I ditched Twitter most recently and outside of coming on here for discussion I'm done with social media. I don't think I was ever much of a participant in any of them outside of Reddit. I text with friends and family I know personally and that's it. Good old school texting. I grew up in the "anonymous forum" internet like this site and that's the only environment I ever wanted to talk in anyway. I have an extremely unique name, meaning if you were to have my first and last name you are highly likely to be able to find me--so that might be a big reason I was always reluctant.
Don't miss it at all. I'm supposed to be of the "connected" generation and I can and have gone days without my phone. It's a great feeling learning to disconnect. Understanding that if the phone rings or you get a message--you are allowed to ignore it. Yes, I still spend a lot of time online but it's a totally different feeling of freedom when you're the master in that relationship.
