Well! I don’t know why am I writing this. So! I come back here after a day I wrote the title “Facebook Fever “and I still have no idea why am I still writing this. It’s exactly like when You and I use “Facebook”. Yes “Facebook”.
I have no idea why we use “Facebook”, and I assume most of you people also have no idea why you come back every single day and log in. hmm wait actually we are never offline always Online.
But we still use it every day and also right now as I am writing this blog I constantly keep on checking my “Facebook” feed. Now some people might say they use Facebook” every single day is to connect with their friends and family but I think that is straight Bullshit! Let me tell you why.
Most of my family members did try to connect with me in “Facebook” by sending me a friend request and I pretty much ignored most of them, ok let’s say all of them. Because they would talk with me about the same thing even in “Facebook” or out of the “Facebook”. Things like “Are you going to study more?”, “when are you getting married, are you even thinking about going Foreign countries or not “and I hate this questions. But I did accept all of their friend requests and created a new account to never come back to the old account just for the sake of not making them think I am an asshole !! and I am sure most of us feel the same. We love our family and relatives but we sure need some space. So if I hear from you that you use “Facebook” every single day just to connect with friends and family than just stop reading this!!!
Now! I think the real reason you and i use “Facebook” is to “Feed our Ego”. So! what does Feeding your ego mean? Well I am pretty sure you know what it means, because you do it every day.
No clue?
Ok let me ask you a question, when you are using “Facebook” scrolling through the news feed do u really care about everyone’s post you see?
I highly doubt that and if you are saying yes than you are probably lying to yourself. We only care about our photos and status, how much likes or reactions we received. Don’t you? How can u still lie to yourself?
You go to a restaurant like “Trisara, Buzy Bee, Iblues” and blah blah and take photos and you wait for the day they upload the photos then you reupload the same photo in your wall and expect likes and comments.
Even after all that you tell me you don’t care about getting likes then you are still lying to yourself
But any way that are just common problems. The real problem “Facebook” is causing are “Birthdays”.
How tragic it is that in today’s life people know about their Family and Friend’s or even their Mother's
birthday by “Facebook” notification!! Now how sad is that. Now it’s a must to upload the birthday boy/girl photo and wish them birthday by copying something from google rather calling them or meeting them in person. Why meet them when a simple Facebook post will do? A big LOL.
again you check the birthday boy/girl's wall and see they are getting lots of birthday wishes and now you worry if you are going to get the same amount of wishes or not. You are going to be upset in your birthday even if u were wished by your family and friends personally but did not get enough FB wishes. Tell me is that is not the Fact?
Here are some causes you may suffer from Anxiety because of Facebook.
- Crush didn't reply to your 1000 "Hello" you sent!
- Friends got more likes Or You did not get enough likes for hard worked
automatic filters you applied (A big LOL) - Nobody Chats with you.
- Friends don't talk much (even though you meet them every day)
- Now i can go on and on about the problems but that will be just be
waste of everyone’s time.
You may not agree on any of the things I said above, well some may! But it really doesn’t matter because this simple blog took me 5 days to write because I was too distracted by Facebook. I did quit for a month because I was highly addicted, I was online 24/7. Well again I am back in Facebook and its worse than ever. I have a bad Facebook Fever.
What about you?
Now this blog may feel incomplete and all but I am ending this now but I will put my ego in another article for sure.
Thank you for reading.
