Friends on this forum

I'm done with Christmas Cards

I have a recurring habit of reversing myself out of friendship groups online at the first hint of any kind of "trouble" - I've had more Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts than I can remember, going through cycles of deleting accounts and setting up new accounts and un-following / re-following people.

I partly reversed myself out of this forum by unfriending most of my friends on here after "it all kicked off" over the last few weeks.

I'm a Muppet I know & I'm sorry if anyone noticed and got upset.

Please don't take it personally and don't hesitate to send me a friend request if you want to.

  • I resemble this topic. Several times I built up friend lists on Facebook, then deleted everyone and my account. Then started all over. 

    I'm guessing most people don't do this, though!

    Well sounds like two of us do ......... I've come off social media altogether apart from Instagram for a particular hobby and feel much less stressed for being away from it all. I do miss people sometimes, and sometimes wish I had somewhere convenient to say "hey, what about this....." but I realise now that my posts like that are only really saying "hey, look at *me* talking about this.....". I'm trying to build up little circles on WhatsApp instead - where you talk to specific people when you want to rather than shouting into the Abyss.......
