Why I don't use facebook anymore

[kami333]

I just keep the privacy settings turned all the way up.

 

[drum]

it's also a place for people to showcase who they want everyone on their friend list to believe they are.

for example, i have a friend that constantly updates his status re: his daughter. "taking my daughter to the park"... "my daughter is sick " ... "i have my daughter all week"

the reason he does this is because he wants to make his ex look like a crappy parent. it's way way wayyyyyy too obvious, and i would put my life savings on it.

i usually try to do a funny or quirky status update.

the dumbest thing i ever did was change my profile pic to a doormat when my ex left me. that got me a lot of attention, and now that i look back at it, i wanted people to side with me and was playing the victim.

a good rule of thumb is... if someone else were to do it and it would annoy you... then don't do it. as a result, most of my updates nowadays are about fast food, or bacon.

lol, that's something I would do.

I love all the people trying to claim that they don't do this dramatic crap or the Facebook bragging. I've posted on ATOT enough to know that less than 1% of this community is capable of not joining every internet trend they find. I have tons of friends I've seen do this dramatic shit on Facebook. I posted a a Calvin & Hobbes quote as my status only to have friends not realize what it was and think I was depressed.

As a long time fan, now I'm all curious :\

These are some of the reasons I don't really use FB, but its really just the tip of the iceberg. I've got a FB account registered with my name, and an email address. This way all the FB nuts can friend me/contact me. But I don't do this status update/wall/photos/etc. stuff.

same here, my friends and family make fun of me only putting up 2 status things ever. im ok with that. i use the photos thing tho, that way fam can see pics of the kids and such.

That's a great use for it.

Hmm, let's see, I've never had issues with Facebook for three reasons:

- I use the privacy settings
- I am not a drama whore, and
- I am not an idiot.

 

[MetalMat]

Yeah the whole relationship status stuff reels in way too much drama.

So do any of you guys have some crazy/stupid facebook affecting your relationships stories?

If I ever become an emo bitch, I'll let you know.

Nothing says 'unresolved issues' more than ignoring an ex on FB.

 

[Joemonkey]

no.
I'm a grown adult and use Facebook and tend to have mature relationships in my life.

I'd believe you if I weren't on your friends list :awe:

I think I'm revirgined.

Yeah seriously!

I just hate retarded apps. The rest of Facebook is fine as I limit what ppl can see or whatever.

I also go for the funny status updates. Only thing I put as a status update during a break up (inspired by meltdown's post) was "taking out the trash". It felt good.

 

[rudeguy]

my piece of shit dad found me on there....I blocked his ass

I had more issues using myspace rather than FB. Although I did wait till it was over to get on FB anyway... It wasn't cool when dudes she used to flirt with before me messaged me on myspace about all the dirty conversations they used to have and possibly was ongoing during our relationship, and stirred up jealousy issues that we could have done without... Although that's not what killed our 8 year relationship...
