34 more days…..only 34 more days…totally doable…..right?
Last week, when I first started this whole giving up facebook for lent, I really was behind it 100%. Like I previously explained, I felt I desperately needed to break away from the messed up world known as facebook. When a person is trying to go “cold-turkey” on an addiction that beginning phase comes with a lot of optimism. Then after a few days comes the withdrawals. Recently I have been beating myself up for the choice i have made.. “How can I give up facebook for 40 days? Couldn’t I just take a break for a week? Is facebook really that bad? I mean there’s so many good things about it! Namely being I get to keep in touch with people and not feel so out of the loop”…I know this is only my addiction talking. I know there is a lot of great things about facebook, but this isn’t just about the bad and the good of facebook. This is about me proving to myself that I can live a happy life facebook free…well maybe not facebook free (once this is over, i will stay a member of facebook), but just a lot less facebook.Yes keeping in touch with people is great, but do I really have to go on facebook 20 times a day to that? ….Who knows how my views or attitude toward facebook will change once this is all over,but for now Im counting down the days…
A few points on the progress…
-I no longer stare at my computer screen when i pull out my laptop. Actually I just do something else then pulling out my laptop at all.
-When Im on the computer I find myself coming on this site a lot more than I use to… am I looking for that social connection?
-After having a conversation with a friend I hadn’t seen in about a week, i realized I have no idea whats going on in his life or any other of my friends for that matter.
As a side note, I am so behind this decision I have made that this morning I went on my college email for this first time since I started this, thinking I could just quickly glance to see if there was any important mail. From the moment I saw the facebook emails with words “comments’, “friend requests’, I quickly shut it out. I think I am just going to ask a friend to go on it for me and delete them all so I can check my email in peace. …34 more days
Workity Work work work
Btw notice the ugly yellow mustard color behind me? yup the whole office is that color..
I miss him
Over time Facebook has led me to believe that I lose crucial brain cells everytime I read/stalk status updates, group joinings, ppl’s walls or random/useless information. I have considered deleting it all together, but when you get through all the junk facebook entails you can see the main purpose is pretty beneficial. Always keep in touch with friends/classmates or family. I think this is pretty important for various reasons and usually fight ppl with this evidence when they claim they don’t have a facebook. Anyways the other day, on my way to work, I heard as someone called in on z100 and stated they were giving up facebook for lent. Genius. Thats what i wanted/needed. A facebook cleanse. To just not CARE anymore. I mean do I really need to know that Jane doe is sitting in traffic or that john smith is depressed again? So I am into day 2 of my facebook hiatus and I have slowly been learning how strong my addiction actually is. I have learned
1. Pretty much the only reason I open up my laptop is to go on facebook. Everything else comes after. So now when I open up my laptop I pretty much just stare at the screen trying to think of what I could do.
2. Everytime I think of someone else (boyfriend, friend, random person I haven’t talk to in a while) I think let me check their facebook. I apparently did this subconsciously cause i only just realized that I do this now.
3. I was pretty much on facebook at least 15 times a day.
Im sure there are many more things to realize. Maybe I’ll write a paper on the subject. Im sure with time Ill forget about facebook and find other things to take up most of my time. But until now till that time it will probably not be easy…
So I have the unfortunate news that I have never participated in Chat Roulette. Partly this is because I am terrified to do it on my own, since I am not one for meeting new ppl or seeing nude men masturbate…. Anyways, I am waiting for my friend Ana to come do it with me, hopefully a bottle wine will be present as well. When that happens Ill be sure to take some interesting screenshots :)
