"I'm deleting my Facebook," he posted to 1,726 people who didn't care. We have all seen the person or maybe we have been the person who has had enough with social media and decided to delete Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/etc. This hero normally doubles down extra hard on a different social platform for a little bit before quietly reactivating whichever account they deleted. Maybe they got a few hateful comments, got too wrapped up in an argument or were just wasting too much time reading life updates from people they spoke to once in high school.
Whatever the reason, they ultimately felt they weren't able to find a balance between IRL and URL, so they shut down their URL dumping ground to focus more on the IRL dumping ground aka life. The problem is, both of these things are merging into one as we head in to "The Fütche." Whether you like it or not, in 2075, you're probably going to have to keep in touch with your grandkids via Google Brain or some shit.
If you truly have an Internet addiction, I'm not saying you should keep your social media pages activated. If you are starting to have real negative consequences in your life as a result of too much time spent online, please hit up Dr. Drew. I'm just saying, totally and completely deleting your social media is a little selfish. People want to reach out and wish you happy birthday on Facebook. Not everyone has your phone number saved. It may sound crazy, but the "New phone who dis" meme started as a result of mad people actually losing all their phone contacts. An old friend from years ago may be moving to a new town and only realize through social media that you are living there as well. By deleting a social media page, you are intentionally cutting off a connection to a group of people that you curated yourself.
If being online is bringing too much negativity into your life, well, that's kinda on you, my guy. In that case, stop following so many negative people, news outlets, brands, etc. Maybe you're following too many Instagram celebrities who, picture by picture, stunt on your entire existence and make you, in turn, feel like complete shit. Say fuck 'em by unfollowing and go get out there in the real world and chill with a super-rich person for a little bit and you'll realize they are just as sad as you.
Just like life itself, social media is about finding a balance. Plus, if you delete your Twitter, who will retweet that dank meme I just posted? Again, you don't need to be a selfish little bitch about this. My memes are hella dank and people need to see them.
Everyone, please, just get it together. Stay positive. Relax. And we can all get out there and get these retweets together.
