Hoping this is sarcasm :lol:
 
From time to time.

NT is enough for me, if someone tried to to give me **** for it I'd just tee em about something else.

"Negro you got 20K tweets and 92 followers you might as well say you don't fw social media either"

Do you get weird looks from your friends or new people you meet because of your choice to stay off of IG/snapchat?

Does your interaction with other people seem strange when you meet with people that use those outlets?

Do you ever feel pressure to just go ahead and join since it's such normalized behavior?

No twitter, FB, snap, IG, none of that, just NT. Found myself wasting too much time on FB and stopped couple years ago. Never had IG, snapchat or twitter, I'm not big on social media. Don't care for it, or that brad and Angelina broke up or that Kim K got robbed, none of that matters to me at all.

I don't get weird looks from my friends, they know me.. Got a small, close group. If a dude thinks I'm the one who is weird because I'm not on a bunch of social media...

If a girl thinks I'm weird cause I'm not on social media, then I know we're going to have very little in common cause I don't care about social media at all, so if I got a female who's all about social media.. next fish. When I meet people who are on very little or no social media, instant connection.

My interaction is not strange or any different with people who use social media. People don't know I don't have snapchat/IG/twitter, I'm a normal person

Every once in awhile I'll feel an urge to go back on FB, but from my experience I'm a better person without facebook
 
I have FB and Snapchat but barely use them. It's always fun to go to my hometown and hear people's stories of what they heard I was doing with my life. It's like an exaggerated game of telephone.

I can't tell you how many events I've been too where people make it look like they are having fun for snapchat and when the camera goes off they look miserable again.
 
I have FB and Twitter. Barely use it.

No.

That **** is for females to get attention. Easier to give them the attention in person as I try to smash.

No.

They just show me what happened on their phones if it matters.

Never.

If I ever do join it'll be cuz I've become Sahara desert thirsty.

No one really cares that I dont have social media. I just exchange numbers with the people I meet and hit them up as necessary as if it was 2003.

Its been harder to tell people that I dont drink than it is to tell them that I dont have social media.

Same thing here, especially in college. Made for a lot of Friday and Saturday nights spent fapping and playing basketball
 
I only have snapchat that I barely use. Only have my actual friends on there as well. I keep my circle small. I barely even let my girl post pictures of me on her social media. My thing has always been, "if I really **** with you, I know how to find you". **** all that follow me ****.
 
IG/FB keep me up with current events and funny vids and stuff.

Learn interesting stuff from some of the folks I follow as well on various subject.

follow a lot of naked O's on IG too.
 
Yeah wouldn't NT be considered social media? If so that would my extent of it.

Funny how I run into people nowadays, new and old, and one of the first things that ask for is social media information. When I say I don't participate they look at me as if I'm an outlier, like I'm socially inept or hiding something. I'm like "Nah B... I'm outchea in real life!"

I'm actually social media'ed out. I remember back in the late 90's and early 00's when chat rooms were the wave. I thought I was doing it. I was heavy on BlackPlanet and DallasPeeps too. I bailed on social media right before Myspace got hot. I used to have a Facebook account back when it was primarily a tool for students and organizations. When they opened the floodgates I bailed on that... just wasn't the same. Only way I'd crank up another social media account is to promote a business or something similar if I ever dive into that realm. Other than that I'm good.

So NT it is.
 
I have a "secret" twitter that I use to follow the news and follow reporters of my favorite sports team. It's a secret because my friends know I have a twitter but I don't follow anyone I personally know and will never do. 0 followers.

I actually got a snapchat because my boys got tired of explaining inside jokes to me from snap. I usually just snap them jokes personally but MAYBE snap like once on my TL a month

No instagram or Facebook.

I like living in the moment and just enjoying my time out with friends and whatever I'm doing.

Also hate being in pictures! I'll do it here and there but most of the time, i rather not.
 
I've been straying further and further away. I mainly only use Facebook now. I check ig maybe once every 3 days or so, haven't tweeted in 2 years and was on snapchat heavy but this last couple weeks haven't really been in to it. Just found better **** to do with my time.
 
only use instagram and twitter.

instagram = basically google images

twitter = fastest source for news
 
Never had any kind of social media, just an email. Friends call me anti social, but i just have nothing to prove.


Its a bit awkward when im out with my friends, fools stay making dumb videos for attention and constantly taking pics of everything we eat.


Nah man ill never give in, never had it and dont need it. My closest peeps i keep in contact with on a daily/weekly basis.
 
I only have a Facebook but my friends urge me to get IG and Snapchat. The way I look at is, with how much people use them it's actually kind of weird for real life interactions because you could not see someone for months yet know wverything they've done because it was on social media so it's kind of awkward, especially if it's an aquaintance. I prefer the genuine in-person interaction.

I might browse FB once a month and I'll generally post 1-2 portrait level photos a year tonlwt folks know I'm alive. Outside of that, I'm in two group chats that are daily dropping IG links of funny comments and then there's a few other people from college and one from HS that I keep up with regularly. Everyone else, I see them when I see them
