I Don't Like Facebook

What I dislike about Facebook is that you can look at old posts and see who “liked” them, but who also over time de-friended you for being different in opinion, beliefs, or ways. And that, that hurts.

When you post a picture hoping that one person ‘likes’ it but they don’t and you get anxious. When you see those who you wish liked your posts liking somebody else’s the thoughts come flooding with, “Well hey, what’s wrong with me?” Why are all my old friends not giving a damn about what I post now? What could they have heard?

Then there are the old lovers with new girlfriends and the beauty standards we are tempted to wish we were like to be more “celebrated” than we are.

*Sigh*

We need to love ourselves and be firmly secure about who we are. Nobody else can do this for us but ourselves, no one will appreciate, notice, or value us as we can ourselves. I want to put Facebook behind, because it only brings pain because of the aforementioned reasons.

I hope you don’t feel alone, because you aren’t, in thought!

There's a few decent people. Although it's mostly full of shallow idiots who share every part of their lives. At least you have some anonymity here

You got this syndrome known as "caring too much" but its tough though. People are willing to throw away friendships over one bad disagreement and it is pretty wild but that's just how some people are. They are painfully fickle.

Try posting for yourself and doing a lot of things for the sake of your own enjoyment despite what the rest might do. Its impossible to control emotions but you can teach yourself to become jaded. It hurts less.

@Nolan yes I've noticed..people cant handle even a simple disagreement.

@iamnikki Thats why you have to take the route of being prepared for the unexpected. There was a phrase I used to use that was seen as pretty radical but i think it fits.

"Be Prepared to kill anyone and everyone in your life."

And while that sounds psycho it basically means to be prepared to have to accept things you never should have to accept.

Yea I know I'm highly sensitive so i don't use it much anymore. I have a cousin who is on FB ALL day everyday. I used to comment and respond to her funny stuff, pics and junk but she hardly responds. Yet i can see her responding to everything and everyone else.

Or like when you achieve something and post a pic and ' friends' don't like it nor even comment, on FB nor in real life. Jealous perhaps?

I did Facebook initially, so I can stay in touch with family who live all over the country. I can see their pictures, and vice versa. I try not to get into the whole social drama thing.
