Does it make sense to not use social media?

[Neil]

Yes, social-media tends to take people over(latest research shows people on social-media experience more stress, more anxiety, more insecurity, and are less likely to get things done in real-life, because they invest too much time in a virtual-World), so it's actually really healthy not to be on social-media.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by, 'putting your name out there', but if it means having a social-pressence, there's an old-school trick for that, GO OUT.
