I'm glad you posted this. This site is for feedback.

There are so many angry and vicious quotes about Facebook on Pinterest. I was just looking for a quote for someone passive-aggressive. There were tons of quotes re passive aggressive posts on FB. It seems to be a great place for family and friends to connect, but equally popular with plenty of people for spying on people they are jealous of, or can't stand.

I don't like the way it's set up, sending you names of people you
'might' know or want to friend. And I don't like the way many people use it to "get out" people they resent.

You can always re-join, if you decide to cancel.

"Welcome To Facebook
The Place Where Relationships Are Perfect
Liars Believe Their Own Bullshit, And The
World Shows Off They Are Living A Great
Life. Where the Enemies Are The Ones That
Visit Your Profile The Most. Your Friends
And Family Block You. And Even Though
You Write What You Are Really Thinking
There Is Always Someone That Takes It
The Wrong Way. "

"get at".

I am a much older man than you and only thing I have on facebook is a business page for my driving school.....I hate facebook....so dump it...I do not use it for any reason other than to put up my business card....

I have 20 ca. fb friends -- very few, so I can keep good track of each one. Am an environmental activist, and much of what I read on fb is along that line. I've been logging in maybe once a month any more.

hehe

With even as much control as that, I can see that fb encourages adolescent behavior. Eg: ppl bragging about trips they've just taken.

It is invasive personally. Anyone devoting much time to it is askin' for it.

I hope this finds you well, A-Bet . :)

It is what you and your "friends" make of it. Since I and my friends retired or moved on because our work place closed down we use it just to keep in touch. We discuss current events, post links to food, lost animals, family photos etc. Most of us go on several time a day just to take a look at others posts. The negative stuff is about current events not "friends" making negative comments about "friends".

Like I said, it is what you make of it.

As for me, I was able to find my grandkids on fb and a cousin who I haven't seen in 50 yrs. It has been great to reconnect with relatives and friends.

We message each other and share photos. So it is my connection to people.

If you don't use it much...I would just keep it and use it later when you need it.

if you don't mind fake people knowing what you are doing in your life than keep it. I want no parts of it. Been invited by a few people from high school and some family members. The didn't talk to me in high school and I don't want my family in my business.

Also, I think it is RUDE of people on smart phones using facebook all the time when they are supposed to be visiting with me and my family.

I have a face book account and I don't think it helps with loneliness at all. I get more support right here on DS. I have tried to delete my face book account and it's like trying to break a rock, like a hard boiled egg. They make it very hard to do. If anyone else has an answer I am more than open to here it because I sure couldn't do it. I think I would rather go to Google where we can chat and I feel it's more private than Face Book. I have heard horror stories about these places like FB. If someone wants to find anything out about you, that is one of the best places to do it. There is no security there at all, I don't care what they tell us. As Lonesome said, only you know if you should delete your account or not. I just threw in some of my thoughts on the place. I hope it helped rather than confused the situation. Hugs GB

Pinterest, I really enjoyed your post. Thank you for sharing what you did. You made a lot of sense. I like to hear the truth. Hugs GB
