This is such a great story....it deals with the love/hate feelings some of us (including me!) have with Facebook! Every now and then I go through a "friend" deleting stage, and then about half way through I start to feel bad and worry what people will think when they find that I've deleted them. Question, why should I care what they think if I don't EVER connect with them, through Facebook of otherwise!?!
And I am guilty of posting overly happy status updates to "one up" people that, as listed above, are not really my "friends" but I want them to think I'm fabulous. Does that make me a bad person, not really, does it make me feel bad, no....because I know I'm not the only one guilty of it:)
It has been nice to reconnect with people, find people that I've been out of touch with....but then again I feel like I'm back in High School again...caring too much about what people think about me, and judging people I don't really know. And besides...do you all really want to know what I'm doing every moment, good or bad?!?
Great article, thanks for sharing! I have such a love/hate relationship with Facebook. In a way it is kind of like blogs in that we put the best of ourselves (most of the time) and it can seem like we lead these perfect lives. I guess at the end of the day it is still about keeping up with the Jones, one way or another!
ReplyDeleteSo true. I've been avoiding sending friend requests to people because I can't decide if I really want to reconnect with them or not, and I've totally had moments of "what will people think if I post this?" FB and I are definitely going through a "hate" phase right now. :)
