This is literally a quote from an old “inspirational” Facebook video about the “dangers” of technology. I can’t remember the name of who made it but h3h3 made a video about it back in the day.
I “fasted” from Facebook three years ago for 21 days. It was hard and I was counting the days I could go back on. Then just before I clicked on I realized how much more time I had and how much closer I was to my real loved ones. So I never went back. Never sorry.
I did a similar thing with snapchat. I deleted the app and never looked back. If I truly care about what my friends are up to, I can ask them face to face or call them. A lot of my fellow high schoolers still don't understand my realization that real life is way cooler than a superficial, digital life.
Left without saying a word. I was running a few big groups. Didn't even leave them a replacement admin. No one has texted, call, or email. No one has checked in. Hundreds of family and friends I personally knew... Instead of happy birthdays, I send a card, through the mail. Special moments, I text and call family. I don't publish it like a tabloid. It's an addiction. Find something to do to keep away for 30 days. Play a new game, start a big project, anything. Eventually you get to be that person that's say "I don't have a Facebook account. You will have to text me on my phone."
I did the same thing a couple weeks ago and I only told my best friend and my mom I did through text. Its not like I don't have other social media but man....I had that since the place opened when I was in college. Once I got all the photos and videos I wanted off I was fine with leaving. Not like I was having meaningful conversations with anyone and I wasn't even really going on I was keeping it just to... I guess have a place for my family and all to connect with me and they all cut me out after my grandma died and it took me a couple years after to see it was causing me more depression seeing how they all cut me out then help seeing people. So I just did it one random day and I've confirmed they are like you have 30 days and I'm like bye girl.
It absolutely amazes me how when I say I don’t have Facebook people say “I wish I could leave it.” I’ve seen that very response in some of the comments here. Everyone is sharing how long they have been off Facebook like it’s an NA meeting and how long we’ve been “clean.” It is a toxic addiction.
I told my sister I left it shortly after she asked me why I didn't congratulate her on her engagement announcement and pics and that's the first thing she said! "ohhhhhh, I wish I could leave facebook." It's crazy the mental tether it has on everyone! The fact that people are SURPRISED I was able to get away and detox myself is ridiculous, but so is the fact that I ever HAD to detox myself
@@PrincessButtermilk-de4qu Right! The fact that we HAD to. It took me several attempts before I finally was able to leave it completely. It is ridiculous.
So many people convince themselves they "need it for work" or to "keep in touch with friends and family far away." I live 3000 miles from everyone I ever knew and there's this thing called text messaging. And you have way more personal and meaningful conversation. Haven't really lost touch with anyone of any value.
Honestly, sometimes you really can't. I didn't have Facebook until I became the manager at the small business I work for. To be able to access and run my works page, Facebook makes you link a personal account.
@@eliaswilson7911 TH-cam can be a dude building a barnfind Corvette to a make up tutorial. Facebook starts out well intentioned...pics of the family on vacation and as your "friend" list grows it changes. I had 5000 FB friends ( max in 2018) I didn't know 4950 IRL. The shit aint real! Tech has a good side and a bad side.
Deleting FB was the best thing I've ever done. It was a rank fog constantly hanging over me, and I didn't even know it. Suddenly, I can see and breathe again. You never know how bad something is until you're completely away from it, then it will blow your mind. I don't have FB, IG, or TW, and I'm so much happier.
This is exactly how I would describe it too. You definitely worded it better than I could. I remember watching my kids playing or being on vacation thinking about what I could post. I was completely disconnected from my own reality. Now I look back and think about how sick it was.. like things really didn't happen if I didn't tell 300 almost strangers about it. The things it's done to our culture is irreparable.
