Ditching social media didn't bother me one bit.

Not at all but nobody ever knows or wishes you happy birthday when you're off it, so it becomes FOMO City, Your Head USA.

Eh, I forget my own birthday half the time.

Sorry TC, but happy birthday!

This issue doesn't really bother me. I still have a Facebook account but rarely go on it. I keep it active mostly because I made a ton of friends playing WoW and other games from 2010 on, so that is the main platform where we can stay in touch freely over the years.

But a couple of years ago, I actually went into my settings and switched it to where my birthday is hidden. Just because I always hated getting all of those "fake", generic birthday wishes from all my facebook friends. I just didn't want to deal with that anymore.

Anyone who means anything to me I see in real life on a regular basis, and they always text or call me to wish me a happy birthday. That's what's important to me.

If social media affects your wellness there's an underlying problem that ditching social media isn't really going to do much to alleviate.

As exemplified by this topic.

Only a couple people did send a birthday message to me (just female friends) via text so I suppose I should've seen this coming after keeping my FB deactivated for over 7 months so far.

Feels a little bad but whatever, least it's a good indicator of who's really your friend and who isn't.
