Not really, I may comment on something my friend said once in awhile. I used to be way more active on it when I went to college.

Right now I'm okay with Facebook but not many people comment on my posts because most posts defy their comprehension of everything in general or philosophy isn't one of their interests but even though I have nearly 480 friends only about 10 or 20 chat to me often mostly because about half my friends are from my primary school which I was the only there who has AS and since I went to secondary school I wasn't able to keep in touch.

NOTE All my Facebook friends are NTs

Nah I totally suck at FB, I don't understand it at all. I just keep an account there in case anyone wants to get in contact with me and they don't have any other way to get in touch. Rarely ever use it.

FB is my phone replacement. I absolutely despise the telephone, so family and friends just message me anymore. I do like having different web site postings and info on musical artists I like all on one newsfeed.

I only signed up for Facebook because two of my friends were moving away and wanted to stay in touch with me over Facebook, because they go on it a lot, and I wanted to give Facebook a try anyway, and I have nothing against it really. I don't need to always update my social status every two minutes, I know a lot of people do but I know a lot of people who have an account but hardly ever post anything on their wall, only write private messages to their friends, and nobody has anything against those who don't post much on their wall.

I like to know I'm on Facebook because it just makes me feel better about myself, that it's one thing I conform to. This is probably not true for other Aspies here, but it is for me as an individual.

I have penpals, snail mail, as a hobby and meet a lot of them on Facebook groups.
But then people I went to school with, and we were never friends, they would never say hi if I saw them at a grocery store kind of thing want to add me--awkward.

<----- Deleted his FB account today. Saw no point in keeping it because he's on WP all the time anyway.

Are you able to socialize well on facebook? I thought it was great at first, but as the months rolled by I realized I was just as out of sync there as I have been my whole life. Sharing stuff that was boring, commenting on stuff that no one cares about, paying attention to things that made no sense to anyone else. I stopped logging on.


^This. My wife took over my account- I don't care I ever go on it again.

I signed up for a Myspace a long time ago but barely used it. When Facebook became the "thing" I never bothered messing with it. As others have said it's just one more medium for people to ignore and not understand me on. I was keeping in touch with my only friend through email, but I have gotten the feeling she was only my friend out of pity anyways, and has recently asked me to stop talking to her. Not much sense in a FB when you have zero people on your friend list. :(

Same here then, I have a facebook acc with 300+ friends, but for me it's just another place of non-interaction and being ignored. I almost never do any interaction with others on fb such as chat or exchanging posts/comments. I also have a twitter acc but it's again another place of non-interaction, i never mention or get mentioned by anyone, and my tweets are mostly ignored. I use these websites mostly to get updates and information about my family, friends, and just people around me in general.

Oh and I also feel ignored here in WP aswell, no one ever respond or comment to my posts in here. But again, I use WP mostly to see how others are doing/coping with AS and what I can do myself. But I really hope that I'd be noticed and replied here (and in my other posts), it would be much better for me, after all this is a forum, i'm not here just to lurk and post some replies.

I don't want to use facebook.
I dislike facebook and Microsoft, Google and Apple.
They are monopolists which threaten the freedom of the Internet.
