loser in life= loser on facebook?

I stopped going to Facebook two years ago. Still have it, just changed all options so nobody can see my shit.

Then when I feel down and depressed I go to Facebook. Then I see all kinds of stupid people and I immediately feel better about myself.
 


I deactivate my FB account a couple of years ago and opened a new one to keep in touch with my family (they live in a different country).

I just recently opened a FB account for a website I'm pushing just to leverage out some traffic.

Love it or hate it, there's a shit ton of people hanging-out there.
 
The way I look at it is I would rather have a Facebook account and never use it as opposed to one day needing a way to contact somebody I haven't talked to in 20 years and having no way to do so.
 
I keep mine just to maintain some form of communication with family. It's easier for me to upload pictures of my kids on facebook for my family to enjoy vs maintaining an email list with blacklisting issues.

Facebook pages, need an account for that too. So yeah, I'll never delete mine. I did go nuts with FB when I first started, had my friend count up to 5,000 with shitty Zynga games. I think I have 120 now and I still think that's too high.

You guys mentioned LinkedIn, I haven't joined that one. I should, especially if you people say you are getting some real networking out of it. That's what I really want. Twitter has helped with real networking too, I just found a club of internet geeks in my smallish city. Pretty cool.

I was tired of seeing all these idiots posting on how shitty their lives are, stupid pictures, and slutty fucktards posting pictures and commenting on how ugly they are just to get deadbeats to comment on how pretty they are. Stop evaluating your life based on how many likes and comments you get on a social network. All that shit is repetitive and will stress you out.

The way around this is not to add the deadbeats that would complain about their shitty lives on fb in the first place.
 
I resisted Facebook for ages, but got back into it because it's useful for business. I must say, I like it. Although if I went to school with as many tedious fools as it sounds like y'all did, I probably wouldn't like it.

I have almost been an adult for 20 years, and you'll have to take my word for this, there is no one from our childhood we will urgently need to contact.

Don't out bro.
 
With guys, yes, but that's usually not the case with girls.

Facebook or any online profile allows socially inadequate girls to carve out a persona of their 'ideal selves' as opposed to their 'true selves'. I see this with girls more than boys.

Most socially inept girls (yes they are more common than you think) master the art of trick photography and develop the ability to take flattering pictures from the oddest of angles (usually a big bust or a heavily made up face). They get a bunch of admirers and grow a huge ego in the process and start being bitchy/mean which is hardly surprising given the amount of lewd PM's they get from guys who are none the wiser.

As a result, you get a girl who is a shrinking violet in real life, but a full on blossoming rose or just a downright biaaatch on the internet.

In milder cases, you get girls who seem to have intriguing personalities when you chat to them on IM (instant messenger) chat but tend to be much more shy and less engaging in person.

Social networking has done a lot for introverts. It's a place for them to shine!

For a second I wanted to post this on my Facebook... then I realized how big of a tool I would be if I did that.
 
My newsfeed is infected with attention seekers. All those baby pictures, those munters doing the pout, those stupid posts about X Factor or whatever else. The site has become completely useless in that manner. Agree that it makes sense to cut your list down to close family and actual friends. FB is always worth using for building out pages though. Lots of opportunity there.
