Am I the only one who does this?
My boyfriend just broke up with me and I delete my facebook, instagram and tumblr lol for some reason it makes me feel better.

inb4 the people who say " for attention"


I do it because it avoids the questions and answering until it blows over and no one remembers

Same reasons why Pop stars go on a haitus and comeback with a #1 on Billboard 100 for 11 weeks

I havent done that since I was like 14

I only delete the pictures I have with my exes, why delete the entire account?

You're emotionally disconnecting yourself from people, especially those that connect with you on the Internet.

Similar to people who clean after a heated argument, or even a death. A lot of women do so when their marriage is under stress, for example.

Think of it like having an argument with your parents, going upstairs to your room then closing and locking the door.

It's rather normal and nothing to call a psychiatric nurse about.

Social media makes you compare yourself to everyone else imo. That's what causing most sadness, especially for me.

It also allows you to "disappear" for a while.

For the same reason when you are sad In real life and you say "please can you go, I need to be alone" to your people around you

i do this sometimes

Never have I once done this

youre not the only one, whenever depression hits me i immediately delete my instagram, hornet etc.

I just deleted my twitter, because I hate using it.

That's... weird. I can understand deleting pics and blocking contacts but shutting down your entire social media?

Then again I'd be more likely to go on to rant so I can't really comment.

I just did that cause I know i'd post some stupid & depressing **** otherwise, it's for the best.

I actually just finished deleting mine, it was a process. I started with Facebook 2 yrs ago. The last to go was Instagram. I didn't do it out of sadness, it was more of a distraction. I really wanted to focus on certain goals I had set for myself. I figured the people who i truly care about I see frequently or talk to on a daily basis. I honestly don't miss them, I feel like when I see someone and they tell me about something they did, it feesl more genuine as opposed to me seeing it on social media and making my own assumptions. No I know the moments I have belong to me and the ones I shared them with at the moment, it feels more personal.

When you're sad you wanna be alone and not "social"

I constantly do this. Hell, my boyfriend and I argue 2 or 3 times a week and I end up deleting Twitter and Instagram and snapchat only to re-download a couple days later

This

Mess. When i'm sad tha last thing i'm thinking about is tha damn internet
