I look at it from a bit of a different perspective. If my friends cant be bothered to answer me when I call or reply to a Signal/SMS message, then I don’t think they value me as a friend and thus I shouldn’t really waste my efforts on them. I did lose some friends because I don’t use social media, but to be honest, I’d rather have the few who appreciate me enough to reply to me with “traditional” methods, than try to get a hold of people who are obsessed with facebook.
If someone thinks I’m a anti-social arsehole because I don’t have IG/facebook, thats their loss and my win. I couldn’t care less about such weirdos.

those weirdos are the majority of the population.
Thats fine. I don’t need to deal with the majority of the population. I’m good with the handful of friends I have.
cool. i don’t have that luxury. i have to deal with the majority of the population.
That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that.
