Is Social Media Worth It?

[Phil Olinger]

Is social media worth it? I am about done with a 6 month period of being off of my social media sites, Facebook, LinkedIn, NextDoor, etc, and I don't know if I will return. I am leaning toward the "Delete" feature for everything but Bigger Pockets and one other site. The only reason I stay here is that this site is targeted and specific and isn't a whirlwind of the world's or peoples problems. Will this be a mistake?

Personally, I am a pessimistic person, and I have been way happier since my sabbatical. The only concern I have is fear of missing out, the great real estate deal on Facebook etc.... Am I missing out by deleting most of my social media? Any thoughts that people have would greatly help me.
