I don't use facebook....bad place in my humble opinion

Even the most loyal friend can disappoint you. We're human. We live in a world where most ppl are self-absorbed in their own circumstances. So maybe you shouldn't take it personal.

I stopped hearing from a really good friend also. I don't know why. I asked her if I did anything wrong; she said "No" but that was all she said and I didn't ask her anything else. I do, however, think she is having serious marital problems as I was well aware of the fact that she was having an affair. But, the reality of it should be, "Life goes on"....as painful as it may be. Yes, it hurts not to see or hear from the one we love & care about but we have to love ourselves MORE. I refuse to run after someone like a lost puppy. I wish to keep some of my dignity. I always remind myself that there is more than one person on the planet.

I don't add people I see on a regular basis; reason being, I notice that that alone can cause A LOT of unnecessary drama (for some reason).

I don't use social media either, other than Pinterest, in my opinion it isn't a true, valid form of connection - it won't enhance or improve my life in any way, it won't give me real connections, and it takes too much time that I'd rather be spending out with real live people. Don't put too much stock in what happens on social media and try to make connections face to face...

Hi there, I do use facebook a fair bit. I have a number of physical limitations that prevent me from having a licence. So it's my way of staying in touch with people.

Yes I can also relate to having to make the effort to initiate conversations, and it feels if I didn't, facebook would be a very lonely place. That said I guess I am lucky in that my friends nearly always respond and offer amazing support to me. I may have more than my fair share of issues but I am always grateful for how lucky I am to have my friends and family.
Hope things pick up for you soon.
Take care hope to chat soon

I think bundles gave an excellent answer. I would have responded along the same lines. That was good advice.

i have "no problem" with facebook---cause there's nobody for me to share facebook with;)

i'll also never have a cellphone for same reason; nobody to talk to when i go somewhere by myself.

"i cried when i had no shoes, till i saw a man with no legs"?

i've met people who dont even have computers....and there are # legless elderly who ride about on main drag of my town, from nearby govt highrise for elderly.

(sundays and first of month for me to always try to be grateful for little i have, before reverting back to thinking of LOTS of back stabbers in my own past)

I definatly would prefer the face to face interactions instead of facebbok. My friends do not live close to me anymore so facebook was a good way to keep in touch. I see extended family face to face a few times a year. As i mentioned before I am legaly blind so meeting people for me is alot harder even in person. I am also bipolar and had lots of drama for several years so that scared people off to. I am thankful to have my family though.

After college I lost contact even with friends that I had gone to school with fr Jr high. I felt like I was making the effort n they werent. I have never added them on facebook. I have a silly name and dont list my schools so they cant find me. I still have my same email address given to alum by the univ so they can technically reach me but havent bothered. I have mostly friendly former and 1 recent coworker and family on fb. I have in the past contacted ppl and made effort to meet irl instead of fb but that didnt work. I have circles of friends that hangout together but never include me. I have blocked fr seeing their posts because its depressing seeing them tag each other having fun. Honestly I have stopped trying to look for friends. People usually have friends established and rarely add outsiders.

I don't like Facebook, I hate seeing all the other people who have stuff
going on in their lives while I have nothing. It just makes me feel bad.
