Its the narcissistic side of FB, Insta etc that I hate. The modern day version of 'Keeping up with the Joneses', where people feel the need to show off to friends and acquaintances about how brilliant and exciting their life is, even though its about as real as The Truman Show. No doubt social media can do a lot of good but it can also be extremely poisonous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Surely you severely limit the people you connect with on FB or you admit you're part of the problem and put up with it. Nobody really has 14,000 friends so if you have extended your network beyond your genuine friends then they're always going to annoy you. Set up an account in a false name, don't respond to shite looking for responses. I'm clearly missing something about FB because I really don't see the problem, it's always perceived so negatively. But don't you have to actively choose to engage with the cretins and attention seekers? Same with twitter, I love my little corner of twitter. Just a small bunch of fairly like minded people. if someone comes along that doesn't enhance my life, I just block 'em out. Same on here actually, if someone really is a wrong 'un, I've just blocked them so I don't get the stress. As it happens, on here, it's actually quite rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
