It has been almost a year already since I decided to stop using facebook. Tell you what, It feels great not seeing all these showbiz personalities, the faces of these stupid politicians, the drama etc...Would you quit facebook?, just try it and I assure you of one thing and that's "Reality".
I know exactly what you are saying.
at them moment my facebook wall reembles more a PR channel.
all my acquiantences are projecting on just how popular and succesful their are and im onstantly being targeted with products fb things I need to acquire.
sad and depressing. caught myself thinking - do I need this?I subconciously started comparing myself to all those happy people and my every day live events are so far from what I see on my wall this is slowly having a derogatory effect on my wellbeing.
on the otherhand I travel quite a lot and this helps me to stay in touch with many friends living accross the world.
It is what it is and can be a useful tool provided you are resistant to this happy life projecting bulls*t.
