I question this whole way that we have conversations, these forums. I am in it I know. But I have stopped before.
I would say this is like a drug. You dont have to have real relationships, just this clever witty posts.
At least we have a Shabbos and Shule to talk to a real person.
But why is this mode so preferred. I am guilty as the next one. If not here, I am on twitter, same thing.
I want to stop it but I am so addicted I cannot.
The instant Shabbos is over i am on these forums or twitter or the other one. I stopped fb but i always get suckered back in. I hate fb with a passion but still i go on it, just a little.
To stop you have to make a very concious effort and rid of the smart phone. I know i am saying the most obvious things and i am not doing them.
I can give up fb except there are some people that is the only way to communicate with them.
IOW, I want my old old life back when I wasn’t busy in the posting business.
