I actually feel liberated after deleting my Facebook account 6 months ago.
I dont sit around wasting my life on ther
I dont stalk random people
I have alot more privacy
I am so much less involved to gossip, i hardly know anything anymore so nothing to gossip about
People gossip about me so much less now
Does anyone else actively not have a facebook account?
i found FB very **intrusive and uncontrollable***. ppl put way too much private info. it can be outright dangerous, especially for young impressionable minds.*
i DELETED my accounts within days of opening one!!! :D
I de-activated mine 8 month ago for exact same reasons. I was an addict and was wasting my time away. Felt so librated afterwards. My acocunt is still there but I do not think I will ever go back to it.
This does not mean I do not miss things about it. I have lost touch with friends too and it is hard to keep up with emails/texts/calls....and also I miss out on events/social gatherings going on around the city. However in the end it is not worth my precious time being wasted away :)
P.S. I agree FB is big time gossip hub and everything people add on it now seems so superficial looking for attention.
Am I glad, no grateful that God did not put the idea in my head to open Face Book account. Most of them are retards looking for attention mom and dad didn't give 'em.

FB for me is a very good way to keep in touch with friends around the world but i have been thinking about deleting my account for the reason that some times too much of information is shared on fb, even though i have always been taking certain precautions like dont discuss family on wall or dont let my colleagues see my wall.
There was a report i saw that more and more people are quitting fb these days and this number was arond 700,000 for the last months (though fb denied this report). So lets see what i do in coming weeks :)
I am in the process of deactivating my fb account as well. I did live quite an interesting time on FB but havent been active since last 5 months or so.