I deleted my FB account about 6mths after my husband passed away. That's been 8.5yrs now. Our daughters were just 10.5&9.5yrs old when their Daddy passed. We didn't really share that many pictures of them on our page, to begin with, but I realized I was becoming more obsessed with sharing EVERYTHING with my family & friends & then everyone I didn't know. I've never reactivated another account nor do I have Twitter, Instagram, TicTok, or any other social media platforms. I watch It's a Southern Thing & True Crime documentaries on here. That's the only source of social media interaction I have. BUT, I rarely speak on TH-cam unless the comments REALLY speak to me!! Enjoy the moment as if it's your last!! Nobody is promised tomorrow. We, unfortunately, learned that the VERY HARD & UNEXPECTED way, 8.5yrs ago. Our oldest is starting her Sophomore year of college & our youngest is starting her 12th grade year of high school. I couldn't be more prouder than I am of them!! I know their Daddy is watching over them, every step of the way, giving them a lot of support from above!! 🕊️💐🕯️💙 We love & miss you, Honey!! 😢😢😢
I left Facebook 8 months ago, I never look back it was the best movie ever made no politics no arguing no nothing and if people want to get ahold of me they can text me or call me. So delete it and don't look back.
@@historymatters8991 Yeah, I'm not too pleased when I've spent hours in the kitchen preparing a huge holiday meal only to have both parents (who should darn well know better) and their kids be scrolling through their Facebook messages the entire meal. That happened 2 years ago, and it was the last time, too. I put a stop to it. No phones allowed at the table, which was a rule that my kids/grandkids grew up with.
@@ladybee883 I understand that completely. My aunt's, uncle's and cousins are the same way! Everytime we have a family gathering they're on their phones 75% of the time on Facebook, snapchat or instagram. If I was my grandmom, I would ban phones for the hours we were having our family gathering.
This makes me glad I never had anything to do with Facebook... or Twitter... or Instagram... Live your lives, folks. It's no different to smoking. If you don't do it, don't start.
Left FB, Twitter, and the rest of the social media garbage 4 years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made. Usually you guys make me laugh. When I saw the character go back to FB in the end, it made me sad.
Same!! As of Feb 13th, my account has been permanently deleted (not just deactivated). Other than YT, I've deleted all of my social media (Twitter, Instagram and FB!). It's very freeing! 😁😌
I am not on it for friends or family or to post updates about my life or my children. That is what is frustrating to me. I am in so many groups that are extremely helpful. We have health issues, disabilities, a homestead with 7 different animals. There is troubleshooting and a wealth of information to be shared. I need another way to get that. We Dont have it local. No farm meetings. No one to get together with or share ideas or what worked for them. I want to click delete but that is why I don't. That and some Bible studies. Going to have to work on that as I despise Facebook and wish I had never joined. I knew it was a time suck and a waste. Had no use for "social media" and didn't even understand the term. I am no spring chicken either. I hate this.
I quit FB months ago. I have tried to go back a couple times. When you quit for a while and go back, you realize how stupid it is. After a while you don't even miss it.
Call or messenger a Facebook "friend" and ask them to help you move a couch or put in a transmission at 9pm. You will quickly find out what a friend is.
Well, to be fair, I think the people who know how to put in a transmission are greatly dwarfed by the people who don't. Also, the couch move requires at least a three day notice. But you're right. Most of your "Facebook friends" won't be there when you really need them.
I think the main problem is the 9pm thing 😂 i know my freinds would tell me to kiss my ass that late but my mans freinds would be ready to go buy a 24 pack and call putting in the trans a party lol, I agree tho I once had a emergency come up and I had to ask anyone and everyone for help to move ojt of the place i was in as soon as possible, no Facebook freinds helped, they don't care
@@strange-universe Let me introduce you something called "being an adult." It means being a vital member of the workforce while chasing around for your kids. You're lucky if you have a moment to catch your breath. I have to plan days off in advance. And let's talk about if you need someone to help you move ASAP, you have bigger problems than my 3 day notice.
I deleted Facebook from my phone, but kept it on my computer to check up on family and friends who are out of town. I check it every couple of days and am amazed at how much I get done without looking at it every 5 minutes.
