I think that in general people want to just make an image of themselves that they could admire and it boosts their ego if others like their posts aswell. Envy is the force that drives the users of facebook to post and view things, but that is of course very pointless way of life. I myself have tried to stop using facebook all together but I have always went back because I don't have too much social life for my taste and facebook helps me to feel connected to my past friends. I know it's really an illusion of being part of something because browsing this site never really satisfies my emotional needs. If you are able to use less facebook, I would encourage you to do that.


People are really mad there anyway. They are so interested about themselves and want to compare their lives so much to other people's lives that it seems unhealthy. They are living in delirium like many others if you ask me.

I assume that you like any young depressed person has thought about the same many many times, but why the masses are so tightly tied to each other in this way? I wish we could speak more with people privately rather than do whatever we do and make it public. The whole core idea is silly.
