I did it! I went without the social networking giant for two solid months. Let me give you a quick recount of how it was without Facebook for two months:
Three days in : Feels like the effort to stay off Fb is too high. Almost like social suicide. Trying to make up for it by concentrating on my blog and using Google Plus. I'm just one login away from FB and that makes things worse.
A week later: Mistakenly opened the website many times, forgetting that I was no longer part of it.
Two weeks in: Urge to visit FB has lessened. Exams, other websites and music have covered for it! Great timing.
A month later: Almost forgot about it! Some people were shocked that I deactivated it without any 'announcement'. Exams in full swing, so I couldn't care less.
After a month and a half: Holidays went by with films and books, though I occasionally thought about FB and how it might have changed.
Current position: There are a few groups that I have missed out on. People asking me whether I checked their FB pics and some of them are tempting me to re-activate it again! I might actually do that, but still postponing it.
Edit: 4-6-12 marks my re-entry into Facebook. Well played, Mark Zuckerberg.
