HEY FACEBOOK, LOOK AT MY LIFE! THIS IS THE IMAGE I WANT TO PROJECT TO EVERYONE. I'M HAPPY, AND VERY EXCITING. MY RELATIONSHIPS ARE GREAT, AND I AM NORMAL. HERE'S MY BABY. I'M PROUD BECAUSE IT GIVES ME PURPOSE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT ANYONE WITH GENITALS AND POOR IMPULSE CONTROL CAN HAVE ONE. THAT MAKES ME SPECIAL. MY BABY IS SPECIAL. THIS IS WHAT I ATE TODAY. I'M HUSTLING SO HARD AT MY DREAMS. SO HARD THAT I DESPERATELY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW HARD I WORK, BECAUSE THE IDEA OF WORKING TOWARDS A GOAL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAKING THE SACRIFICES NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE IT. LOOK HOW PRETTY I AM. I MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY TALENTS, SKILLS, OR PERSONALITY, BUT THIS SHOT WILL GET ME 100+ LIKES AND GUYS MESSAGING ME. I FEEL UPSET AND UNWANTED. HERE'S AN AMBIGUOUS, EMOTIONAL POST WITH A CALCULATED CLIFF-HANGER. ASK ME WHAT'S WRONG. LOOK, I'M A REAL NIGGA CUZ MY SQUAD ROLLS DEEP, AND I'M SO INSECURE I HAVE TO CONFORM TO STEREOTYPES WHITE SUPREMACISTS CREATED 200+ YEARS AGO OTHERWISE OTHER BLACK PPL WILL LOOK AT ME FUNNY. I'M A SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVIST. HERE'S A CAUSE I'M DEEPLY INVOLVED IN. DESPITE THE FACT MY INVOLVEMENT IS ONLY LIMITED TO POSTING LONG-WINDED RANTS AND LINKING TO CLICK-BAIT, I FEEL EMOTIONALLY ACCOMPLISHED. UH OH, IT LOOKS LIKE MY CONTRIVED IDENTITY IS SLOWLY UNRAVELING. TIME TO FIND MORE CLICK-BAIT.

Yup. No doubt.

I actually only have 30-40 ppl on FB, but even with that small amount, it's the same shit as when I had 400+.

Just so depressingly predictable.

I'd deactivate it but I need it for marketing and out-of-state family.

I just wonder when people are going to get sick of it?

I can't believe I'm advocating for ***Facebook but you can absolutely get what you want from facebook. You really have to spend some upfront time to learn how to use it. But once you find that right balance for you, Facebook becomes a truly amazing place. It took me 5 years to figure it out. And although FB goes against everything I stand for as a person, I have come up with a formula where I am getting more value than Facebook is from my account. And no it's not just about the money.

I don't use Facebook. Never saw the point. The people I want to stay in touch with have phones, and so do I. That way, I'm not subjected to all of this other bullshit people complain about.

This right here is the biggest thing I figured out about Facebook. Don't use it to "stay in touch". Use it for access to the things that interest you. Only follow people that post about stuff you want to read. You don't need to follow your high school class. Take all your family and "friends you don't want to talk to" mark them as "acquaintance", now take the "influencers" that you care about and mark them as "close friend". By doing that you will see most of their posts, and your "acquaintances" will fade off into the land or never seen posts.

Then you go and find some private groups. Ie... fracking, basketweaving, etc. This will load your "news feed" with stuff you decided you want to see, not the stuff Facebook thinks you want to see.

With all that said, you're probably better off staying away, it can be a real time suck.
 
The worst is the 'happy birthdays' on Facebook. I've had close friends send me only a FB birthday greeting, which I find to be rather putrid.

Make an effort to send a call (or at least text) to anybody you know well on their birthdays.
 
Facebook cracks me up, especially when someone has a baby, the whole fucking profile is all about the baby, baby this, baby that, or when she is pregnant, after that, I block them, friends or not.

I stopped using it a long time ago because of this. I don't give a shit about your ugly little baby that looks like the mailman, the fact that your great aunt sheila died, or the fact that you found a video of a puppy rolling around on the ground.
 
Especially when you get into your 30s, then people seem to start pumping out kids left and right. For the first year, they have to post a monthly birthday photo. Yep, still looks like a large, clothed peanut.

At least you have that. All I see on my news feed is baby pictures and more baby pictures mixed in with the occasional happy birthday comment, which reminds me why I've only logged in a handful of times this last year.