I have mine set the same way except I probably only check mine every few weeks. I don't live near any of my close friends or family so it helps me feel a little more in the loop to see their posts every once in awhile.
I left in 2011, when they said if you don’t have one, there must be something wrong with you, or that you must be hiding something. Mafia Wars was fun for a while.
Never embarked on it, never felt the need too. The only social media I have is YT and Instagram, and I only use the latter to check on books stuff, never posted anything. The best thing that ever happened was staying away from that stuff, I get angry easily, so I don't need anything to trigger that. And I'm only a teen, and sometimes I have people that literally talked to me for 2 seconds saying "Do you have Insta? What about Twitter? Snapchat? Facebook?". And they seem to not be able to understand that people are actually able to communicate and live without that stuff.
I left 2 years ago and to be honest I haven't missed it. But I grew up in a generation where we knew how to entertain ourselves and communicate with each other without it.
I still cant figure out what was supposed to be fun about it! I was attacked by people I had gone to school with 50 years ago! I havent seen them since commencement but they felt brave enough to attack my political views. They would never have had the gall to do that to me back in the day. Lefty loonies.
How the hell did I go so long without knowing this channel existed.... I only watched one video, and scrolled thought options after subscribing, and I feel a heavy binge coming on.
The classmates I did meet IRL after a decade were NOTHING like I remembered. A few were still ok but one dude was shooting coke, had PTSD and was going thru a bad divorce.
I had a Facebook account for work because I worked in IT with people all over the world LITERALLY. Since I retired I forget the thing even exists. I will get a notification that I have new messages and think 'What? Where did that come from? Oh yes I still have Facebook.'
Yup. Deleted my FB and Instagram three years ago, everyone acted like I was having some sort of mental health crisis/joining a cult when I said I was getting rid of it. Honestly haven't missed it one little bit. There's that weird urge you have to get over the first few days of wanting to post a picture or post of random stuff as it crops up. But that's dies away pretty quick. I have a little text thread with my sisters and we keep in contact that way. The only annoying thing is when local business "websites" are just a fb page and you can't get the information you need. But that's when you bust out the old yellow pages.
I don’t get it. One time my grandmother scolded me for not reading or replying to a message she sent to me on Messenger (I hadn’t been on in over five years at that point). I told her that I don’t use social media platforms anymore and that she has my phone number. When she told me that the message would get to me faster, I told her that a regular text would because I didn’t have notifications on for anything internet related; I don’t want my phone getting blown up as it’s already enough of a distraction. Even when I used social media, regular phone calls (especially with voicemail) and texts took priority
I know. I was going to give up. Then I fell in love with someone. I still gave up facebook, myspace, and a few other social media. Started to focus to increase my skills and education.
I just deleted Facebook, not deactivated, deleted! Hadn’t been on except twice in 2 years. I refuse to support the cancel culture. So I canceled them😃🙃😳
I've only used Facebook about five times since April 2020 (prior to 2020 it was like every day). The last time was January 6, 2021. I will never get on it ever again.
I left facebook after posts from random people in my feed! and when family members used facebook to announce every little thing they did. Made banana bread, cleaned the kitchen, took the dog for a walk. I don't need a play by play of what you do EVERY day. Been gone for 10 years and don't miss it one bit!
Facebook is largely what you make it. I enjoy keeping up with friends--and finding old ones. (I finally re-connected with a friend on the other side of the globe that I hadn't seen for years.) I can watch my church service livestream. I've gotten to know some of my fellow parishioners in a deeper way than "Hi, how are you doing?" at coffee hour. (I had no idea one gentleman was a fellow comics nerd!) I've found some very supportive groups, and have made some actual friends that I talk to outside of FB. I don't have an addiction to it, I don't have to check in every hour, it doesn't intrude on my life. So I think I'll stay with FB for the time being, as long as I continue to find it rewarding.
