Leaving Facebook
37 Answers
If anyone here is on FB with me, please know I have deleted my account for the time being. I have encountered quite a bit of drama there and found it is replacing "real time friendships" in a big way.
I am pleased to be back here on AB.
Has anyone else dropped FB? I am afraid i won't be able to stick to my guns as I miss it!

perhaps i'm missing something, or maybe it's because i simply don't understand how it works, but why be on facebook when you have the same friends in the flesh?
i come on this site to while away a bit of time, ask questions, hopefully give some answers, whatever, but i just fail to see the allure of a cyber space - facebook - to chat to people i already know.
i like to see my proper friends properly, face to face, or speak on the phone. what's the advantage of having those same people on facebook? i keep in touch with those from school, old work colleagues, etc., who i want to keep in touch with. there's a reason why i don't keep in touch with others, and them with me. we're simply not, and never have been, close friends.
explain please :)

ethan, That is my point exactly. In all seriousness, I am thrilled when my friends' children reach a milestone in their lives. Pick up the phone and tell me. I have had almost no face time with my 2 best girlfriends in the last 6 months. They say "Oh, we talk on FB all the time." Either they don't see my point or they are cooled towards the friendship.
Time will tell.

I have about 20 friends on FB an they are all genuine friends. A lot of them are old friends who have moved away - most of them abroad, and I can't afford to call them very often to keep in touch. I don't do the whole posting a status and sending out block news, I usually tend to chat to friends when we are both online. It's more like a conversation than sitting down to email and thinking 'what have I got to tell them?' and ending up with the standard, how are you, everyone here is fine etc. I do have my daughter and Mr mac on too though - mainly so I can send them cheeky messages while we are in the same room ;)
TRT how do you know I cannot depend on those 50 people?
As I say I choose people very carefully. I would class them as friends seeing as I don't have any close ones.
I have my friends on FB because most work away/live away/are family who are not in the country etc... I actually only joined because people I love moved away.
