I suspect at least 50% of the people who ask decide I'm crazy or otherwise very suspect socially when I tell them I don't have Facebook (or Twitter or Snapchat or Instagram for that matter). This happens even with people I've known for a while. Apparently it's very unusual to be completely absent from social media.


It's our generations version of "can I have your number?" "Sorry, I don't have a phone".

Either it's a brush off, or they're a bit..different.
