I have a Facebook account and did not enjoy it until I started posting things myself. That seems to be the key. It's certainly not a necessary part of life. Even though I only joined to see what my grandchildren were doing, I still spend WAY too much time on there looking at silly videos. It's basically a big WASTE-O of TIME-O.

Plus, fortunately for me, I've never seen any bad stuff on my Facebook. I would be so upset if I saw someone saying something horrible about me or one of my acquaintances or family.  :'(

And don't even get me started on Candy Crush! OMGoodness!

I have had Facebook for many years. I did deactivate my account a few years ago but reactivated it in the past year. I like it for articles and things like that but I hate to hear everyone whine about all their problems. I don't like to post about my life for everyone to see or take notice. I go back and forth whether or not it's really worth my time...

I am not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The only social media I use is linked in.

I used to have a Facebook account, back when it was the "new thing" and everyone was on it and trying it out. I did like it for awhile, but later I got depressed by using it. I couldn't keep up with my friends' "cool lifestyle", and their "perfect children". Having a disabled child will do that to you. I found myself comparing to others, which was not healthy. So I deactivated my account FOR GOOD! I did try Instagram recently, but started to get spam followers and people are just crazy with the comments they leave for some people. I think to be honest, Social Media sucks! My true friends come to my house and look at the pictures on the wall and also read the writing on the wall. LOL  :highfive:

You can make your Instagram private, no spam followers, just whoever you want to see it will.
I use Instagram & find it a great time killer while I'm waiting for something as I always have my phone.... waiting in line, waiting for an appointment, etc...    Scroll real fast through pictures, then done. :)

I think so.  :)  j/k Even my mom have a facebook account.  Her friend created for her.  Not everybody have a facebook account so don't worry you not be the only one.

I have FB account, I hardly ever use it. Three of my four children have either deleted their accounts or use them very little.

I think that most people are on Facebook.  Some people don't like it, but it keeps you in touch with family and friends since they don't live close by.   A great way to exchange photos etc.
