I've been on Facebook for almost 15 years, because it started up when I was in college. I think I joined in spring 2005. Honestly, I liked it much better when it was just college students, because I could share stuff I don't feel comfortable talking about with my relatives. Now, because everyone I know is on there, I feel like I don't really want them to know what's really going on with me. But it seems that I am in the minority, because you are right. A lot of people share very personal details of their lives. I don't like how political it's become either.

I don't know if this is a solution, but I just don't Facebook that often and rarely like or comment on people's posts. I check it occasionally, because sometimes my friends will use it to invite me to an event. And I use messenger. I also stopped wishing people happy birthday. I used to wish everyone, even those I hardly know, but it started seeming fake, so I stopped.
