I love social media in general and also find it fascinating as well as sometimes terrifying but I've learn to live with it. For me it's a great thing to have since I've made a few friends from my exchange programmes and I keep up to date with them thru that. The bf leaves in England and I live in Peru so FB is a bit of life saver for us. But I also know how crazy it can get. I mean from one simple comment we had a gigantic fight the other day with some friends with I thought was really pathetic. But, once again, I think if you have a set of rules for it then you'll survive.<br />My rules are:<br />- Don't accept everyone, yes we went to uni together but no I don't consider you a friend or unwanted family members are also banned from my profile.<br />- If you're gonna post it then you would also say it in real life.<br />And I know I have more but those are the two I kinda live by. My friends have all turned into little workaholics so inbox with a bunch of people keep everyone up to date with the next event we might have :)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682032723616696146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-503962788129521802012-09-15T11:45:42.783+01:002012-09-15T11:45:42.783+01:00I still use Facebook but not as often as I did.

I do not bother with anyone else and I very rarely accept requests from people I do not know. I find it useful up to a point but in no way does it nor will it ever, dominate my life.JohnofJenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954122499424969061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-30182509815757576162012-09-14T20:14:04.525+01:002012-09-14T20:14:04.525+01:00I've de-activated my FB account on numerous oc...I've de-activated my FB account on numerous occasions when it all gets too much, i've made the decision to completely delete my personal account and just keep one related to my blog, some days I go on, some day's I don't bother, i've not got too many friends and can keep up better!!

It does feel like a burden, especially since I don't like to post anything myself and only use the dm's. I want to simplify my life and shutting down facebook this weekend will be a big step. Thanks for the inspiration.

This year I have joined a fitness group via FB as well, and the people on there do inspire me to get off my lazy butt and do some exercise. I also receive the messages from Leonie from The Goddess Circle, which really help me to feel calmer and like I can take control of my life. I would love to have FB just for the fitness group and the Goddess Circle stuff, but then I know I would end up feeling the guilt of not keeping up with what is going on in everyone elseĀ“s lives :o( LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778171833372717942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-79128369408162842812012-09-14T16:31:06.121+01:002012-09-14T16:31:06.121+01:00Hi Imy, I definitely know where you coming from wi...Hi Imy, I definitely know where you coming from with this. When I was recently abroad, I had only occasional internet access & found I really didn't miss it. Since I've been back I've been finding both Twitter & FB just hard work! I'm keeping them for the time being but know where you're coming from :) <br />xxAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657083184744111032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-22631936481238373532012-09-14T15:25:45.604+01:002012-09-14T15:25:45.604+01:00I have never used it, I don't think there'...I have never used it, I don't think there's any point to. And every time I see someone like you, "leaving", or worse, wanting to "leave" I'm more and more convinced that there is really no point at all using it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-23422497064512532292012-09-14T15:14:12.509+01:002012-09-14T15:14:12.509+01:00I also dumped Facebook maybe 9 months ago?

I love how they don't trust you to delete the account, you must request it be deleted and then wait two weeks (without looking at it) before it actually goes away. They seriously don't want to lose any users. I'm annoyed with how Facebook has so profoundly messed up the natural ways that human beings interact with each other. Facebook and mobile phones...

I gave up on facebook long ago, and have been left with quality relationships rather than status fodder. <br /><br />Facebook creates a whole new form of etiquette...to friend or not to friend...to poke or to message or to post upon the public forum of their wall...which being the most intimate...which being too intimate...which indicating that you just don't care? If I don't 'like' something, will that make my 'friend' think that I don't actively like it? Or does it just mean that I'm away from the computer (the horror)... Honestly, it's exhausting. Congrats on the shut down. I know so many people who say they will but then never do. ^_^ (Whispering Rabbit)MTMTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718876169303722532noreply@blogger.com
