Yup, I deactivated my Facebook account. Why? First and foremost, it has become an enormous amount of distraction to me. I’m getting hooked on it and I need to lay off a bit. There was not a moment at work (Yup, it’s getting that bad. My colleagues noticed this.) that I check on my Facebook account. The only way I could think of doing this is with drastic measures. And that is: by deactivating the account. I’ll probably start hearing echo of voices “why why why” in the air, it’s just getting a little bit too much to catch up with. Losing that amount of social connections from that network will be a regret, but my social connections has always been around reality & the world wide web.

I figured that I made a lot of connections by meeting people as much as I can, whether it be for good reasons or not. On the web, I make connections with knowledge & thought sharing. Twitter plays a major part in this. I do have my own personal website to post my thoughts. So, I guess, losing some connections for a while might be a good change. I know I’ll be back on Facebook, but when, I have no idea yet. So far, at this moment, it is clear to me.

It’s a good thing that Facebook retains my account to allow me to comeback, while they probably noticed the effect of Facebook Trauma & at the same time tells you, “Hey, you’ll be back. So, we’re gonna keep some of your stuff.”. Good tactic. Borderline bad for privacy. It depends on how Facebook upholds their own set of strict privacy rules while protecting our data.
