I 'quit' facebook for almost 5 months because of all this.. I especially hated when it was someone's birthday and everyone would be posting on their wall, and I'd feel really awkward because if I did it too, it would seem like I was just following everybody else. It was so much easier to greet a friend before, when just remembering their birthday was special. It's the reason I kind of stopped greeting friends this year and I always feel bad about that.

I went back because of my dad, he kept wanting me to sign in to show me the friendstream app, and if I refused, he would get mad because I wasn't cooperating.. He said he doesn't understand me, and he is so right about that.

Now I find myself frequenting the friendstream to see what everyone is posting, but I'm afraid to post anything myself. I wish I hadn't shown my pressence again on fb. I'm a bit pressured to go back because I don't want to ignore my friends who did post on my wall and stuff, but I also don't want to go back. I hate having to either post on everything, or choose and ignore some people but not others.
