Top 3 Benefits Of Not Being On Facebook; No. 2 Will Make You Delete Your Account Right Now!

Facebook now has 1.19 billion active users on a monthly rate and it is predicted to even rise in the coming days. There is no doubt that there are advantages of being on Facebook, but not a lot of people are aware of the many negative things it could do to their lives.

So many people now are addicted on that social media platform that most of them don't realize it is kind of a black hole. It means that the moment they open their Facebook account, the next thing they know is that they have spent 5 hours on it and have lost all those hours that could've been spent being more productive outside the cyber world.

Here are the top 3 benefits of not being on Facebook:

1. Real Relationship With People: Not being on Facebook will give you real time to bond with real people in real life.

2. You Will No Longer Have To Measure Your Self-Worth Base On Likes and Good Comments: Alice Rooney from Quora wrote that one of the benefits she got from deactivating her Facebook is that she stopped comparing her life to everyone on her friend's list. For some reason, this site could do that to a person's brain. It instills insecurity thinking your life should be better than others, so you end up posting photos that you think would catch the attention of many, leading them to hit the like button.

3. Your Productivity Will Increase Drastically: Being hours on Facebook browsing other people's lives through their posts and uploads is eating up your productivity time. You could've already invented a cure for cancer, but it is not happening because you are just there staring at your screen and interacting virtually with people online. This is something that blogger Pia have realized as well.

It is hoped that you find these three reasons enough to deactivate your Facebook, especially if you know that your life is already being affected by it in a negative way. Watch the video below to educate yourself more about the downside that social media and technology could do to a person.
