I was on Facebook for a long while. About 10 years. It started my freshman year of college, and I joined right away.

Anyway, I've been off FB for about a year now.

As Gemme said, I found it to be a time suck. Please as more and more people joined and my "friend" list grew, I realized how much I tend to dislike people. And mostly the people I couldn't "de-friend" without blacklash (i.e. family).

Plus I found it all to be fake.

This year was the first year I was not on FB for my birthday. It was amazing how many of my "friends" didn't bother to wish me happy birthday. Family too. So how real were the connections to begin with that they considered themselves my "friends"?

I don't feel like there is a real connection with people on FB.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm a little jaded about it.

Enter if you dare. But I can honestly say, I don't miss it.
