Do you ever take a break from SW or other social media?

Yes, I have

I have

Yeah but then I get lonely ☹

Depending on my offline life activities, I do take breaks from here or any online presence, in general.
There were years when I took a long break from SW (I have just returned on April this year).

If you feel it’s taking too much of your attention and emotions, it’s usually a good sign to take a break.

I've had breaks 6+months once I had year long break. I often take breaks.

i'd say turn on notifications for messages like i do when i leave so you get those at least and turn off the thingie that shows when you're online(some are still nosey and notice, but at least you don't have to delete or anything to pop in and check)

sometimes it's just nice to decompress and come back after a breather

My account is going to delete soon. I'm looking forward to facing alone.

Yeah, I’ve been strongly considering completely deleting.. not a break but a last hoorah

I took a break for about a year. I just came back on 2 weeks ago.

I take all kinds of breaks from SW and other places as well.

Type 1 Break: It’s is superficial at best. I still check and read things. May even return messages, or even place a reaction on something a friend posted, but I make no public comments at all I won’t post.

Type 2 Break: I still come and check my messages, but I don’t read comment or react to anything. I may or may not reply to messages depending on the what and what’s of it.

Type 3 Break: I go dark and I don’t even bother logging in at all.

On FB - which has people attached to it I regularly deactivate my account for days or weeks on end.

Breaks can be a good thing if used wisely.

Yes. I took a break from SW from 11/2022 to 8/2026.

All the time. I took a break from here for 6 long years while I got my shit together. I have this, Tiktok, and YouTube. That's the only real social media I use and I ditch the other two on a regular basis too.

Well sometimes

Long breaks

I didn't know I was off break

I've never taken more than about a week break here. And that was maybe twice.

no...i often wonder why people who feel they need to take a break from here actually come back. like what is different the next time around?

Have you felt ignored or hurt by someone here?

No. I don't feel like there's anything to take a break from.

I've taken long breaks from SW. But I have other social places where I hang out. So it's just trading one thing for another.

I took a few breaks from Experience Project while I was in grad school. I have never taken a break from SW in the sense of the word.

I do at times but other social media sites and trolls have been making silly comments about my upcoming court appearance

I’ve taken time away from here… but it happened organically, not as a planned thing.

If you feel it’s a good idea, why not!?! You can always log back in whenever you want.

The only break was forced on me by the SW Admin.
