I did that for three years and regret it. I realize now that I should have just shaped my use to fit my needs: unfriend or unfollow people I don&#x27;t care to follow, write more messages rather than scrolling through the newsfeed, and join events and groups more deliberately.<p>Now I actually use it to keep in touch with people I care about, rather than just pretend that&#x27;s what I&#x27;m doing.<p>I missed out on some things during my three years with Facebook off, and although I learned so much from having done it, I wouldn&#x27;t do it again.
