That people are f'ing crazy
I've had people on my friends list be complete jerks to others on my friends list that they don't even know or haven't met just because their opinion didn't match theirs.
I have relatives insulting other relatives they are mad at on my page and then getting mad at me when I delete their comments.
I see people making their life sound so awesome and perfect. I think they forget I know them in real life and know how batsh*t crazy they really are.
Basically all I see are lies, crazy, religion, bragging and political posts. I'm on the verge of deleting my account.

I've thought about doing that. However, Facebook keeps me updated with a few friends across the ocean and one of the coolest people found me on Facebook. She was actually the roommate of a girl I knew in grad school and she found me in July. I'd go over to study with my friend, and also got into some very funny and philosophical conversations with her. She subsequently went to grad library school and our rapport via humor is kept intact despite the years I haven't seen her. She is both very smart and very funny.

I have too much of an imaginary social life to do that.

There are a few people that are cool on my FB. I really hate cutting contact with them. I guess if I ever decide to log back on I will get to connect with them again, but I am really enjoying this break. All the braggers and drama filled people just really started to annoy the hell out of me, which was the main reason why I deactivated it. I felt like I was in high school again.

Lol...I hope not too imaginary like the people on my page. Some of these people I think sometimes forget they have people on their page that know them in real life.

I've learned that apparently I'm one of the few who didn't turn into his parents after high school.

I deactivated mine a couple years ago and don't usually miss it.

What I found is that hardly anyone you'd really enjoy talking to or keeping up with will ever bother. It's all the other people you get to put up with.
