Facebook:\u00a0the ultimate ego boosting tool of the 21st century. Not to mention a colossal waste of time.<\/p>\n
It’s funny since I had always refrained from using MySpace because I thought it stupid, yet\u00a0hypocritically\u00a0I caved in to the whole Facebook revolution. More or less recently, my interest and activity with Facebook has been on a steady decline. I used to think it was reasonable to maintain a measure of utility by keeping my account active. But not anymore. I’ve grown an almost addictive habit of checking Facebook daily, which accounts for unnecessary lost time and productivity. I finally determined the negatives were not worth dealing with for the few and dispensable positives. There’s an infinite amount of things that are better to do than go on Facebook, and I’ll tell you why.<\/p>\n
The underlying basis of Facebook revolves around pretension and conceit. Calling it a “social network” site is not entirely transparent nor authentic. The notion of networking has been contorted and\u00a0transmogrified\u00a0into something lost of its original intent.\u00a0All I see when I go on Facebook is a clutter of absolutely useless information. No one really cares or should care about 99% (this is entirely factual) of the stuff others post.<\/p>\n
I realized there was a fundamental fault with Facebook after I saw a pattern of constantly hiding different people from my news feed.<\/p>\n
Made a status update complaining about a trivial inconvenience? Shared a picture of a meal you should be consuming rather than uploading onto the internet? Checked-in to a place as proof to everyone you live an outgoing life? Added 100 more friends that you never met or vaguely even know (but promotes your e-popularity)? Get invited to an event that you will not attend or remotely care about? Expressed your enthusiasm for something that’s quite obviously far more exciting for yourself than anyone else? THE IMMENSITY OF THE FUCK I DO NOT GIVE.\u00a0People are too obsessed with inflating their own image. It’s sad.<\/p>\n
Worst of all is the regret that I shamefully participated in some of these egocentric activities. Oh, the allure and inveiglement Facebook possesses.<\/p>\n
Instead of mindlessly checking Facebook everyday, I can hopefully divert attention to actually living life instead of reading about it.\u00a0If I need to contact someone, I may do so with other means, and vice versa. If not, then I probably don’t need to talk to you in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
