One of my sisters and one of my best friends (and both are my most frequent picture commenters!!!) have recently LEFT FACEBOOK. And I just discovered that another friend that I really like is not on Facebook anymore either.
Should I be inspired? I'd like to be. But I feel it's going overboard to delete my account. There are way too many people I don't want to lose connections with. I wish there were something other than not having Facebook that could keep me off of there. If I would limit myself to 30 minutes a day, that would be an accomplishment. Or rather, I would make a million more accomplishments in my REAL life. Ugh.
you'll just waist your time somewhere else. I deleted my facebook two summers ago and just blogged a bunch. Don't do it.
ReplyDeleteyou can always just de-activate it. maybe open it only on saturdays or something. i've thought about doing that, but i usually get bored of facebook after 30 minutes, so it's a little different but whatevs
ReplyDeletei don't know why everyone is so attached to facebook. yes i'm your sister that just deleted it but everyone spends too much time on it. its not like it's the breath of life but when i quit everyone acted like it was the end of the world (not you). i would go back on if i could just pay attention to what my family is saying and if only people i requested were my friends. lol. i don't like the crap everyone says. i don't like to hear the whining/complaining cause it makes me think about stuff to whine/complain about when there was nothing there before. i don't like 9 year olds at church requesting my friendship and feeling pressured to accept so their parents aren't mad that i made their kid cry when i say no. so i say yes ;(. booo! and most of all i spent more time telling everyone what i wanted to do and feeling bad about seeing what they were doing that i wish i was doing than actually trying to DO IT MYSELF. i think everyone should try not loggin on for a few days and see just how insignificant you really are to everyone you think are obsessed with your every word. that's what fb does, feeds your ego that 'everyone wants to be friends with me'. but where were they before fb, right? seriously. that's my 2 cents for now and i'm stickin' to it. with all that said, when i need to get the word out that we are trying to adopt, i will miss fb for that to tell everyone what we are doing but i will have to get my hubby to post it on his fb page. ashley, seriously. i dare you not to go on there for a minimum of 24 hours. see if you can do it. if you pass then i challenge you to 3 days, that's what it takes at least to get it out of your skin. i like the deactivating idea and going on, on the weekend too. good luck, let me know what you do, i'm interested.
ReplyDeleteoh, and one more thing... ha ha ha j/k.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go 24 hours. Well... it's been a while. But yesterday I didn't go on at all until like 8pm or something! (Cuz i'd spent an embarassing, possibly-record-breaking amount of time on it the day before!! Ironic, given that it was after I made this post acknowledging my addiction.)
ReplyDeleteI have felt much better since I left facebook, even if I do spend a bit more time on You tube. Lila's right, Facebook is just a way for all of us to aggrandise ourselves.
