As part of my ongoing quest to go my own way, one of the most difficult things was to withdraw from social media.

These apps are a trap.

Facebook is just a glorified advertising network that uses individual's likes and dislikes to tailor sales and marketing campaigns.

The perception that it's important to be liked has driven people to hand over copious amounts of information about themselves.

I'm happy to be rid of the validation treadmill.

Bye bye Facebook. Bye bye Instagram. Bye bye Twitter.

If I feel the need for social interactions I go to the pub.

Cheers!
