<p>I don't know why I feel this way but I feel stressed whenever I go on facebook and catch up with what everyone has been up to. I unintentionally stalk on people and spend long time on facebook and afterwards, I feel like I wasted so much time and that depresses me. I want to quit but once I get on facebook, hours fly by so I just want to not have fb account at all or deactivate it for a very very long time but then I feel nervous somehow. I feel like I am going to miss out so much or lose connections or whatever. Idk, but somehow I am afraid to deactivate my fb for more than a certain period but then I am not happy using fb.
If I make sense at all...is anyone with me?
solutions?!</p>
<p>Don’t log in or deactivate your account for a small period of time. If you are afraid of people contacting you, set the account so that you are notified about “wall posts” and “messages” by email.</p>
<p>I understand what you mean by “losing connections”. I got over the fact that I will lose connections and don’t find myself on facebook much these days. The people that I maintain connections to (basically, my true friends) have my phone number or email address.</p>
