Social media

How do you feel about social media.

Personaly im not as hyped about it as all the narcissist on facebook, but hay, each too their own.

Im more a nerd, reading updates on space travel and minerals. That is mostly what I use it for.

Also I like too analyse certan persons, and see if they display any form of personal disorder, og any other psychological traids. I see a lot of narcissism, in full effect on facebook, from persons who are supposed too be "normal". Maybe it is their drug of choice.

Facebook is what I use most often, but im not abusing it, sometimes im of facebook for up too 6 months, at a time.

i recently considered making a facebook because i think things can be more enjoyable when shared, but i'm not sure i'm able to because i also find sharing things extremely horrible and likely to lead to drama. i've tried out anonymous things but i couldn't deal with sharing that way either and i lost interest when it was entirely private. this place isn't bad.

i'm still considering facebook. exposure therapy, haha. but there are so many other things to consider. having to see other people updating/talking, having them respond to my stuff, being stalked....

If I had to choose between getting locked in a library and reading books all day, versus getting locked into facebookland and reading inane facebook comments all day, I'd definitely choose the library.

But if I had to choose between spending all day on facebook versus spending all day talking to people in person and being friendly and engaging and pleasant, I'd choose facebook.

That said, I think facebook is the worst social network because it's full of people "liking" and sending emojis and commenting on each other's stupid feelings all the time. Twitter is much better for me: if you have something to say, say it, and if you don't, look at what other people said.

Even better are the more specific and narrow social networks. The more narrowly focused something is, the less garbage there is on it.

I agree with bouth of you. First of all, when I don't have any serious issues, in may daily lafe, but when I enter facebook, all my alarm bells start to ring. Im in a state of alert and I almost get the adrenaline pumping. Because I feel everyone is reaching out too me, and I don't know what too do or say.

When I react on some comment, I almost feel like a mental hangover afterwards. Dreading what people might say, too put me out of balance and cause a stir.

Second, I just spend six months away from facebook, reading soo many amazing novels. You are right, books are such a pleasent way too spend time. Facebook is really out of my comfortzone, but I sometimes get the idea, that I am normal, and I can handle it.

Im glad you told a little about the feelings you have about the social medias, it made me, realise how it effect us, in a negative way. It is nice, too finaly find some like minded people.

Thank you

i think it affects most people negatively (not that they don't get anything out of it, but still), but for most people it's practically mandatory, and it's easier for them to be a willing participant in the social circus than having to constantly explain "how come they're not there" or "how come they didn't respond"

for me though, i barely have anyone to explain it to. there's no social circle left for me to be singled out from, and the few people i keep in touch with are more-or-less like me too. there's no loop for me to be in or out of. non-anonymous social networks only mean unnecessary exposure to me. with very few exceptions, i don't want people to know about my life, and i don't want to know about theirs. and anyone who might really have a reason to talk to me will probably have my email

for several years now, this website has been the only thing close to so-called social media where i have participated at all, except for another similar website where i started posting only very recently (only because this one had become inactive compared to what it used to be like)

i might start participating on reddit (a few days ago i opened a new account and remade from scratch the list of subreddits i'm subscribed to). chances are i won't, not anytime soon at least, but i like the way how reddit works anyway. anonymous, theme-focused, and you always have the chance to message people individually if you want

I generally avoid social media. I have never had Facebook account. I might have accounts on social networking websites related to books or movies, but I do not add any friends to my accounts. These accounts are used mostly to keep lists of books to read and movies to watch.

I mostly just use Facebook like an RSS feed, to get updates on companies, bands, TV shows, and whatnot. I lost interest in the social aspect of it a long time ago, although I still have a couple of dozen "friends" on there. It's mostly people who I couldn't unfriend without them causing dramas or trying to stage an intervention, like relatives and some former best friends.

It's a good backup for when I really need to contact someone but can't call or text, too.

I used to have facebook, but i deleted it about 3 years ago. I'm intolerant to most nonsense people post on their facebook.
Also I don't really get why people have the need to share EVERYTHING they do.

Nothing wrong with using facebook as long as you know that you are giving up a lot of your rights to privacy by doing so.

I dream 5. Im baffled. Just like that, you are dealing with all the elements of facebook, like it no big deal. Wouw! I see your point, the privacy thing is a bugger.
No, seriously, how is that even possible, if you have SPD?
Perhaps, you want too let us in on your secret
