After a particular heated row with a FB friend, I came to a decision. I was fed up with a lot of people on my facebook. Most are from a three year period, when I went to an awful school, and I'm just ready to wash my hands of all those memories.
So, I deleted a good forty friends, and I feel very relieved, like I've finally put behind me a very bad time in my life, and now I can move on and focus on being better and more successful me!
That's good. Why don't you delete your facebook altogether? My therapist with a Ph.d who specializes in Asperger's and autism says that social networking sites such as facebook and myspace are minefields for folks like us. I agree, you don't have to agree with us, I'm just letting you know what an educated NT on autism thinks about those sites and how I agree with him. He says sites like wrongplanet are good though.
But hey, before I deleted my facebook altogether I god rid of all my "friends" or "links" I should call them for the same reason
Id imagine not having facebook would only be beneficial from individual to individual.
For me I have a lot of friends who live in different parts of the country, and instead of emailing (where i constantly forget to reply) facebook is useful for keeping in contact. Also its a useful/efficient/cheap way of organising largish scale events.
So therefore deleting it would not be beneficial for me personally, but in some cases like your own it might very well be. I guess it depends on what you use it for in the end, and what role it plays in your life
