I pretty much only use Facebook to keep up to date and communicate with existing friends. I myself would never use social media to make friends. But this I understand is pretty rare.

From the other side of the fence, I can say I do have problems with other people's use of such - and smart phones - that have impact upon me. I get a great deal of pressure for example to use Skype and other modes of internet communication. People expect me to have lengthy text conversations - which I don't believe is what a phone is for (just me). The whole purpose of a phone to me is to use it for phonecalls. Nothing annoys me more than someone texting me for a full chat. Call me then!

I agree though that I feel lonely when people don't contact me. I have begun reaching out however and that has improved things.
