Anyone go on Facebook here? You gotta love all these old acquaintances or friends who are...

I think mine has been with me since my early teen years but back then it was called worrying. Anxiety didn't have a name in 1989.

When I get anxiety today, it's the same feeling I'd get back then. So I've definitely had it most of my life but always got told I worry a lot.

Could happen. How old were u when anxiety kicked in? Do u have a friend who u can talk to about it?

Also things like phone, Internet n forums etc, they were invented with good intentions by the owner / founders. Rest is on our perception how we see these things. If Internet didn't exist it would have been exposure from magazines: succesful people, seeing big mansions.

I can't help but think you might benefit greatly from owning a motorcycle! Not sure why, something about your aura makes me think it would be a good fit!

Yes, I am there daily, but I haven't posted on Facebook in years. And I hardly ever read anyone's posts. I only use it to stay in touch with family that I don't see often 🤷‍♀

Just remember that social media only shows what they want you to see. Just because it looks like everyone else has it together doesn’t mean they do. Family or not.

It's a ghost town for me. It's rare when anybody posts anything personal there now. I basically have no idea what all these people do in their lives because they don't share anything on Facebook. Neither do I. Out of 150 people, there are about 20 who posted some update in their life in last 5 years. With the rest I noticed that some women changed their last name so they apparently got married but that's all.

Yes but FB is not like it used to be. Once upon a time it was friendly, inviting, non-invasive, didn't have ads, didn't have algorithms that track your website using and feed you stuff it thinks you want to see, and collect huge volumes of data and metrics on how/when/why you use it.

Also it didn't employ a busful of nuns doing enforcement of constantly changing 'community standards', didn't have 'facebook jail', and all the other b/s.

Plus it was wound up with other products that Zuckerberg's company had acquired over the years and could be used fully independent without attempts to force you to use FB's extra services.
