I've even gone so far as to deactivate my acct at times. Anyone else ever feel this way. I know it seems strange that an internet site can have such an affect, but that's the reality...for me anyway.

So odd that I am reading this. fb can be excruciating for me. For different reasons though. I am mostly ignored there. What I post is mostly ignored. As if I am a non entity. I have more than a hundred fb friends. And yet I feel as if no one cares about anything I could say there. Thus confirming how unimportant and not cared about I am by friends and family. I
would never post negative feelings there. Or when I do, I configure it so only I can see it.... just so I can blow off some steam about how hurt I feel. But I am sure no one can see it.
I had to start a new fb account where I can go and not feel so hurt. of course no one knows I am there. So how could they ignore me? They cannot. It is a microcosm of how things are like irl for me. Of no significance to anyone's life.
