I have 70ish friends and only 5 talk to me and 3 of them are family. My first ever best friend who lived next to me for most my life is getting married and I had to find out on... Guess?!? that's right Facebook... We started growing apart in Middle School when she met a new Friend. Got worse in High School and once she Graduated it got even worse (I graduated a year later)... she would occasionally ask me to come over but a year after when I graduated and started College she disappeared almost completely but will sometimes comment on a status of mine saying "I Miss You.." And I say it back but when I ask to hang she says yes then stands me up but she is still so close to Her Friend she met in Middle School... Whom by the way was in the "Lovely" photo she posted on her Facebook the other day that showed her, her mom, and her bridesmaids with custom wedding shirts ...
Barely anyone on Facebook comments or likes anyone. It makes me feel more lonely not just cause my past friend but everyone I use to be close to ignores me. I have only one close friend the rest just go back and forth with wanting to talk or not. Facebook and some other Social Media Sites must be a Trigger for me...
I get too depressed just logging on Facebook lately...
I had to pay facebook to advertise my Disney Fan Page to even get more than 10 likes... Its pointless to even care about this but I want to just feel wanted somewhere..

Anyways.. Sorry for the Rant..

Yes, I agree with you. Facebook can certainly be negative and evil. Sometimes I wish I never had a computer, as Have been more depressed after visiting Facebook.

I am anti social media....exactly for reasons like this....

ETA: Never apologize for a rant...

That's why I quit Facebook. Facebook made me feel like everyone's life was moving forward, and my life was at a standstill. Plus, I hardly ever interacted with anyone on there. It just made me more depressed.

many say social media is depressing.
(((((manicfemale21)))))

Social media is good in the fact that it really connects people together. I know plenty of people that I can still keep in contact with because I friended them a while ago but at the same time I also refuse to go online a lot. I only go when I get a notification or I want to creep on someone because otherwise it just gets sad real fast. That's all because no one really finds it socially acceptable to post sad thoughts and feelings on FB. It's all about how cool you are and etc so yeah, try to stay away from it as much as possible. And to be honest, if you're constantly updating on FB you really don't have much of a life. The important people like doctors and etc are almost never on facebook. They don't status update every day or even every week so I try to follow their example lol.

Yes, sometimes FB makes me feel more alone than I was before I logged in. If I post a cute picture, or say something funny, they eat it up. I try to be serious, asking for help with something (anything), and nobody notices or cares. I'm a FB junkie...but I wish I weren't.

My T reminds me from time to time if I am not in a great mood don't log into Facebook. You have be careful about how personally to take it. There's a tendency to read way more into a post than what is intended. If you are not in a great place it is probably going to make you feel worse.

It is a good place to catch up with friends but I don't expect too much information unless I pm. There are a few old friends I have visited as a result of connecting on Facebook but necessarily people I would have expected. I don't know your age but I have found as I reached my mid 20's and beyond friends come and go much more easily. I think you are more focused on your career and/or family and your priorities and interests change. Your personality is more defined too. There is nothing personal and it isn't a reflection on you. In fact now that I am older I have found my high school friends whom I haven't socialized with in years are the most supportive and interact with me the most on Facebook.

Took a break from it for a while 5 hours. I just decided to not get on it so much.

[Altered Moment]

The heck with it. I posted this image on my facebook to try to educate my friends. We will see what kind of responses I get.

I don't use facebook much because of all reasons discussed already. Also I'm an isolator and single so guys always try chatting with me and I'm usually uninterested and feeling restless about it all.

I may post from time to time on these forums but I hope no one is shocked if I start to feel overwhelmed with having to keep up socially on here and withdraw. I really do mean it when I say, it's not you, it's me, i isolate whether I like you or not.

Luckily, I have a few friends who haven't given up on me, and have learned to roll with my vanishing periods. unfortunately we are all grown up and live far away from one another.

facebook is not always evil for me.. i got to play games and meet new friends on facebook but it does turns into evil when nobody even care about my tought, my problems or anything when i change my relationship status, having a bday or new years or just did anything there with my status.
especially when my ex delete and blocked me after she cheating on and dump me for another guy..
anyway i would love to likes ur pages about walt disney if u want to.. cause i loved most of their movies

It's okay invisible girl . I have a British pen pal he will disappear for months at a time we have been friends online for 3 years he is a nice guy. But yeah depression can cause withdraw and u might have other issues that involve withdraw but we will be here. And yeah a lot of guys try to add me on fb I don't accept ..
