I have to admit, I like having fb. I don’t know why I want to collect everyone I can from my childhood, just to know they are there.
I liked looking at their posts for a while, but I’m bored with it now. People don’t post as much as they used to.
There are two females in my feed that are annoying—endless duck-face kissy selfies with others or their kids looking less than stellar. Then someone takes a photo of them they aren’t expecting and suddenly they look much heavier in one case and 15 years older in the other (she is using app to remove wrinkles and only takes at angles jutting her chin out, etc). People exaggerate how good they look, how happy they are, and how much fun they are having. Both of these women I think are far more miserable than the rest of us (one I know has lost custody of her children by two different men, but you wouldn’t know by looking at fb, they look like they are living with her, but these are visits; the other poor soul somehow doesn’t know she is engaged to someone I know very well is incapable of monogamy, and I can’t understand how she can’t tell! Well, actually she probably can but thinks she will be the exception(.
So, when I see stuff like that, I know people are compensating or exaggerating. At least, people my age, I think.
I like using the groups for information I’m looking for. Local groups about the city I live in, diet groups, groups related to work on things I need to keep up with, etc.
