Just this really. On AIBU for traffic. Very lighthearted. Please add some suggestions for how I can spend my life now that I have quit social media.

so far I have come up with:

watch paint dry
eat chocolate or popcorn while I watch paint dry
pay attention to my family
take up a hobby like cross stitching or something else I can do while watching paint dry

I’m reading a lot of books lately. But I also like to go on the internet and talk about them so really not sure if that would work without social media.

I could start by reading the books to see if that is enough for me. Is good reads any good for discussing books?

Learn something; Piano, French, Martial Arts. At least you'll have achieved something with all the time.
Failing that, I am decorating so you can come here to help, and watch paint dry. 😄

I might even have time to learn something new AND watch your paint dry

I am now imagining myself as a French speaking, piano playing ninja 🥷

Haha. Much better than watching hours of cat videos on Instagram.

Go on Twitter 😂

@NeedToKnow101 Ha! Twitter was the first of my social media accounts to go. Too toxic and generally just annoying.
