Why I’ve deleted my social media accounts.
For those that know me, and there isn’t many of you. I struggle with having empathy for people. I dont have the social graces that people are innately born with, I feel that I can fake it, but it takes a lot of energy.
Each social media platform is just another sap of energy on my already busy life. Deleting apps reduces these energy vampires and allows me to focus on things that I want to do.
- Facebook Chat (I need this for my parents, its too hard to educate them on anything else)
- Person Gmail.
- This blog ( Nobody reads this so, maybe I should trash it)
- Google Chat (If I could delete this, I would).
- Signal (This is probably the only protocol I want to keep)
