I never got into FB and have not used it in probably 7+ years, and as unbelievable as it sounds, I still have a robust social life and am not missing out on anything. The necessity of Facebook is entirely in people’s minds.

You with your hobbies and your existing social life are not missing out.

I with my hobbies (Swing dancing) would dearly miss out. That's why I'm still evaluating whether it's feasible to delete my account, by getting other sources for events. So far, only very limited success.

All of human social relationships is "in people's minds", no?
