Leaving social media has been a life-changing decision for me, but not everyone sees it that way.
Facing Social Stigma
Some friends have struggled to accept my choice, finding my preference for phone conversations and in-person meetings rude.
The Real Social Disconnect
I've found that social media often lacks genuine social interaction, leading me to believe its downsides will eventually lead to its decline.
Standing Firm
Despite the pushback, I believe it's essential to stand by my choice to communicate differently. I also make sure to offer alternative means of contact to maintain relationships.
Valid Preference
Expressing a preference for real communication is valid, and I've discovered that new friendships can be built on alternative communication methods. In a digital world dominated by social media, sometimes going against the norm can be the most rewarding choice.
