I thought everyone sort of quit Facebook, to be honest.

I deactivated my Facebook account about two years ago. At first, I intended it to be temporary, but I never got around to reactivating it, and felt better without it.

All it did was amplify my insecurities by demonstrating how I fail to measure up to my peers. And yes, I know, the thing about Facebook is that everybody is only positing the best parts of their lives and you're not getting a representative look, that you're "comparing their front stage to your backstage." But even if I hold that variable constant and only compare the best parts of my current experience to the best parts of theirs, I still come up wanting. Pretty sure it's not a perception thing, and that I didn't do something cool like hang glide in Thailand or get my work published only to forget about it. I'd wager that my self-perception of being an unaccomplished and boring person is pretty accurate.

Although I started an Instagram for my photos, and now I'm pretty much back where I started with facing an onslaught of examples of how everybody else is better than I am.

Livejournal is sorely missed. It was okay to be a loser there.

Still the remaining reason I don't deactivate is to get tour/new release news from bands I follow.

If there was an app or website used by the majority of bands that announced new music/tours, I would ditch FB in a heartbeat.
