Please don’t tell me to get off of it, I have old Livejournal friends to keep in touch with and that’s why I’m there.

    That’s a 2 way street. I will say from experience that not using social media like Facebook dramatically dwindled who will reciprocate by text or email.

    Fine by me for my life, but I saw the difference as they all used it more and more and I did not.

      Same, but I also recognized that the people who wouldn’t message me back were not people that I wanted to spend extra effort on communication with when they couldn’t bother to respond to a text.

      The people that matter make the effort, but many of us are concerned with the quantity of friends instead of the quality of the friendships. I have fewer people to talk today than I did on Facebook, but at least I actually want to talk to them instead of just going through the motions.
