Today, I did something that I've wanted to do for a long time now, and that was to deactivate my facebook account. Almost immediately I felt a sense of relief. and i feel like there's nothing weighing down on me. Where I live facebook was basically everyone from about 3 or 4 towns, and I had about 1500 friends.. You would go on and see nothing but stupid people, and complainers. That's something I really just don't want in my life. I may make another one for just my close friends, but who knows. Anyone else feel the same way? Try it.

AWALLRUS MAKES WE WANNA USE CAPS LOCKS. AND I WILL USE IT. SO WHY YOURE PROUD OF DELETING FB? I REALLY DONT NEED IT FOR DAILY USE, JUST FOR STAYING IN TOUCH WITH GUYS THAT I MET SOMEWHERE AND DONT LIVE NEAR ME.

SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT USE IT.


AND, EPIC FRIEND CLAIM, DROPPING THE 1,5 K BOMB LIKE NOTHING

Like all things in life moderation is key. Nothing is wrong with facebook, its a great way to keep in contact with friends. Especially in college its a great way to network. Now you say you had 1500 friends... no one has that many people they have a consistent relationship with. So maybe instead of trying to flaunt your internet friend cock, you should have added your real friends and only them. Because no one gives a fuck how many friends you have on there. That way you could have not dealt with the whining and complaining because you'd use facebook for what it was meant for. Networking with FRIENDS. Oh and sorry to burst your bubble its impossible to deactivate that shit. Its always there.

yeah its still there just "deactivated" and you can reactivate any time. why didnt you just delete the friends you dont care about? instead of being a friend whore and add anyone you meet, you can have 500 or 600 like a normal person...

I doubt most people are actual friends with 500 people. I know 500ish people but I only have added 120.

I had to deactivate my Facebook account about 3 weeks ago.  It really doesn't change anything.  The time I spent procrastinating on Facebook is now spent procrastinating here and on other websites.

I felt the same way for a while, contemplating deletion. but instead i took an hour to sort through my 1000 friends and delete anyone who I knew i would never talk to/if i didnt know them.
After that im down to about 350 friends and i can say its so much better. now that im out of highschool i dont want a million people seeing my shit.
