i dont use facebook either though everyone i know does, it creeps me out a bit. i had an account about three years ago, and the folks i knew in good fun would post pictures and videos with me and them in it, and i couldnt figure if everyone could see it or just me its really a weird idea to make a webpage of your life and have people from elementary school be able to track you down.
Nope, don't have one, don't want one. I'm against it. I feel like fb is a bunch of nosey people. I would rather talk to someone over the phone or in person. I would actually feel more awkward talking to people through facebook. I wouldn't' know for sure if they wanted to talk to me or liked me. I find speaking to someone in person can reveal a lot more about them and what they think of you, or even a phone call but not social networking sties. I had a myspace a few years ago and deleted it in one week, I found myspace to be the stupidest thing ever.

For me the main point of Facebook is just to share pictures and things like that. To be honest the apps kind of annoy me and I've thought off and on about deleting it. Honestly I think Facebook could be a bad choice for people with SA in some circumstances (having to worry about what you post and what people think about what you post, people posting crazy pics of you, etc). And Myspace is worse. It's for cyberbullies and stalkers. Yeah I'd say besides the picture sharing thing, life is better without them.

I feel lame HAVING a facebook.
I joined a loooong time ago before it even became popular and now that this whole buzz is going on I regret making one. I tried deactivating my account before but I found out that the account still exists and I can't find any ways to permanently delete it. I especially want to delete it now that my family members keep texting me and asking me to message/add them on facebook. They're the last people I want to talk to after all the drama they've put me and my mother through the last few years or so.

FB, FB, FB, FB.
I've got one.
Rarely there. Surprise!
It did reconnect me with a distant good friend. So I give it that.
About not having it: Have it - okay. Not have it - okay.

I used to do this lol. I know the feeling.I don't have a facebook account but I made a fake one the other day. I looked people I have know from the past again. Now i feel so depressed!
I think it's worth having one if you can - it makes it easier to stay connected with your friends, be invited to things, etc. I'm somewhat ashamed of mine though, because I've got about half the number of friends, photos, wall comments as most people... in that respect it's a little embarrassing.

I have one but i hardly ever use it, only because it feels really uncomfortable and i dont like the idea of people i know posting random stuff on my wall then other people read it and when i see them they may have something to say about it. no thanks. to me its no different to being at a party somewhere irl with everyone being invasive. at the same time i dont really care how many friends people have or their photos either, i am not that interested. I will stay on there only because if i delete my account people will ask me "why did you delete your facebook account" in the future..then again i have met many popular people who also dont like having a facebook, they just have one because they were pressured into it.
i met this girl who was the last person you'd expect to be against facebook. she just deleted it and got on with life.
i think the biggest mistake was making an account in the first place. i just dont like the stigma or how expected it has become that everyone should have one.

Whenever someone asks me whether I have a Facebook, simply I respond with ''No''.
Having a Facebook page and not having use for it is like;
Having a garage full of tools, but no knowledge on how to use them.
Or, like having a wine cellar, but not even drinking wine.
Useless. :3
People that require you to have a Facebook in order to socialize with you, aren't your friends. There are still people without internet, or even computers, let alone a Facebook. You're just fine, and just as wonderful without it. ;3

It's alright. I have one. I have a love and hate relationship with it. It's just depressing when I see other people having fun and getting invited to parties/social events and seeing pictues. Why take the time to add "friends" or accept "friend" requests and read their statuses if they can't take the time to see you in person or talk to you on the phone.

I'm only on Facebook because I find it slightly addicting at times not because I feel the need to have one. Just because you don't have a facebook account doesn't mean you don't have a social life it only means you think for yourself and don't get sucked into what everyone else is doing
Well just in case you ever do get a facebook add me! [email protected]
