**Right now I am using [Facebook](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32568/was-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-s-original-idea) but yeah I deactivated it once so I can pour my experience here in this answer…..!**

So, **yeah I deactivated my profile 2 years ago** when I got the date sheet for my board exams. The reason why I was more into the Facebook was **my new phone Nokia Lumia 710** which was the best device one could have in the and surprisingly my **parents gifted me one.**

It was really special thing for me and **I used to flaunt my phone** and compared with my other mates just to make them feel jealous… **kind of kiddy things ha ha ha…..!**

And those were the time when I realized and noticed that social networks which I am using are adversely affecting my lifestyle. **Lack of concentration in work, study, paying attention towards important stuff were some of the basic symptoms you can say.**

Well, **Facebook wasn’t the only social networks which were affecting my lifestyle** as there were others too like Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp but Facebook was the social networks which I was using the most.

So right after I got the date sheets for the board exams I just realized that my grades could get ruin and **for the sake of future, I need to deactivate my Facebook account and other social networks too at least for few days.**

**Listing down the things which changed when I [deactivated my Facebook profile](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/31408/how-to-deactivate-a-facebook-account):**

- I was **satisfied with my results** in the boards as I focused a lot in my preparation.

- **Read so many novels** which helped me a lot in taking important decisions in life under different circumstances and situation.

- Found myself more **active and present in family get-togethers** and actively participated in giving an opinion in an important discussion which happens family.

- And the last thing …. I as I am a music lover I got to spend **plenty of time with my guitar.**

**Now I am actively using Facebook I don’t think it affects me the way it did 2 years back.**
