Facebook has hit the fan, recently. It is an overload of information. Although I care about my friends, I do not want to know what they write on someone else’s wall, or see what comment they made on someone else’s photo, or have a live feed of their every move. Although I have a definite addiction to social media, the main website that I was most addicted to has become my worst nightmare. Facebook is pushing me away.
The worst part about Facebook pushing me away is that I still feel obligated to check my notifications every day, multiple times a day. It makes me feel like I have to answer to it, or my friends will see that I never responded… and that isn’t nice not to respond to your friends on Facebook.
Apparently another thing that isn’t nice to do on Facebook, is deny their friend request. Instead of declining their request all together, you have to hit “Not Now”, as if to say, “we’re not friends right now, but maybe in the future we will be! J”. No, we probably won’t, especially if they are from some distant state and are 30 years older than me. People deny friend requests for a reason, and I feel like Facebook has taken that away. Are Facebook friend requests so serious that it makes us let people down easy? How does that help with rejection in real life?
It doesn’t.
But…
Facebook doesn’t really help with a lot of things in real life.
