Want to delete social media but feel like I have something to prove

It is never going to happen.

And you'll never get closure, it's just a dragon you chase and never catch. There's no such thing as closure.

They won't want you, if they didn't then, why would they now?

You're never going to get that pleasure of some sort of revenge or "showing" them.

They simply don't care about you or what your issues are.

That's living in the past. You need to be looking toward the future if you want to accomplish something. Find something you want to do and put your energy into that.

In the future, revenge is something you do immediately, not let it fester and make you get into "what I should have done" mentality. It's never going to work out.

I deleted all forms of social media and am much happier as a result. I highly suggest it. Those people will find out about your success in one way or another.

I want all those high school girls to lust after me and then delete my account knowing I gained the upper hand.

And how in the world will that actually benefit you?

Quit obsessing over them.

First off... The other posters before me are right. In a perfect world you wouldn't care what these women think of you. But I'm a huge proponent of deleting social media, so let me try to spin this problem around in a way that is satisfactory for you.

Close your eyes. Imagine 3 months after you delete your social media. One or more of these women have noticed you are no longer orbiting them. You haven't "Liked" their photos. You haven't retweeted their breakfast. Whatever. They search for your profile. Poof! Gone! You haven't updated anything in 3 months. You disappeared from their world. You are now mysterious. Their interest is peaked. Not knowing what happened to you is driving them crazy. You start receiving some random "Hey you!" texts. You respond or don't as you see fit.

Is that enough of a final "🖕" for you?

Honestly I get more attention from women in real life after deleting social media months ago and going monk mode. It's like people don't know you unless you have face book. So when they see you they appreciate your time more.

Give it a try and see if it works for you. I feel like I'm doing a small part for society as a whole by only allowing people my time IRL. If more people liked and shared in real life this crap hole might be a half-decent place for once.

Deleted mine at the start of last year. After 3 days I didn't miss it ever again.

Slideri812 · 2019-01-07T05:59:42+00:00

Let it go, delete them. You are still seeking validation from these females and it's never gonna happen.

Live with the satisfaction that you have moved on to a better life, one that only you and the people in your future know. The past doesn't give a shit, and you should stop caring about that part of your past as well.

Still wanting an upper hand to the past with females that could care less if you are alive or dead is only feeding your ego, you make no difference to them. And they in turn should make no difference to you.

You can't be red pill if you are stilling clinging to the past, still yearning for female validation from the females that didn't give it to you and the females you are supposed to be GYOW from.

Disbursed-operant · 2019-01-07T06:09:59+00:00

Just delete that shit man. You want them to be all envious? Create a linked in profile and just update it as you progress in your career. At least then you have something professional.

LogicalAnswers · 2019-01-07T11:05:19+00:00

Unfollow anyone thats pulling you back to the past. Seriously. You’re clinging to the past. You need to let these bitches go, completely cut them out if they arent adding any value to your life

Getting rid of all my social media last year was one of the best things I ever did for myself. It took me awhile to ditch LinkedIn, but that got much easier when the political spilled over.

I am much better off as a result.

The people who care about you will find you. How small that number is, however, is a bit frightening.

rooster-one4 · 2019-01-07T15:10:55+00:00

wanting closure is just another way of saying wanting validation, even in this point is in a type of vengeance. it's unhealthy.

[deleted] · 2019-01-07T23:25:49+00:00

Prove your point without social media. That shit is scary in how they track you and everything you do online. Read it up.

You don’t, Reddit and other MGTOW groups are also part of social media. Just keep the ones that makes you comfortable and happy like mgtow groups. For me, I don’t even have any fkin friends both rl and internet so I don’t even need FB or instagram and of course I never even think about dating especially since I have my 2D waifus and yeah 2D can easily fulfill my lust. But of course I still have my red pill rage and often seeing women lose it makes me satisfied. But I think all you need for social media is a belonging where you can express yourself freely and if you need to lust off, fapping is enough.. for me at least. As for the red pill rage, I am still trying to get over it.

Tip: If you’re having trouble unplugging yourself from Facebook, start muting everyone one-by-one as you see them pop up in the News Feed. Maybe just keep your closest friends unmuted.

It’ll be weird at first but you’ll slowly get accustomed to having an uneventful Facebook feed. And your closest friends will hopefully be reachable through other/better platforms (my boys are on Discord).

I muted so many FB friends that it became fairly easy to finally unplug. You realize that nothing of value is being missed.

I unfollowed the girls from high school that turned me down. They haven't unfollowed me, and they are the first people to watch my story lmao. I don't really understand it, but they're gonna watch me become the best version of myself just like every other person that watches my story. And they won't get to be a part of that process. That's as good as "revenge" gets haha. I won't lose any sleep over their decisions.

So my best advice to you is to unfollow or block if you have to. That way you don't have to constantly see them in your feed, otherwise you'll think about them all the time

You become "mysterious"; or at least a bit of a "mystery."
