I think partly it comes down to wanting to be too engaged with too many people online. We make friends then feel we 'have' to read their blogs, comment, RT and then chat with them every day - and as our circle of friends gets bigger and bigger, that becomes more and more difficult!

You're right about the richness of the experience. There's something that comes from real world interaction that we just cannot get online!

That's the exact reason I have been so quiet online lately. I have taken a step back for a while. You worded this post so well...It is an endless vortex...I love what Taterhouse had to say about this as well. Good post. A very timely read for me! I really struggle with it.

At one time, I gave up the computer on Wednesdays and Sundays to balance things out, but I found that on Monday and Thursday, I was glued to the computer worse than before. So now I am off the computer most of Sunday. Around 11:00 I check my favorite blogs so that the next day is a new day, you know? No, I don't find it easy to balance.

I gave up on facebook for these very reasons you mention. My offline (real) relationships were faltering at the expense of my online relationships. To keep a balance I had to remove myself from facebook. I noticed that if I spent a few hours on the computer, afterwards I didn't get any tangible richness from the experience. I noticed that when I spent time with my wife, my kids, or over coffee with a friend that afterwards there was a richness that I felt from the experience. Social media is important, we know that. But not when it continually trumps physical relationships. I had just commented on Michael Hyatt's blog about fasting from social media. I gave up on facebook for these very reasons you mention.