Well that's certainly a well-timed video for those of us watching from Australia! It turns out that even if you can't leave fbook it can sure leave you. I bet it's even better that way in the long run. Maybe that's the best way to wean society off it: Just unplug one whole country at a time and see which societies fare better - The ones with it or the ones without.
Deleted mine over a month ago and it's officially gone now (I was alerted to this when my kids' messenger kids suddenly stopped working, despite my wife being attached to it also.) The first week or so was a little tough, but to be honest I don't miss it at all now. I'd been on it since you needed a college email address to join (2004 I think.)
I have been off FB for 7 years. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't hard at first, but after 2 months, I have never ever regretted it. It is really freeing and life is more peaceful without it. The only thing I miss is keeping in touch with extended family.
I didn’t delete, but I did turn off notifications for all my apps, except messaging. I enjoy having the ability to peruse at my leisure, rather than having social apps demand time anytime someone likes or says anything.
It’s an amazing thing to have no social media accounts to worry about; try it for a month and watch your stress levels drop. And yes, there is plenty to do and enjoy without being surgically attached to a phone.
Video: You cant leave Facebook
Most of the comments: I left and never went back
6 years strong! I am so much happier! (No TV, too!) 🥳🎉🌈
They left and went straight to TH-cam and Instagram. 🤣
Willing to bet 90% who claim to have left are either lying or back under an alias.
I left Facebook and it was the greatest
Social media is more antisocial than social.
Just about 10 years ago it was the complete opposite which is pretty sad
This is literally a quote from an old “inspirational” Facebook video about the “dangers” of technology. I can’t remember the name of who made it but h3h3 made a video about it back in the day.
Should be antisocial distancing

left FB several years ago, best thing I ever did.
Out of sight.out of mind. It's a freeing experience. Left back in October 2018.
Good for you.👍
I left in 18 also. Best thing I did.
Same here. I just watch you tube now. I miss some friends and family because I live abroad, but in the end... totally worth it.
I’ve been FB free since January 2017! Insta free since 2019 when it started having so many adverts. I’ve never had the others.
Left without saying a word. I was running a few big groups. Didn't even leave them a replacement admin. No one has texted, call, or email. No one has checked in. Hundreds of family and friends I personally knew...
Instead of happy birthdays, I send a card, through the mail. Special moments, I text and call family. I don't publish it like a tabloid.
It's an addiction. Find something to do to keep away for 30 days. Play a new game, start a big project, anything. Eventually you get to be that person that's say "I don't have a Facebook account. You will have to text me on my phone."
Great suggestion, the thirty days!💛
Saaaaaame. Cold turkey. They hardly even cared. The people that did care though can still text me but it cut out so much toxicity in my life.
I decided I’d spend the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency to not post. I’ve been mostly successful. I guess this means I’m doomed to go back.

I’ve never even used Facebook. I have an account, but I haven’t logged in since it was created.
Getting rid of Facebook was one of my best decisions, right behind not using Twitter
twitter is okay if you follow the right people otherwise it’s hot garbage
Twitter is worse than Facebook. I had to get rid of both.
I had a Twitter account for like 2 weeks, then I deleted it.

I never had it and never wanted it😂
Don't go back, it isn't worth it! I haven't been back on since like 7 years too.
I left 10 years ago. Never looked back and happy without it.
I wish I had it destroyed my family
You've missed nothing. Carry on.
Never got Facebook in the first place, never intend to.
Me either 🙌🏾👏🏾
Same
smart move if my biz get started not going to include them or the "others"
You aren't missing one thing that's for sure
That's been my attitude regarding Twitter and Instagram, although I do have Facebook.
Social media is like those movies where the lead gains the power to hear everyone's unfiltered thoughts and instantly regrets it
True and has only gotten worse in the last 10 years!
I deleted Facebook from my phone, but kept it on my computer to check up on family and friends who are out of town. I check it every couple of days and am amazed at how much I get done without looking at it every 5 minutes.
