facebook

[toexist]

Many people complain about the lack of privacy today. Yet many of those same people can't take a poop without sharing it with the rest of the world.

I believe Facebook was created because most people today are secretly lonely but still are competitive in nature. If your friend got into a good school or landed an exotic job or purchased a fancy car/truck/home/condo....then you subconsciously feel the need to outperform them in someway.

Facebook is essentially a way to constantly evaluate how you align with your peers. Are you living a life others want to live? Do you have a beautiful girlfriend/wife? Are you successful? Is your life meaningful or interesting enough to share with the masses?

I understand that people have this underlining need to feel connected and to feel like they're not missing out on something. Why though the need to share every mundane moment with every waking life on earth? Does everyone see themself as a rock star?

The only friends I have are my kids/grandkids and Wife though I never post on my wall, basically private messages and limited at that, I tend not to go their often. No body from the family don't air the dirty laundry nor talk about private issues, Wife's about work and some family stuff that's humorous in nature kind of stuff, animals etc.., the kids and grandkids about animals and hikes/camping and hunting.

I occasionally post about critters garden things like that. Never dirty laundry. . only reason I have it is to keep up with the kids and grandbaby. I also have family all around the states even in Canada so nice to e able to talk to them on occasions and see what they are up to with their kids, which I haven't ever had a chance to meet. It always amazes me how much people live on FB. You post something and it is liked within seconds. .

Some think that they have to be in the know at all times. . .heaven forbid you don't find something out till the next time you see that person! I don't give a rats patudy if a person has material things better then I do. That is not what counts at the end of the day.

What I really don't get is why would anyone want to announce they are away on vacation? I realize it should only be your friends, but some will accept anyone and not limit to who sees it. . . . just leaves it opened to the public. I had posted a pic of me and grandbaby as my profile pic right after she was born. Even though only friends can see my page anyone can see a profile. Had a few nut jobs pm me saying they saw my pic and wanted to become friends together too know me better. Ended up changing to a goat and no problem since.

It has it's good but there sure are a lot of bad on there too.. .I do t have a problem unfriending. Have done it a few times from some x classmates. I don't have time for BS. . life is too short!

The only benefit of Facebook in my opinion is the ability to find anyone your looking for. That friend from grade school you haven't seen in years.

Even if you are not on Facebook...someone you know is.

Two billion people are, that's a third of the worlds population. I haven't joined it, I guess out of some stubborn resistance to not go with the masses. I think people are really naive about posting their personal thoughts and actions for the world to see, permanently. There are a few that I haven't seen in years and would be curious to hear how they are though. Maybe one day I will consider it, but hey, I waste enough time here already!

I've never done Faceplant, I have a hard enough time navigating real life let alone another one online.

I know I was just saying if you think about it...this forum is simply an extremely small scale Facebook only with specific interest.

I know I was just thinking it's kinda ironic how small this forum is. There are probably paper airplane forums with more active members.

Before I signed up here...I imagined there would be hundreds and hundreds of active members. Maybe a couple people scared them all away.

many so called "preppers" get scared off the subject when they realise it takes conviction and commitment to be a real prepper.
