just interested......what are people's attitudes to facebook?
many people with AS i know spend thier entire lives on it ....many others cant stand it due to the axitey cyptic staues updates and bitching provokes

presnolly i cant stand it, went "cold turky" with it a while ago,it made very feel on edge.

fb is good in someways ,for finding old mates and staying in touch but fb dating and such can be a downside if it goes wrong. plus the whole debate about weather to unfriend exs when they get with someone else isnt nice

i likw WP much more cos everyone's awesome and its a save haven for so many :)

I used to be addicted to Facebook in college. I still check my Facebook everyday but I don't spend as much time on it as I used to. Yes, Facebook did contribute to ending my previous relationship.

I think facebook has the tendency to destroy relationships rather than to build them.

Fakebook is one harsh place.

I'd say erase all data, defriend everyone, set everything to private and de-activate that account.

Has anybody ever had a random person try to befriend you and you don't recognize who they are only to remember a bit later that they are friends with one of your friends and you add them and then they delete you after a day or two?

That's another thing that makes me mad, people who just want you to add them so they can spy on you.

I don't really use Facebook to share what I do during the day. And I could never become addicted to it. It's quite boring, actually. I mainly use Facebook to post random things every now and then and communicate with friends.

I thought about getting off Facebook, but I'm undecided about that.

I quit using it cold turkey a few months ago after being on it for nearly 3 years. I don't even miss it so I guess that says something right there. It's better that I don't have one for both my job purposes (freelance artist) and for reasons having to do with my AS over thinking issues. All it really was was cyber narcissism/melodrama anyways if you really think about it. (I was guilty of it too).

I use facebook to communicate with my family, and a couple of my friends. It's pretty OK but it's nothing compared to WP. :wink:

It's kinda boring, honestly. I'm only on their for social interaction with several people because I don't talk to them any other way. I never see these people in person. I barely talk to anyone on there. If anything, I spend the majority of my time on here, playing games, or watching shows.

I hate it. Full of stupid people, and the government (in pretty much all countries) is almost certainly using it to spy on people. Only time I ever used it was for a series of experiments to try and track the spread of misinformation across a system. Didnt work.

I use facebook a lot now, only really talk to wp people and a few others including family. Kinda hoping my old school friends unfriend me, too bloody britishly pathetic to do it myself. I fond people talk more there than here and about more things.. And no restrictions, though I don't tend to get moderated. Will probably keep checking in here but unless I get a PC, will remain mostly there. As for public details n all, mine are all set to public. Don't really see the harm. Naive fudo, more than unafraid though. Lol

I sit here alone, in my house - the slight smell of vegetables in the air from making salsa. Two monitors - one open to facebook, and one open to WP. I think - no ones online, no one to talk to. I look at my phone - and this fact remains true. I see my cat subtly looking towards the back listening to a sound he heard as he straddles my monitors just to annoy me - as he sleeps he pushes the buttons on my monitors, adjusting my contrast for me.

This is my life, it is not amazing - there is a picture of cookie monster wrestling over a cookie on my other screen. There are 2 people online, both I never speak to - one I don't even know.

Dr. Who is my only companion in this cruel world, of unemployment and lack-luster relationships. Captain Picard was entertaining but only made so many episodes of TNG, and is a bit of a jerk in real life I suppose.... So I default to facebook, my window to presumed happiness - almost perfect in its way of sharing, telling "friends" (strangers) things I didn't even want them to know. I am a hermit, sitting on top of a hill - sharing secrets about myself through a means of social networking, which can only be explained as unifying, addicting, and mind numbingly stupid. Never visiting anyone, never traveling anywhere... because I get my social high through a means of self-destructive entertainment.
