Who Here HATES Facebook?

Post Reply New Topic

I deleted my facebook over a month ago because I got too many people from my senior class giving me death threats and trying to convince me to commit suicide from it. I'm glad I did.

I think facebook is creepy and narcissistic. Who the f**k cares what you ate for breakfast? Why do I think people ought to care about my status updates?

I had a Facebook account for a month or two just to see what all the fuss is about. Got sick of it pretty quickly.

When I first opened it, my Aspie friend said it was a stupid idea because it'll only end up causing drama. Should have listened to her TBH.

When I lost my baby, it was hard seeing my old school mates with their kids and babies. So I didn't look at any photos for a while. I didn't even go to facebook either. I don't anyway that much unless I get a friends request or a new message or something or when I want to add something to my album.

I have similar feelings. Mostly, I'm waiting until college because hopefully I'll find more friends I can relate to, then I'll need facebook then.

I have an account with ~225 friends, only few I really know, others are just acquaintances. I can sympathize with the loneliness - unfortunately, most if not all of the acquaintances are really social, so it's one of the things that can trigger depression for me.

To be honest, I don't even know why I go on there. I can keep in touch with a few people I don't see anymore, and it's useful in some aspects, but nearly everytime I log on, I notice: No notifications, no friend/anything requests, no relation to anyone there... Everyone talking about how great the party was or whatever... what am I doing here again?

What's worse is that most of the acquaintances are people I knew when I was on the football team, so most of them are jocks/popular people that I barely know, who constantly talk about how great their social lives are, how great their friends are, etc... all these cheesy NT things that I don't relate with.

I am ADDICTED to facebook, so no I don't hate it.
But some aspects of facebook I could do without.

*raises hand*

Everyone who even puts their real surname on Facebook is risking their privacy. That is all.

I love FB - I have one for my online friends and it's convenient for me to keep in touch with them and there's some decent games on there. I have a real one with some people from school and stuff, but I rarely use it - there just aren't that many people in real life that I care about and seeing everyone's baby/marriage pics gets boring as hell.

I thought I was the only surviving person on the planet who hadn´t joined Facebook! But, maybe not, after all....

There´s something about the whole idea of Facebook that puts me off somehow. I know I´m in the minority about this. It seems sort of narcissistic to me. I prefer privacy, I guess.

I kinda like FB. I get a good laugh from some of the crazy / stupid things people post on there probably at least once a day.

I'm not lonely, and I neither love nor hate Facebook.

Mindjolt games are awesome and addictive.

I deactivated my FB account about a month ago because I got tired of witnessing the minutia of other people's lives - other people who, btw, were not my friends. I don't quite understand FB - kinda like how I don't understand parties. It's the same feel. I just don't get it.

I'm kinda neutral about it. I have a FB account mostly because I know a few ppl from college that I still actually want to keep touch with, plus a few online friends, but I really don't care much one way or the other.

I like it. The people who are on mine are people I like. I don't add people I don't know or I think are jerks. My husband, on the other hand, is a friend whore. We already got one excessively late night drunken phone call from someone he probably hadn't spoken to in over 20 years.

I hate myspace and I don't get twitter.
