I opened a FB page in 2005 for my business; then 5 yrs later I closed the page & the business has been dissolved.
My SO has been on FB since 2004. I've noticed thru the yrs that he spends a significant amount of time on FB....saying it's regarding work....ummm it's a social media page.
My family has pushed me for yrs to use FB although I tell them I do have an email address if they need to contact me. But this does not satisfy them & im tired of the harassment.
Months ago I joined an intramural sports league & was told I HAD to open a FB account! They would not email me. So I opened a page...for a month...& ended up leaving the league & promptly closing the page.
My siblings had a surprise bday party for my sister last month that the invite went out on FB. I was only made aware of this at the last minute. I could not attend on short notice, but was harassed with texts from them the night of the party.
Today I found out I have a new great niece....that was born 4 days ago. I didn't know this.
Sometimes I feel embarrassed to ask about family things bec I get these answers of "well if u we're on FB you'd know!"
Even my SO says it's a "pain" if I ask him to look something up on FB for me. Really?
Maybe it's my age....but I'm the youngest sibling or my lack of trust in technology or my deeper commitment to myself & where I need to spend my time, but I really feel I'm going to have the last laugh....someday.
Someday.
I swear I'm going to write a trilogy about a rapture of those on FB & Fitbits! I wonder who will still be around with me!!
