Why breaking it off with social media is like breaking up with a boyfriend / girlfriend:
1. You broke it off because Social Media was monopolizing all of your time, distracting you even while you were at work.
2. You feel like you shared TMI too soon. Before your first date was over, you had already been pressured to give up wayyy too much personal information about yourself. And that stuff is out there. You can’t take it back. Even though you pretended to be cool about it, it was always in the back of your mind.
3. This is the 12th time you have sworn off Social Media this month. Your friends have started to make fun of your on again off again relationship.
4. Once you call it quits, you:
A) Spend time obsessing over what is being said about you in your absence.
B) Secretly want Social Media to not move on without you even though you were the one to break it off.
C) Want all your friends to quit hanging out with Social Media as a show of loyalty towards you, their real friend.
5. The only reason you stuck it our for as long as you did is because your friends and family are so crazy about Social Media. In fact you are suspicious that they like social media better than you. But that’s crazy, right? (see point 4.C)
