Hit 40 days of no social media and realized half my friends were just people who wanted to cancel me
Tbh I quit Twitter and Instagram 40 days ago after a post about my kid's school got me dogpiled by like 200 strangers. I expected to miss the memes and the group chats. What I didn't expect was that 3 of my closest friends never once texted me to check in during the whole mess. They just watched it happen and stayed quiet because they didn't want the same thing to happen to them. Honestly that hurt worse than the strangers calling me a bad parent. Now I'm wondering if the people who actually defended me are the only ones who matter. Has anyone else cut people off after a pile-on and felt weirdly relieved about it?
