I despise Facebook, but can see why people like it.
My IRL Facebook I only visit like once every few months to see how much better my old friends are doing than me. They're doing significantly better, so of course this makes me feel a ton worse about myself. Other than that I only have a bunch of people I could only call "acquaintances" added who don't really care and some family that I don't care enough about to keep up with in that manner. If something is important enough they call/text or I hear about it from my mom.
I have a separate one for online folks that I used to use to keep up with different friends I had and interest groups, but anymore it's jut a bunch of political BS I don't want to see or people telling everyone how great their life is. Only one person on there who was really just an acquaintance did I like seeing posts from because she struggled with a lot of mental health things and was very open about her struggles. After she ended up separating from her emotionally abusive husband though I couldn't bear reading her posts anymore, they triggered a lot of bad feels and thoughts in me.
