Not having Facebook

Lemme also add that watching people on facebook grow up into normal adults while I barely change at all makes me feel like crap.

Definitely not. In fact, I am just about to close my account because I am so bored with it.
You have people adding you that you rarely talked to in high school, and if you were good friends in high school/college, there's a good chance you talk or get together without the aid of facebook.
So don't feel bad about not having it; it's a rather pointless site.

I just deactivated my account an hour ago because of that. It's depressing seeing everyone out there going to parties and having fun and seeing each other. My ex told me i was being paranoid how can Facebook be depressing? Well if you don't go anywhere no one comes to visit you, and you see people posting there fun times and you have nothing to post it you get down. I can honestly, I know this forum isn't the happiest place in the world but It is 100 times better than being on facebook. I had 165 friends on there and maybe I'm being paranoid but no one talks to me an:
:d they really stopped talking to me when i broke up with me ex. Sorry for the rant and going off topic. But i hate Facebook with a passion. Hmm i wonder how many people will realize i deleted my account?

Yeah Facebook is tricky for me because I'm thin skinned and get hurt if I send something to someone...like one of those gift applications, and they have a friend who's a bully,. They'll put some nasty comment that makes no sense. I'm 28 and that will actually bother me. I've been considering getting off but my sister and I have good times on it. Maybe I'll just defriend 90% of the people since we never hang out.
Don't sweat it...you're not missing much

that is annoying...cause then you feel pressured to live it up. If you look closely though it's probably the same three people hanging out with eachother

update: i ended up making one. i have a question... a lot of acquaintances have messaged me/posted on my wall, and once i've replied, they take ages to reply back, or seem to ignore my response altogether. does this happen to anyone else? is what i say so awkward that it's not worth responding to? this has happened 4-5 times now. why do they message me in the first place, if they're not really interested? blah.
other than that, it's a good way to stay in touch with friends and family..

I don't have Facebook/Myspace, etc. I'm not ashamed for it, no. Even if I had an active social life, it's not something I would prefer. I just feel like email and messenger is enough.
facebook is not a standard of quality for someone's life. I know people that don't have problems socializing but they don't have facebook.
also there are others who are ashamed of what they are in real life and they add all the people on earth just to make the impression that they know a lot of people....I think that's lame.
also, I heard that there a lot of people talking about facebook addiction.
and last, it's not so good to post your identity details. know a case of a woman in germany got arrested after some law breaker used her identity details to make all kind of economic crimes. so it's good to be careful

I don't have facebook or myspace and have never really used msn either. It's never been an issue for me and no one has ever said anything about it. These weren't around when I was a teenager though. It is one less thing for me to worry about or have to spend time thinking about and analysing.

I have facebook and have about 47 people on it.. some are family, some are people who I have met through my husband that are really nice people we sometimes socialize with, and also people I went to school with who never talked to me then but sent me a friend request. I guess to collect people.. I think some people on there just get as many people as they have ever come into contact with to friend them on facebook just so they look like they have hundreds of friends and look like they're all that! But I really don't have anyone on my facebook that I wouldn't call a friend or a family member except a few and I have thought about taking them off.I really didn't want rif raf on there.. just my friends and family. I post things that i'm feeling about that my old classmates could care less about...

Facebook is pretty much the only thing that makes me feel like a normal teenager. I only have 82 friends while everyone else has like 600 so I feel like a loser anyway. Half of them are people I met online & the rest are pretty much random people from school I never talk to except a few. I'm too nervous to add people because they'll be like, "ew that freak" and reject me.
