So so much accuracy there! Couldn't agree more with pretty much everything you've listed as reasons. I salute your move and hope I'll be able to shake free of SM too at some stage..I wish being an entrepreneur didn't mean you had to engage with SM so much

That is a major complication in that it is so effective as a marketing tool for so many! I'm sure you will have the wisdom to navigate it better than I have. So nice to hear from you! Miss your great questions!

As always such an honest and vulnerable sharing. I’m in the same space, just might make the same decision soon too.

Hear! Hear! If you need some fuel for the Russian literature fire, please check out A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. It’s great for people like me who struggle to recognize a good thing when it is in front of me (my own “me” problem)

I have been feeling this for a while now! Might be just what I needed to get off as well. Thanks for sharing this. This line hit me "I am fatigued by the maintenance of that gap" With what people share and the realities of life.

I think this is the start of a floodgate of others joining… definitely purposeful to share thank you.

I agree so much with what youre saying about strangers living kind of rent free one’s mind making me insecure about my life and even how I look… and I do not know these people or who they are really.

Not one Tech company is addressing the addictiveness either…

Your post is really making me think a lot!!!
