"Yes" ... This was my answer to the question "Are you sure you want to disable your account?" ...
I left Facebook. Not for ideological considerations or to show any disapproval of social networks, on the contrary, I liked Facebook, but for strictly personal reasons.
A list of eight hundred "friends" and seven years of "facebookism" gone in smoke. Goodbye my forever companions and it was a pleasure to meet you, you other than Mark Zuckerberg has put us on the same path. Gone are the "Likes", the "Hello my fans", the "what a beautiful picture!" And the "happy birthday" drowning your wall the 12th of october of each year ...
After the first hours (I'm not exaggerating ... I'm one of those who are attached), the habit of no longer having your Facebook starts to settle slowly and the more time passes, the more You see that your life is no longer the same ... It belongs to you a little more, inevitably you do not share anything any more and, little by little, you lose habits, and you discover new truths. Truths, but I remember eight ...
1. Now you're alone ... And you're not prepared for that ...
As soon as you leave Facebook, you realize that you are no longer in contact with many people or, to be more precise, you are no longer in contact with anyone ...
You're lost ... You do not know what to do anymore ... Still, you're not going to start sending SMS, or calling people on the phone ... It's not done any more ... And suppose you're pushing Further to the Whatsapp or the Skype, Facebook remains irreplaceable because it is not really contact with the friends in question (especially since the majority are knowledge), but because they share ...
It is this tendency to play your life in open doors coupled with your instinct of voyeur that make all the success of this social network ...
Now that you left, you're alone with your life ... No one will see it, but mostly you will not see more than other
2. You become completely disconnected ...
No Facebook, you're not aware of anything ... You do not know who got married, who had a child who has lost a loved one, or what Girl is free now ... In short, the nothingness ... You start even to regret the statutes that appear on your wall like "feeling disappointed ...No more ass paper in the toilet" or "I'm sick", Things you had absolutelyno care, but now you miss ...
Worse. You are no longer invited to anything. Inevitably, it is no longer done to invite people by text and Facebook fault, you do not have this little message "muche stuff invites you to the bidron rack ..."
Henceforth, for want of checking the wall of your page, you will be satisfied with that of your room ...
3. In public places, you look like an idiot ...
Since you do not have a Facebook account, you are the only one not to have your head bent ... No need to plant his eyes in his Smartphone ... And besides it serves what to have a Smartphone If there is not Facebook ?! Luckily, around you, everyone with their heads down and nobody see you, otherwise you will look like an alien ...
But to the limit, this is not serious. The harshest of trials is that which is done to you by those who are at your table. You are the only one to make the conversation and nobody listens to you ... And the only reaction you'll have, after you have condescended to raise your head to look in your eyes is "excuse me, you said "... But the" must "remains the situation where two of your companions raise their heads together laughing, one telling the other" you read the status of Momo ?! What an idiot! " And you, in your chair, are the only one who does not know what they are talking about and you sketch a little smile just to save face. A smile of idiot
But luckily there are steemit...
Steemit the only platform that rewards its users, not by likes but by money, then it's finished I QUIT FACEBOOK, I will dedicate myself to make the platform even better so that finally in the future years I could say that i was among the first used steemit and that I contributed to its success.
