I Finally Deleted Facebook

A meaningful relationship with hundreds of people?

My breakup with Facebook is long overdue. We had a fun relationship at first, but it turned toxic quickly.

When I first created my account back in 2005, I enjoyed spending time on the platform. I uploaded photos and commented on people's statuses.

I “spied” on my college crush and obsessed over what their “like” meant. Does he like me back? I wondered.

The platform grew and grew. Instead of becoming a tool that brought people together, it turned into a hate-spreading machine. The comment section is a battlefield. Facebook gave away our data, and Zuckerberg doesn’t seem sorry.

It took me a while to realize that I wasted too much time on Facebook. Whenever I entered the app I felt overwhelmed by all the hate and ignorance. Yet, I kept scrolling and scrolling. I became addicted to the endless scroll.

It came to a point where I hardly saw any content from my friends. I kept seeing ads, people you may know suggestions, and repeated posts I had already interacted with in the past.

These are some of the things I told myself not to delete my account:

These excuses are no longer valid. They’re also not true.

Do I have meaningful relationships with hundreds of people?

No.

The people I genuinely care about have my number, email, or address. The people who truly love me remember my birthday without a Facebook reminder.

There are plenty of ways to stay informed that don’t involve social media.

I exported my photo albums.
