I don’t really know how to talk about this, but when I broke up with my partner, it was very painful. I didn’t want to block her on Facebook, so I stopped using Facebook gradually, and haven’t now for years.

And I think I really did lose a lot of friends and social connection. I’m basically a loner now, years later, but I didn’t used to be.

I’m not very good at staying in touch with friends; remembering birthdays, reaching out, organizing hangouts, and stuff like that. Facebook helped me with all of that. And when I took it out of my life, something is missing now.
