reactivated my account on facebook only to delete it once and for all, this made me happy :)

came across interesting facts in an article online on psychological effects caused by spending too much time on that website

• Facebook gives us the ability to put forth only what we want people to know and see. We only put up the best pictures of ourselves, the most intellectual statuses and quotes, and our “about me” always sparkles not only with wit, but also just a few of our favorite things [..] it is quite difficult for those that do to live up to the way they portray themselves on Facebook

• After posting their lives for their friends to see and to judge, people have come to use Facebook to gauge not only their relationships, but also their level of importance. This leads to anxiety in people who seek approval from others

another article adds stress, envy, divorce, narcicism and health problems as other possible natural consequences… sth to think about… 11 months ago

ever since I’ve stopped using facebook, I’ve lost a few ‘friends’ and some other people got mad at me for not answering their e-mails in the minutes that followed, after they’ve just sent them. Honestly leaving facebook (for the second time) was a very important decision for me, because I want to give myself the chance to live my life, not dream it away. And if some people cannot understand or respect that, then I am sorry but I will not be part of their tragic chorus – nothing compares to the magic of reality. 11 months ago
