Empathy Only Did you ever want to erase yourself from the internet?

[ChimeraMonster]

sometimes i want to do it, to erase everything, make myself disappear, and be able to see if someone will ever miss me...
but at the same time, it would be just a way to be closer from a total breakdown. If i did that, it would be easier for me to erase myself once for all.
... my friends, familly and partner only have contact with me by internet...

so... could i do that? would i dare to do that? i feel like taking the matrix pills.
Having this every day, seeing ppl being happy without me... knowing that i would make no difference on anyones life... its so painfull, see that friends are going out without you, getting you out of their lifes bit by bit...
i know this must seem idiot... i know, normal ppl pass through it everytime without problem, they weep, they grow, they live normally.
but i cant do that, i dont have the energy, or the knowledge to know what is happening with me.

I have deleted many times myself from the internet the computer facebook etc only to find how alone i felt no connection to anyone anything i understand that feeling you have I hope you stay connected ok leave that door open so when you are so low you can reach out and see that people do care

It was easier growing up in the 80's and 90's where we would just call someone or send a letter I do not like how this whole interconnection this is going in a way I see some of the benefits but also I think it is not right to sit there as most do and look into people's lives all the time and be too interconnected emotionally for that is really a bad thing in some aspects because it causes addiction to it and too much worry also.

So the whole social media thing for me is a catch 22 and catch 22's are something I can do without.

As others have said, it's going to be very lonely. And even if people do show how much they miss you, will that really take away your fears or whatever else you are feeling permanently?
