The biggest barrier mentally about it was my mental health breakdown and this seems like the only place where people could relate.  I consider all the people I "friended"  to be very nice people but I feel like a bit of a misfit on FB because of how my life seems so different than theirs. IMO, I have more in common with people here.... |
I never knew what to post on fb. As if I’m going to photograph fancy meals!
All the acquaintences who I friended started getting into political fights and the news feed got ugly. Three years ago my niece triggered me into posting something calling her out, and long story short, it should have been nothing (I apologized and removed it the next morning), but I lost my whole family over it.
I’d say that post was only the tip of the iceberg that must have been lurking beneath the surface and it is whatever issues there were that caused that major rift. So, I’ve been off it since then.
I have a job where I am supposed to be a networker, and i really don’t have the personality for it. I can’t stand phoniness. I will be friends with people I want to because we have something in common and enjoy each other and NOT to try to get money from them! The whole idea goes against my values tbh.
Also, my mother keeps me off there because she constantly tries to draw us in. She incessantly posts for attention and demands we all dote on her.
I’d like to friend and really know you and Mickey, and all my friends here. Then you could look on my facebook and see my mom’s antics!
Lol.
