My best friend and I engaged in a conversation in regards to Facebook. Originally, I was invited to join by my, then, middle school nephew. I figured to ignore the request since we both had MySpace. Most of us were using MySpace to promote and share information. Plus, Facebook looked boring. Finally, a former co-worker requested me to join if I wanted to remain in contact since she moved. So I decided to join because I "thought" I wanted to remain contact with her, but I ended up deleting her in less than a year. So people found me from my past life to my present life. And I also had a crazy female stalker send me a nasty message that had nothing to do with me except her obsession for my daughter and her father. The difference, I had his child and she married him knowingly he never really loved her.
Of course, let not forget my male stalkers. I rejected in person but I guess they wanted to look at my photos. But I am a kind person. Then, it hit me. People read my materials and thought I was entertaining but they never responded. Then, they would find me and whine to me. I could go on. But what is worst, your enemies of your past wanted to be your present Facebook friend. Yeah, we have grown up, but we hadn't grown up that much.
Needless to say, I got rid of it. But I missed my closest friends to share my photos and stories. So I created a new account under an AKA. I had people of my present familiar or familiar ideas. But it repeated itself again, however, the difference was, I liked my friends and became slowly to dislike them.
Unless you are spreading a message, promoting a business or oneself, a needy person, or just a nosey person, it isn't for an opinionated person.
I had a former friend tell me that she liked to be friends with her exes so she could look at their pages. Basically, she told me,"I hope the bastard is miserable and have ugly women for leaving me or doing me wrong". Me, I have no interest of any of my exes returning in my life. They were an ex for a reason. NOT MY PROBLEM.
To my original subject, I sit in class and I see people looking at their Facebook that is free and not paying attention in class that cost, lets see, $80 per credit. Boys are stalking girls. Girls are stalking boys and girls. Who knows! But every person I talk to with a Facebook is talking about someone. I am guilty of it more recently. Like I said, my opinion have left the social network.
I don't beleive in being fake. And Facebook has become it. Fake people. Your real friends do not need a Facebook to keep you updated, it is called an email or a phone call. After I get rid of my 2nd Facebook account, I know which people on my list who will call me.