I have mine set the same way except I probably only check mine every few weeks. I don't live near any of my close friends or family so it helps me feel a little more in the loop to see their posts every once in awhile.
I left in 2011, when they said if you don’t have one, there must be something wrong with you, or that you must be hiding something. Mafia Wars was fun for a while.
I have never joined Facebook and never will.
Never embarked on it, never felt the need too. The only social media I have is YT and Instagram, and I only use the latter to check on books stuff, never posted anything. The best thing that ever happened was staying away from that stuff, I get angry easily, so I don't need anything to trigger that. And I'm only a teen, and sometimes I have people that literally talked to me for 2 seconds saying "Do you have Insta? What about Twitter? Snapchat? Facebook?". And they seem to not be able to understand that people are actually able to communicate and live without that stuff.
“I have a cell phone. That’s it”
I left in 2010...best day of my life.
This video is hilarious!
I left 2 years ago and to be honest I haven't missed it. But I grew up in a generation where we knew how to entertain ourselves and communicate with each other without it.
I still cant figure out what was supposed to be fun about it! I was attacked by people I had gone to school with 50 years ago! I havent seen them since commencement but they felt brave enough to attack my political views. They would never have had the gall to do that to me back in the day. Lefty loonies.
Can't relate, never had it in the first place 😎
That BBQ sandwich looked good! Great video!
Just left around Thanksgiving and still loving it!
It's been almost 2 years and I do not miss it all!
How the hell did I go so long without knowing this channel existed.... I only watched one video, and scrolled thought options after subscribing, and I feel a heavy binge coming on.
Never started with Facebook ans never had to quit.
Same~
Same here!
I envy you!
I've been facebook-free for more than 50 years so far. One day at a time. :)
Best PSA of 2021, so far 👍
I cackled at the bot comments
I left in 2013, still feels great! right on!
I stayed off for a month and felt better. And that whole deal about classmates who never talked to you before or since is so true...umm yall lol
The classmates I did meet IRL after a decade were NOTHING like I remembered. A few were still ok but one dude was shooting coke, had PTSD and was going thru a bad divorce.
🤣 Boy is this *goood!!* Awesome depiction, perfect! You nailed it! 🤣
I had a Facebook account for work because I worked in IT with people all over the world LITERALLY. Since I retired I forget the thing even exists. I will get a notification that I have new messages and think 'What? Where did that come from? Oh yes I still have Facebook.'
That will be me someday. Already becoming truer by the day.
We should take Facebook and push it somewhere else
That's just crazy enough to GET US ALL KILLED!
Deleted my account in 2015. One of the best things I did that year.
Yup. Deleted my FB and Instagram three years ago, everyone acted like I was having some sort of mental health crisis/joining a cult when I said I was getting rid of it. Honestly haven't missed it one little bit.
There's that weird urge you have to get over the first few days of wanting to post a picture or post of random stuff as it crops up. But that's dies away pretty quick. I have a little text thread with my sisters and we keep in contact that way. The only annoying thing is when local business "websites" are just a fb page and you can't get the information you need. But that's when you bust out the old yellow pages.
I don’t get it. One time my grandmother scolded me for not reading or replying to a message she sent to me on Messenger (I hadn’t been on in over five years at that point). I told her that I don’t use social media platforms anymore and that she has my phone number. When she told me that the message would get to me faster, I told her that a regular text would because I didn’t have notifications on for anything internet related; I don’t want my phone getting blown up as it’s already enough of a distraction. Even when I used social media, regular phone calls (especially with voicemail) and texts took priority
FB just needs to bring back the dislike button
Its because FB thinks the dislike button isn't politically correct.😂
TH-cam doesnt have a comment dislike, even though it shows a button. It doesnt change the number
@Velvet Thunder teens don’t use Facebook
I know. I was going to give up. Then I fell in love with someone. I still gave up facebook, myspace, and a few other social media. Started to focus to increase my skills and education.
