Edit: Important to note tough: I have absolutely nothing against people who post what they do in real life on facebook.
They are actually using facebook as it is supposed to be used.
I always was one of those that were fascinated with the idea that, because of facebook, we will be able to see each other growup. One might start a family, one might have a divorce, one might travel the world and so on. Even if it was a friend I only had temporary, I would always be able to follow him trough his life.
Creepy or not, let´s just say I had a fascination with facebook, as many others.
I am part of the majority that has it as a habit of opening it up and to log on when I begin my computer session.
Check what´s happening, who´s online, and whatnot.
But since the beginning of last week...
I just don´t care
Not as in: OH look everyone, I am removing my facebook account, because I don´t caareeee.
But more that I have lost interest in it... Like how I have lost interest in other gadgets, or how I lost interest in a tv serie, or a book serie, or games.
I just don´t care anymore
I see myself barely logging in anymore, and I used to be quite anxious of what I had on my wall, as I wanted it to look interesting and fun. And funny enough, the last entrances could be seen as quite underwhelming (not many likes, awkward conversations for people not being my peers).
But I didn´t just care; I could have left very interesting last entrances (Have photos from a great vacation and a party - you get my drift)
I find no interest in checking whose online, I have thought of deleting my account, but I must have it to contact some people (Business related).
But that´s about it.
I understand how myspace, and all the other hot ¨social¨ sites could have died out. Must have seen unthinkable at the time, that they would just die out.
But it really: People come as fast as people go, if a big part of the flock leaves, so will the rest of the herd.
So where do I stand after this little nugget change?
Actually, I feel relieved.
I feel like a better person, like I don´t have to care anymore. Before I had been anxious because I didn´t care enough that I didn´t care about facebook.
And I guess I didn´t find anything interesting there, even tough my feed was quite eventful, it wasn´t interesting.
There was no fun in it, only a fake veil of responsibility.
And it made me miss my friends, even if they were right there.
I wonder if I will come back?

Whoa reddit guys... O_o
Facebook has its purposes but you have to see it for what it is: An easy tool to keep in contact with people that you really don't want to keep contact with on a day to day basis. Like you old high school class, your old wow guild or what not. When you realize this you can use it for what it is and not a "I want to see what everyone is doing"-site.

used it to get in touch with a girl i liked..she didnt like me back....no more facebook :D
|
Facebook is kind of boring. All I use it for today is organising various things because I don't have that persons phone number
|
Same goes for ladder ranking I suppose. Generates anticipation, expectation and a lot of useless stress and anxiety (depending on what you're personality is, obviously) and at some point you just feel like quitting, or just "not caring anymore" about it.

Yep, me neither, and you wouldn't believe the amount of shit I've gotten over the years for it.
"What do you mean you don't have a faaacebook? Everybody does! Whare, are you socially retarded or something?"
The interesting thing is, I actually am. Haha
|
I use it for keeping up with school. Quite good for that (especially university) and talking to the odd person or two using the chat. Aside from those, I don't really use it
|
Oh my friend completed another quiz and wants me to do it too? 
|
i need it to talk to my friends since Aim became secondary nowadays lol
i dont like texting/calling really
i havent touched any of the apps on facebook really.. i used a few to freeload stuff like Tristana + skin for LoL and some extra gold for Tribes hehe but are they really considered apps
|
The only reason I have one these days is because the student groups that I am a part of at my uni have their own user-groups/pages that are useful for trading used books and organizing events. Surely there might be other ways to organize that kind of stuff, but since most of the people in the groups use fb anyway it is more convenient I suppose.

Seriously, fuck facebook. If somebody wants to talk to me they can call me, or find me.
