What is your opinion on removing yourself from social media websites?

Asked by Zakat (415points) January 12th, 2013 from iPhone

I recently went through a terrible break-up because the woman in question wasn’t over her ex. The guy emotionally torments her and gave her an ultimatum that confused her so badly that she decided she needed space to figure things out.

In the end, I found myself desperately wanting to strangle him for his actions—and as I was staring at his Facebook profile page, thinking of messaging him and giving him a piece of my mind…I just deleted my profile. Not deactivated, deleted.

I initially did it in anger but it has since been one of the most liberating things I think I’ve ever done. Ha.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with removing themselves from social media? And why do you think it’s so liberating?
