No one talks to me on social media. Why ?

Post Reply New Topic

When I first started using social media, I wanted to feel like everyone else by posting interesting photos and statuses and funny jokes but after a while I found it frustrating that I wasn't getting a lot of likes and comments except from family and not from people I was 'friends' especially from school or college and that everyone else had hundreds of 'friends' and I had a few 'friends'. I then resorted to writing negative posting on social media (like 'Oh I feel really low', Sigh...., and so on) as a way of getting people to talk to me and in the end I gave up uploading photos and stuff. It didn't always help me when people stopped messaging me, deleted me, blocked me or sent angry messages to stop messaging them and so on and it made me feel like everyone thinks I'm a boring loser and are not interested in me.
I felt like I just wanted to be part of everyone else and when no one was acknowledging me it frustrated me.

I never got the hang of any of it. It was a relief when facebook shut me out. I didn't know my password, saved by

my subconscious I think .

I've noticed the threads on here that get the most responses ask simple, quick to answer, questions.

You're probably not fake enough.

Have you tried joining Facebook groups related to your special interests?
You might have more success that way.

I've found the special interest groups very informative and helpful.
I get lots of inspiration from tumblr too.

I’ve actually mostly abandoned social media or at the very least I’ve corrupted it to my own ends- turning them into ad-hoc news sources for topics I’m interested in, I’ve long abandoned the “social” aspect of them even before being blocked & told-off by a couple of people. My remaining element on Facebook is to have intellectual conversations with smart friends or like-minded friends or to coordinate in games like Pokémon go. But simply put I have no real need to emulate neurotypicals- the more neutotypical they are, the more boring & petty they’ll be, most if not all of my friends that have stuck with me throughout my exile from real-life have a mental disability of some form like adhd or anxiety.

If the sorts of troglodytes who are addicted to Facebook aren't interested in your company, it probably means you genuinely have a personality.

You'd be better off deleting your account. I last used Facebook in 2012, MySpace in 2008 and have never had Twitter or Instagram or any of the other nonsense. Never missed any of it, either.
