It will be three years this June that my Facebook has been deactivated and it was the smartest decision I made since I stopped eating dollar store frozen food.
There are numerous reasons I am not a fan of Facebook. One being I don't enjoy being reminded that when I was younger I went through a very awkward stage in which I should of never been photographed during. Two being those drunken tagged photos the day after I drank myself into a comma doesn't make me feel too great. And three, I have enough needless social media aggravation between obnoxious Twitter and Instagram posts that I don't need anymore.
Nonetheless, I found those to be good enough reasons to deactivate it, but the main reason I have no interest in Facebook is because I have no interest in anyone's lives that I need to find out information about through a post.
If you are a close friend, or part of my family then everything I need to know about you, I know. I do not need to worry about you posting big news on Facebook and finding out there first. I am aware that the closest people in my life keep me in the loop of what's going on before posting it for people they haven't spoken to in four years to read.
Plus, it does not concern me that Lisa is visiting Europe for the second time this year. Or Jessica is engaged to her very wealthy high school sweetheart.
The things I see on Facebook just boggle my mind.....
Like my cat died or I just got my third new job, with hopes people care.
It's bad enough some people's self-esteem's are ruined after the "like" button was created, but now this is another factor of not only "liking" a picture but giving you attention by liking your posts or commenting on your page.
And why is it after some people Instagram a photo they have to also add it to their Facebook?!?! Seeing it once was enough.
Oh it's great how everybody turns into a comedian.. "Got Beat Up by Beat The Clock".. Lol
And yes I love my dog but does he need to be tagged in his own Facebook page?... I think not.
I don't mean to be a negative Nancy, I am not trying to be negative at all. My friends bitch at me all the time for deactivating my Facebook. They tell me I took away pictures of us which was "memories" but some of those memories are better off not being remembered....
I will continue to enjoy my non-Facebook days. Especially after my Mom screams "I just posted a #TBT of you and your brothers."
No thank you.
