<p>Such haters operate of of envy or the desire for attention. “Social life” is at the bottom of my list of priorities, though.</p>
<p>^Off topic, I like your post count, 69 is a nice number. . .</p>
<p>I heard about the hacker group also. I wonder if some people can go a day or two with no Facebook. Facebook has way too many security holes.</p>
<p>I had a Twitter for like 10 minutes just to see what the hype was all about and then deleted it. Facebook is way better.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wait, what? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>The break down goes something like this: 250 people from high school (where there were 6200 people and I was actively involved in sports and theater), 25 people from elementary school (my entire class), 175 from college (which is almost my entire residential college class and then some from other areas like theater and orgs), and another 70 or so from family and other organizations I am involved in. It’s not like I add strangers. </p>
<p>I don’t recall ever saying that I needed them to feel good about myself. I had a healthy amount of self-esteem before facebook and I am just fine now. So go away, sad.</p>
<p>^ Completely agree with romanigypsyeyes. I don’t know anybody that adds friends just to say they have more friends. I add people I only somewhat know because it’s possible that their input could be useful in the future. </p>
<p>For example, there are 200 or so chemistry/chemical biology/chemical engineering majors in my year that all take the same chemistry/physics/math courses the first two years. I only know probably a third of those people very closely, but it would be useful to add all 200 of them on Facebook if possible, in case I have a specific question about the coursework. Like what if I posted as my status: “Will NMR be on the O-Chem midterm tomorrow?” All 200 people would be capable of answering that question, not just the third of the class that I know very closely.</p>
<p>So yeah, people need to shut the hell up about self-esteem, because that’s not necessarily what Facebook is all about.</p>
<p>^You obviously do have self esteem issues because look at how you ended your response. Why so defensive? </p>
<p>“ME NO HAVE SELF ESTEEM ISSUES…ME BEAT YOU UP IF YOU SAY THAT AGAIN!”</p>
<p>

<p>sadcollegestud, where was I defensive at all? I don’t see that at all.</p>
<p>I was just saying that my grades in college can be directly attributed to facebook.</p>
<p>^Just don’t feed the ■■■■■…</p>
<p>I briefly had a twitter account, just wasn’t for me, but I don’t care about keeping up with celebrities. I have a Facebook account mostly so I can keep in contact with people I worked with in different states and Canada. I hate talking on the phone, so, it’s easier to just kind of keep old acquaintances at arms length but be able to hang with them again if I vacation in the area. It cuts down on how much time I have to spend catching up on what they’ve been doing for the last year since I saw them last.
I love that I’ve had people add me that I haven’t seen in 4-5 years and met relatives that I knew existed but had never really talked to. It’s convenient for that.</p>
<p>LOL. When someone has nothing to say they throw out the ■■■■■ comment. Haha.</p>
<p>Irrelevant people are funny. </p>
<p>And @singh:
</p>
<p>Was there a need to say shut up? Romani responded to me without saying that. That’s why I called you defensive.</p>
<p>I don’t see any difference between “go away” and “shut the hell up”. They mean the same thing where I come from. If you think they mean different things, I apologize. But to me they mean exactly the same thing.</p>
<p>Huh? 10char</p>
<p>“They mean the same thing where I come from.”</p>
<p>O_o</p>
<p>^Right? And they call me the ■■■■■ lol.</p>
<p>Telling someone to go away on a forum is the same as telling them to not post on the thread. Not posting on a thread is the same as shutting up.</p>
<p>Whoever said the comment about having 200 friends to ask questions about coursework is silly. You could do that, but you could also pay attention or ask the professor when quizes/ tests wil be days in advance… or email him… I do similar things. Filipinos clearly DO add people just to have a nice “collection.” It’s a status symbol (it was friendster in those days). do you think if they called it something other than “friends,” people woulnt’t be so obsessed with showing te world how big their friend circle is?</p>
<p>My fb Has a few army buddies. I dont allow family in there because I show a different side there. If I wanna put an adult joke on my wall… 500 friends does not make sense.</p>
<p>Eh to me “go away” just doesn’t have the same emotion behind it as “shut the hell up.”</p>
<p>^ But that’s a matter of opinion, which is all I was saying.</p>
