Very interesting.

I deactivated my face book account well over a year ago now.

I felt it was making me feel worse and affecting my mental health.

When those around me found out I had deactivated, their reaction to it was one of shock and I almost felt I’d done something wrong in lots of their eyes. I stuck to my guns and stayed off there, it was difficult at first as it was very habit forming and I did for the first month find myself popping on , in the odd occasion to check it out then deactivating again after a quick check. I soon got used to not even bothering to check it out. I Honestly felt better for it. I don’t miss it now.

I realise for some it has some good uses and if used correctly then could be a useful tool, in my opinion it’s mostly not used well and can make people feel bad...I’m glad I’m not on there anymore, that’s just my thoughts

I have a Facebook page, I have kept it although I never find anyone I am looking for.

Keep saying will take it down, although I would miss all those attractive women, girls trying to be my friend. It makes a sixty seven year old Man very happy although a little confused ??? Lol
