Used to live on Messenger as a teen. Now married to a fellow introvert
People whose social life used to revolve around Messenger — what’s it like now?
I’m 32 now. Back in the day, I’d come home from school, log into MSN Messenger, and that was my social life. Chatting late into the night, customizing away messages, waiting for my crush to come online… those were the days.
Now? I’m married to another introvert. We’ve got two kids who take up most of our time and energy. We see family on holidays and birthdays, but otherwise my social life is two friends I send memes to and maybe meet up with once every few months.
No big friend groups, no constant plans, no FOMO. Just quiet, simple, and low-pressure — and honestly, I love it.
It’s funny how staying in touch used to mean hours online. Now it’s a “lol” reaction to an Instagram story, and that feels like enough.
Anyone else relate?
