As somebody who doesn't have a facebook and never will, it's probably more a personality thing than IQ. I just...find it unpleasant and pressuring to be that accessible, let alone how magnified it would be if I were a movie star. It's not that it's a "better"/smarter choice - it's probably harming me professionally, actually, because I don't participate in a lot of networking that my peers do. But it's my choice, and I'm happy with it.

There's maybe some element of maturity in being able to recognize your own emotional needs and priorities, even when social media overexposure is the norm/probably good for business in his industry. Either way, I'm glad you're enjoying his digital absence.

I have Facebook only because it's the ONLY social media some of my relatives use. But I dislike its interface and how you can't even manage your own stupid feeds the way you want. If I had a better choice or if it weren't the main method of keeping in touch with family, I'd drop it in a second and never darken its doorstep again. But that says nothing about my IQ or intelligence.

LOL half my reasoning for not getting a facebook EVER was that my mom got one first. And I'm actually really close with my mom! I just figure, if someone isn't important enough to me to remember to call them occasionally, then they aren't worth spending the time and attention on, you know? Not because they're bad people, but just because I have really limited social energy.

I get you. I'm on Facebook maybe once each three months and have been doing this for years. I'm getting reamed for it regularly, by colleagues, friends and acquaintances, but I can only bear being logged in for an hour tops before I begin to feel harrowed by the intrusiveness and forced feeling of it all.
I love being on anonymous sites, though: fandom sites, games etc., so it's purely the social side of it that bothers me. Especially the aggressive "chain letters", the sad social promotion schemes and the endlessly recycled emotional clichés. My faith in humanity takes a hit each time I go there (but is restored when I see people taking care of each other anonymously, thankfully).

I find Facebook dull and exhausting to keep up with. I'm only friends with people I've known offline first, like relatives and old college friends, and there's one or two people who are way too prolific about posting and it drowns out everyone else. There is this friend of mine from grad school who will post a link to every interesting artivle she reads or vidro she sees, but there's never any content in her post about her thoughts and reactions, and she does this in individual posts throughout the day rather than in a less frequent digest post. This is all mixed in with minutia about what she's making for dinner and crap, and meanwhile someone posted about giving birth to their first child and it's buried under all the junk posts from various people.

If everyone used Facebook for Christmas letter-level stuff, it would be a lot more pleasant and interesting. As it is, I only check it about once a month, never read everything my friends have posted, and only post myself a few times a year.
