an ex I didn't want finding me... I also made a twitter account i think last year sometime, but immediately closed it... It seems even in the online world my social anxiety plagued me. My depression amplified... So, all in all, I fear social media, and avoid it's often rampant triggering toxicity... I am lonely though, and long to again seek out old friends, but so ashamed all that " promise" and " potential " of my youth has led to my not having much to show for this half century on the planet. It's not good for me. It can be a plastic and sad " world"... So for now at least staying far away from it...
June 16Jun 16 I only have one friend on Facebook @Lavender🥰...and all other friends requests I deleted even family. I log on to view pages and groups I've liked or joined. I mainly go to Facebook to read, not to connect.
