Does anyone here find Facebook a bit annoying?

Post Reply New Topic

Personally facebook annoys me.I find it difficult to communicate with friends on it. I prefer meeting up with them but its hard because eveyone is busy at college so its an easier way to communicate.A few of my friends really wanted me to join so I did even though I didn't want to.I find it hard to communicate everyday so its worst on facebook

Whats do you think?

I prefer facebook over face-to-face interaction, generally.

I prefer WP over Facebook, any day. I find that Facebook is complicated and annoying.

I deactivate it at least once a month now. I need a break from people sometimes.

Ooh, not just a bit...

The users of Facebook often annoy me more than Facebook itself. Then again, there have been things Facebook's been doing lately that have been annoying me, such as randomly taking me back to the top of a page while I'm scrolling through it, and taking so long to load another page that I have to click on it more than once.

I don't even have a Facebook. I find that people just complain about silly things happening in their lives, and it's hard to have a positive outlook on the world when everyone is going on and on about how some poor cook at a second rate restaurant burned their food, and that they need to be fired for it-- or how their significant others have once again screwed things up and made their lives living nightmares. No one ever has anything witty and insightful to say about human existence on Facebook. At least not the lot that I used to hang out with.

Another problem I have with it is that people tend to have two different personalities. The real one... and the Facebook one. And most people's Facebook personalities are stinky, complain-y piles of wasted words. D=

Give me an inspirational quote. Give me an awesome cookie recipe. Give me a humorous haiku about going to the dentist. Give me pictures of your pets, your homes, families, and adventures.

But don't give me yet another poorly thought out personal view on how the world is evil. Don't give me a picture of your burned dinner. And please... not another twenty hundred photos of your face from slightly varying angles. And all of them are from an aerial, goose-necked view of you.

Facebook kills my hopes of any of the people I know and knew growing up.

Facebook can kill lives!
So can we please go outside?
Just for a short time?

THAT... would be a fun Facebook status. Ugh.

I prefer message boards over sites like Facebook and Twitter. I like social interactions to be more on my terms, so I also prefer face-to-face, and over-the-phone interactions. I also don't like getting random invites to events over in Vancouver, because I don't like driving long distances, and dislike driving in a busy city like that(where everyone seems to be an idiot on the road, whether they're drivers, pedestrians or cyclists), and not every event interests me. But, I can't bring myself to "decline" invitations, because I would feel bad for doing so. So, I often opt for the third option, and pretend I didn't receive it in the first place. It almost feels like an obligation, and I don't want to make anyone feel bad, so that's really the only way I can think of to get out of it.

If someone wants to be my Facebook friend, I'll always accept them. It's easy to get ahold of me via a personal message or "writing on my wall" only because my Facebook is linked to my email account and email is the easiest way to get ahold of me other than calling me on my cell(which is only reserved for certain people I know in real life). I've always liked having one or two close friends than trying to manage interactions with a large group of people, or a whole ton over Facebook. I don't feel the need to write a personal blog about my day to day life, nor do I feel the need to read anyone else's personal blog about their day to day life. Facebook isn't all that secure, so I don't like to put too much personal info on there.

I haven't logged into my Facebook account in a long time, but I still get emails about "notifications pending", and every week, at least one of my friends seems to have a birthday. It's all too much for me. I like my alone time too. I really don't get this need to be connected to everyone at all times. Doesn't anyone else like to have some privacy? I thought things started to get out of hand when cell phones became popular, but I can manage the small number of cell phone calls I might get. Facebook and Twitter take things to a whole new level. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Facebook.

That's why I don't use it.

Don't have much friends to talk to on there and it hurts my head when I use it.

I used to have a profile and made a good step deleting it, I hated the s**t out of it, in every possible way and it's the people that are on it that makes it the worst.

I also really just prefer the Forum format. It's much better for continuing a discussion while on Facebook you post a comment into a status which then trickles down and away.

I mean sure you can message people on Facebook but people don't want to do that because it's then just a 2 person conversation.

I just don't feel like I'm getting meaningful connections with people through their like Facebook picture and status saying what they had for lunch.

I don't like Facebook either. To me it's just another place for me to get ignored and be a social outcast like in real life.

I resisted joining Facebook for a long time, but eventually reluctantly joined. What I hate is that ever since Facebook became so popular people have been sharing things on Facebook instead of in real life rather than in addition to real life. For example, nobody ever told me any news about close family members or relatives anymore, because everyone assumed I already knew from Facebook, even though I wasn't on Facebook. Family members sometimes talked about interactions they had had on Facebook and I was always the alien who had no clue what was going on and was laughed at for it rather than just brought up to date on it. A lot of people also send out invites (to events for example) on Facebook, so whoever is not on Facebook doesn't get invited.

Now that I'm on Facebook, I am able to follow up with some news from people, but 90% of what people post on Facebook is just useless crap, half the time just some games or quizzes, and on the rare occasion that I post something there I get practically no response to it, other than from my spouse and sister.

Oh, and the birthday feature that people can't seem to stop talking about how is wonderful and fun because they get so many nice birthday wishes..... well, for me that is just one more place where people can "forget" (or ignore) my birthday. It's nice to see that noone else than my spouse, mother and sister can be bothered while most people get dozens or hundreds of messages on their birthday. Nice to see how many people care.

I would have deactivated my Facebook account already if it wasn't for the fact that I'd again miss out on all news in the family.

It's taking over everything that's so annoying.
And after so many years being social-media free I was forced to open an account
And now I have to face all the people I've been so carefully avoiding! I didn't know I knew so many of them

Well, sadly i only get to talk to most of my realtives through facebook, (they live too far away) so, it will have it do.
