I have discovered a potential trigger for myself with the latest saga in my life. Facebook! The root of all evil I misinterpreted a message as meant for me and when I realized it wasn't, I feel right back to the bottomless pit of emptiness. I'm crawling back out through the rubble, at least this was a week.

I've decided to take a break from facebook and when I return, hide posts from a certain person until I feel I can handle the emotional beating and misery it puts in my heart.

I find myself spending more and more time away from facebook. I feel as if it ruined a lot of the privacy and maybe even the mystery in our friends and family and maybe even our mates. Do we want to see how they intereract with their family and friends all the time? We know too much about each other now. It makes a lot less to talk about when you do get together. FB is the new root to evil.

I haven't yet gotten along on Facebook and think I would have a lot of problems. Just looking at my daughter's "friends" bring up a lot of hateful memories. I actually started a thread on here about Facebook a few weeks ago.

I'm glad you've figured something out. Good luck in working through it.

For an emotionally sensitive and socially challenged person like me, signing up would be equivalent to self harm.

That is so true. We are connected now more than ever to our family and friends thanks to technology, and yet at the same time we are disconnecting because of it.

Yes, that's also true. There is a sense of competition on facebook. Sometimes people are always boasting and some others are always seeking help of some kind. My posts are generally superficial, I like to keep up a barrier or two. Every now and then I get sentimental on there, with a post directed towards all my friends on there.

facebook, to me, is just another excuse to hurt others. I think originally, it was put up to connect each other, but people have abused it, like they have abused many other ways to connect.
