Facebook Meltdown
Jan. 27th, 2013 10:59 amHave been upset this morning. I accepted that I am addicted to facebook, like someone addicted to poker machines. The amount you get back is nowhere near the effort you put in. Rather, it's just barely frequent enough to keep playing the game. Too often, Facebook makes me feel bad about myself. The trouble is that on FB I get drawn into all sorts of crap that I can't back away from. I constantly see shared photos (like "BORN THAT WAY") that are "convenient" but mostly self-serving. The mob reaction scares me, because frankly to ones advocating stuff aren't much different than the ones that oppose them. And that feeds into the addition.
Time to step away and just NOT DO IT for a while.
I've hidden all links to Facebook on my browsers and turned OFF the email notifications. Hopefully I will be less tempted to use it.
