I had FB, I deleted it a few months back, I think it gives more trouble than it's worth, ***Speaking For Myself Anyways*** Since alot of my illness at the time wasn't very healthy for anyone to be attached to. I had maybe 5 out of the 90 something contacts actually talk to me on there. I also came to the conclusion that adding these ppl as "friends" was quite uncomfortable for me, since most were aquaintances and never friends nor would be. I had ppl on that I went to ESC/Kindergarten with. Elementary/Junior/Senior High that I hadn't talked to for years.
Some would add me and never answer any of my questions, I found it was more of a popularity contest for some to see how many ppl they could add as "friends" and yet NEVER respond to them when asked something.
I ignored others just as others ignored me, and some would never "get it", so I would take further action, by blocking or changing your security section. ( Who can find you in the search and what not)
Also the whole thing about people looking up your page just to find out whether or not they want to hire you. Disturbed me. but than I am a hypocrit in that matter since if I were interested in dating someone I would look at their page (if able) to see how much they partied or didn't.
Also same went for me, since I had some so called by some family members "disturbing" pictures on my page of myself. That were seen as provocative, and what not. Even though I am not that type of person, I was coming across as that type, so I was being viewed/judged as so.
Plus it was my only "Human Contact" I was addicted to going on the page maybe 5 times a day or more, and always being disappointed never getting anything out of it. (of course cuz I needed to change me first) So I deleted it and everyone.
Last but not least (as I never seem to have a short answer for anything) I was worried about having anything attached to my name just aimlessly wondering the internet without my consent. Cuz you never know who may use your valued information against you. And I still have goals and dreams where I may be viewed in the public eye later on in life, and don't want more problems than needed. (Welcome to SICKlySweet's Paranoia ;P)