Facebook gone, Twitter gone.....life is better.
Left in 2018 and it was one of the best decisions ever. As well as Instagram and Snapchat
I just deleted Facebook, not deactivated, deleted! Hadn’t been on except twice in 2 years. I refuse to support the cancel culture. So I canceled them😃🙃😳
Left all social media ( only had fb) in 2016, haven’t missed , and I’m very happy for it.
I've only used Facebook about five times since April 2020 (prior to 2020 it was like every day). The last time was January 6, 2021. I will never get on it ever again.
Said goodbye to facebook and haven't looked back. Life is actually sweeter!
I mean, I can simply launch a missile at Facebook if you want
Yes and when you are can you also nuke Twitter?
Please do. Add Twitter and Instagram while you're at it.
please do, it ruined over 500,000 marriages last year.
I left facebook after posts from random people in my feed! and when family members used facebook to announce every little thing they did. Made banana bread, cleaned the kitchen, took the dog for a walk. I don't need a play by play of what you do EVERY day. Been gone for 10 years and don't miss it one bit!
Leaving fb was the best thing I've ever done.
I checked Facebook on my phone 3 times while watching this video on my laptop.
Facebook is largely what you make it. I enjoy keeping up with friends--and finding old ones. (I finally re-connected with a friend on the other side of the globe that I hadn't seen for years.) I can watch my church service livestream. I've gotten to know some of my fellow parishioners in a deeper way than "Hi, how are you doing?" at coffee hour. (I had no idea one gentleman was a fellow comics nerd!) I've found some very supportive groups, and have made some actual friends that I talk to outside of FB.
I don't have an addiction to it, I don't have to check in every hour, it doesn't intrude on my life.
So I think I'll stay with FB for the time being, as long as I continue to find it rewarding.
The "bot" stuff was so perfect! 🤣🤣🤣
I left FB, too.
I gave an announcement and I left...months ago.
The beard is looking AWESOME!!!
One sec, lemme just like this video
Well that's certainly a well-timed video for those of us watching from Australia!
It turns out that even if you can't leave fbook it can sure leave you. I bet it's even better that way in the long run. Maybe that's the best way to wean society off it: Just unplug one whole country at a time and see which societies fare better - The ones with it or the ones without.
Deleted mine over a month ago and it's officially gone now (I was alerted to this when my kids' messenger kids suddenly stopped working, despite my wife being attached to it also.) The first week or so was a little tough, but to be honest I don't miss it at all now. I'd been on it since you needed a college email address to join (2004 I think.)
I have been off FB for 7 years. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't hard at first, but after 2 months, I have never ever regretted it. It is really freeing and life is more peaceful without it. The only thing I miss is keeping in touch with extended family.
Call them. Send a card.
I left FB back in 2011 and never looked back. Fake friends and thats all.
I didn’t delete, but I did turn off notifications for all my apps, except messaging. I enjoy having the ability to peruse at my leisure, rather than having social apps demand time anytime someone likes or says anything.
Interesting. God bless and have a wonderful day
It’s an amazing thing to have no social media accounts to worry about; try it for a month and watch your stress levels drop. And yes, there is plenty to do and enjoy without being surgically attached to a phone.
I deleted my account 5 years ago and haven’t looked back since, I really don’t miss it at all.
Left on 2010...no looking back.
FB asked me why i was leaving and i said" im leaving for antartica to prove the 'thing' exists.
I deleted my Facebook about 4 years ago. Talking to a person in person is much better than hiding behind a screen.
I stopped using Facebook 8 years ago.
Took a two week break from Facebook over four years ago...and they aren’t up yet.
Left Facebook 7 years ago...it's more annoying than anything
I've never been on FB and don't intend to ever go on it.
"Bye Felicia" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
never got the whole idea of putting my face in a book.. 😵😜
I left Facebook and have not regretted it
