It's just another tool for people to shun me. Even people off here.
What do you mean? People not commenting on your status, or people not answering messages you send them, or commenting on your comments on their status? If so, that's how FB is. I comment on very few people's statuses and sometimes they comment back, sometimes they don't. I rarely get a comment on my status, and when I do I might or might not answer back. I do try and answer most messages I get, but it may not be right away. People rarely post anything on my wall.
How many friends do you have on there? The more friends you have, the more active your account gets. I used to have a lot of friends because I would accept any friend request and friend people who commented on statuses with me. Lots of people will friend all of their friends friends, and I had a lot of people that way. I deleted about 400 people who I didn't even know really except on FB and barely there and now I have about 250 and most of those are just people I went to school with. I rarely talk to them either.
Try friending more people and commenting on statuses. The more you comment the more people will comment back. Ask a question in your comment so they will answer you and you can work that into a thread conversation. Compliment them in their new pictures they post and "like" the pictures. Just say "how pretty!" when they post a picture of their child or something. Make a funny comment to someone who is having a bad day and posts about it, or post ((hugs)) to them. That should help with getting some activity going there.
I wish people would just talk to me. I'm sure I'm going to die early from lonliness and isolation.
I message a few people there, but not many. I have a handful that I talk with in FB messages, and most people I know tend to use them like leaving you a sticky note. Just to tell you something. The ones I talk to are either far away or are nearby but having a problem or I'm having a problem (often) etc. You might try joining FB groups that are active. You can get into conversations on the threads and when you have a conversation on a thread with someone and you hit it off, send them a friend request.
Are you talking about messaging you on FB or commenting, or what?
I just want to delete my account again, but how do I do it without causing another stir?
I don't see why it would cause a stir. People do that all the time. Some people do it and open another one, others do it because they are spending too much time there or because they got hacked or they are mad or something. It doesn't do anything except leave your profile picture as a blank. How would it cause a stir? Just don't go to FB, you don't have to delete it. Plus, you can never delete it completely, only deactivate it. It'll always be there waiting and you can reactivate it by signing back in at any time.
I've had enough. I hate being in limbo with people. I just want to delete myself again. It almost feels like it's removing a bad vibe and it's freeing whenever I do it.
Did something happen with somebody that has caused you to be upset over FB? You can unfriend and block anybody on your list. As for being in limbo, if you need an answer or some sort of confirmation from someone, just message them and tell them that you need to know.
