I was getting fatter and fatter .. I was addicted to Facebook. My phone was never out of my hand , I was a vegetable, gawping and trawling through Facebook , constantly! Then one day I thought .. enough is enough , I’m inviting people into my life and not inviting them round for a brew , the art of real life social interaction had gone .. and here in Facebook world I was confronted with fake happiness and keyboard warriors ... so I binned it . That was 5 weeks ago , and guess what , I’ve lost a stone in weight already , inviting friends round for tea , cleaning the house and walking the dog ...<br />It’s the best thing I’ve ever done !

All of a sudden the cops hate my guts and watch at me like i'm a criminal, lmfao i delete all my social media now, instagram gone soon, and whatsapp, facebook can track you down anywhere you go, that's why people are so tied up to it, teenagers commit suicide over being bullied with facebook, people act different and shit acting either extremely white or extremely black, the first moment i signed into facebook i was instantly like hooked on it and i became so depressed about all the pictures of party's with friends and hating my life for it because i'm mostly at home all day, facebook makes us think we have shit lives compared to others, so fuck facebook and fuck social media, if you got a fight with anyone and that person has facebook you can locate them like the poster said, work, family, phone numbers, adresses, everything, let's say you have a beef with a gang member, then what are you going to do, they have everything, that's why i hate all this social media crap it sucks ass, and i will never be a part of it anymore after i delete everything, i suggest other people do the same and close their facebook accounts because it's making you indipended of it, same with other smartphones and technology, it's all the mark of the beast, wake the fuck up you sheeps, it's all addictions, try to close your facebook for once and try to see how you will react lol.

There is a reason I liked leaving high school behind. <br /><br />What you write speaks to the *feeling* it puts you back into just having to wonder someone's intentions - do they want to spy on me? See if they have done better than me in life so they can gossip to other idiots about what so-and-so's up to? And I don't want to *feel* like I'm back in high school with jerks who - like you said- never gave a damn about me.<br /><br />I had people use me, too; it wasn't cool to be the smart girl but it sure sets you up for a lot of bs.

I'd rather read or write something. Plus Facebook seems to constantly be eroding at it's privacy control options, and those of us who have been bullied treasure our ability to not be seen when we don't want to.<br /><br />I found it insulting back in high school when classmates who almost never talked to me wanted to "friend" me on Facebook (to be fair, the isolation was self-imposed - I was sick of backstabbing, bullying, and abandonment so went out of my way to minimize social contact to the point of often requesting to do group projects by myself. Still, it was insulting that despite the fact we never hung out and rarely talked thought they could label themselves as "friends"). I didn't give a damn about them or their inane daily status updates, nor did I delude myself into thinking they gave a damn about me. I only existed when someone wanted their Jeopardy quiz team to win (it's a study prep game using a powerpoint template most classes used where I lived) and then everyone was quite content to talk to each other and not me (my team ALWAYS won, even in Honors and AP classes).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572878393350853164.post-3299711997732789042013-11-09T23:34:39.348-06:002013-11-09T23:34:39.348-06:00I just call it the apocalyptic mark of the beast. ...I just call it the apocalyptic mark of the beast. I don't have an account and I think I never will. I felt something eerie was lurking within the FB account and I never got one. I think many people stopped talking to me since I would decline everyone's request. But worst of all, I forgot to tell them I just didn't have a FB account. It wasn't that I didn't want to accept them. Anyway, I think it is better to live in the real world. FB is fickle, vain and evil. Everything you wrote above is so true; you couldn't have said it better. Sorry I can't follow you but I just hate fb and don't have an account. It is the mark of the beast spoken of in the book of revelation.

I was one of these ppl that had to post the most clever status and hope that at least 15 ppl would comment on it just so I could feel self worth,that they would think I was cool enough to comment but it became an obsession, I wanted more more and more comments and even more attention to pics I posted. I was popular in high school and Im a fun guy that can make friends with just about anyone in REAL life so I realized that I dont need the drama and anxiety that Facecrap creates not to mention a huge waste of time. Recently I have taken on wood working to fill the empty space that Facecrap would have filled, Im a better family man and overall just a better person :)) No more reading senseless posts like " Just finish the dishes now I think I'll clean the kids room,maybe diddle myself for a half hour then take a sh$%!!
