Showing Original Post only (View all)Deleted my Facebook account a week ago -- crazy how addictive it was [View all]
Turns out I was really, really hooked on the dopamine or whatever from those likes. And I still have the muscle memory of just flipping it on in my phone when I have nothing else to do (that spot on my home screen is now my guitar tuner app, so I'm getting much better at humming the note E).
I still have Whatsapp because I live overseas, so I'm sure Facebook still spies on me, but I hadn't realized until I broke the cord just how much it was impacting my behavior and mental well-being.
