I don't think FB is a replacement for real friends. In my case I moved thousands of miles away from the area I was raised. I don't have any people in my current area as FB friends becuse I see them and often. I do however have friends back home whom I have stayed in touch with since elementary through high school. Then there are the college friends. So yea FB can be a valuable tool for staying in touch,inviting old friends to visit,keeping up with their lives and keeping them updated on mine.
My life long friends mean a lot to me and I to them.
I quit using FB, it was getting too unrealistic living in a cyber world, does anyone really care when or where people eat or when they have a random thought? No.
It was fun a few years ago but the novelty wore off, it got to be a competition over how many likes you could get. I also felt like I was being "watched" a bit too closely by some friends and relatives. I would write a post or comment on another post and would receive comments about how they notice what I've been doing lately. Really? I don't need stalkers or need to be asked about things that they are not directly involved with.
If you don't have facebook you don't have messages that are not replied to then you don't have stress over it.
I deactivated all "social media" accounts and took aol instant messenger off of my phones and computer. IF you want to chat call me or text and ask if I'm busy THEN call me.
Depends, some people don't use facebook that often or are just horrible with technology. However if they deliberately ignore me then they are deleted immediately.
Do you have ppl that never responds to your messages or barely respond to your messages? How does that makes you feel?
Yes and it makes me feel like crap. Those people are shallow. There is this one person who I tried to 'get in' with and they treated me like rubbish so in the end I just cut all contact with them. Just think to yourself 'stuff them'.
I send legitimate messages to people, searching advice or some information that I know they have.
When the message I sent to them is read, as is noted, I insist that once the receiver opened and read my message, that they, as common courtesy and netiquette, should reply, at the least, to acknowledge they received my message.
Recognizing that people usually are very busy, and don't have spare time to dabble answering messages.
Something brief, is fine, such as:
Thx; Back 2 U L8er: in touch soon: Busy now; No time; Got it!; Sounds good, etc., etc.
Those type of "quickie" replies only take a few seconds to key in.
The person who sent U the message will appreciate being acknowledged, even if it is not the reply they are hoping for.
