Okay I'm down with this! Actually some really cool things are happening.
WORK: I'm getting a LOT more done. This, to me, is the most obvious sign that I must have a real problem, not just one in my head.
NEW PEOPLE: I am finding myself making friends a lot easier now. Just bumping in to people. Again, it's because I don't have the crutch of checking my facebook status, so I'm not looking down at my iPhone.
FRIENDS: Same thing- find myself calling my friends on the phone and chatting with them. It's amazing that there is so much of the real stuff (voice inflection, breathing patterns, pitch, tonality) that gets missed online that you can hear on the phone. Definitely going to make an effort to going and actually seeing my friends here over the next couple of months.
WITHDRAWAL: Definitely having symptoms but it's easier each day to not login constantly. I decided that I'll keep the facebook application on my phone, but only for uploading pictures on the run. That's the only real need for the application to be on my phone at all. If your status update can't wait, call me!
I bumped in to not 1, not 2 but THREE Ron Paul supporters tonight at my fave bar (I go 1-2 times a month) And we had some great conversations. We decided that if Ron Paul doesn't win, Texas is going to secede. For real this time, we mean it.
Main problem though is that I can't keep up with my Facebook-only friends (you know who you are!) and that's a bummer.
Overall, doing great. Glad that I did this, it makes me realize that I do have a problem and I need to address it head on!
