Facebook-Does it annoy anyone else? it seems all fake!¬

It may be me to some extent, but all the connections. The sheer 100s of friends...all interconnected and all seem to say the same words....they all share a common theme of drivel..

Is it because im on the outside?  but im glad in so many ways that i am.

So much falsehood and lies within these circles..and expanses.And many of them likely talk about eachother..

  • Fakebook gives people a hive mind to tap into, one that thrives on victimhood. If they have a smartphone and social media, they're never alone. Narcissists can find people who empathise with their victim playing, drama, attention, validation, without even having to leave the house.

    I admit I have joined FB in lockdown for the first time mainly to start with to connect with relatives and another attempt at trying to make an effort really. I have periods of backing off from everyone but close family and then trying to make an effort again. Anyway apart from family and some Christian posts (Its my faith) I agree it’s a sad place really. Empty pointless stuff. But sticking with it for now as some older relatives need my chatSlight smile

    i just use iMessage or SMS to talk to close family.  Seems I don't have anyone (human) who considers me there 'best friend' anymore.  Given up on human relationships dogs are way more  reliable shame they don't have the same kind of lifespans as people as its really hard on the heart to lose so many of them over the years!

    Yes I am pretty much the same. I have made friends over the years but it never lasts. Recently I seem to have lost 2 friends. One because I was too honest (again) and it seems the other because i shared I have Aspergers. So really no friend at all. Bit depressing but like you I have given up on human friendships. I love my dogs too, yes they don’t have a long enough life span.
