Made accounts, lasted a couple months, deleted, repeat.
Its obnoxious, and its also so phony.
If we all know this, why is there so much pressure to have and maintain an account?
I know you don’t look as good as your trying to in all those pictures, I know your life is not that great, and most importantly, I don’t need to see 500 pictures of your ugly kid!
Its just too much and I swear it makes me crazier. That world is not healthy.
I don’t have any social media accounts. But I was surprised to learn that everybody seems to post an idealised version of themselves on there. I’ve heard that from a few people.
I’m on Facebook just to stay in touch with some persons but I never post anything. I only use Messenger. I hate Facebook. Some people look a lot narcissistic on it.
The need to validate oneself is an innate feeling. We are social monkeys and primates after all, but monkeys do it through social interaction including touch and vocalisation, however, modern Millenials through the devices of capitalism which promotes competition and isolation means that social media has become a virtual alternative. This virtual replacement won’t ever replace the reality of human need, but offers a glimpse of what all humans crave.
We will always need communication and the young will never realise it through the virtual world, but grasp at it through invisible hands. It will never satisfy truly, but offer you titbits, rewarding the pleasure senses momentarily, and then make you miserable. Realise this…
I find a lot of the things I see on social media triggering but apparently that makes me a ‘snowflake’ (and that term just invalidates mental health).
Maybe I’m just becoming apathetic because I don’t really care about what people post anymore (unless I’m triggered lol).
I don’t have a FB Account anymore. The only people it had that I ever knew were mostly people from the Church I went to that had no time for me once we left the Church. I have no friends, but that’s better than fake friends.
I have facebook page for my artwork and i’m trying to sell some of my paintings… I have a facebook account which i keep deactivating cos i’m not like the normies. i keep deleting my instagram and twitter due to paranoia. i dont really hate instagram but sometimes i hate facebook.
I cried myself purple today from a sensational headline saying Japan was about to be nuked by North Korea. I have family in Japan. It turned out to not be a nuclear missile and it went into the sea, but I’m taking a break from social media anyway.
I’ve never had a facebook account. I don’t have anything against it, I just don’t feel like I’d fit in. I’m not particularly interesting. Just an average schizophrenic. I used to be a wedding singer and one of my bandmates made a myspace to put us out there. It was against my consent. I didn’t care much but now I’m embarrassed when I google my name.
