Posted February 12, 2016 I don't understand how any one can get addicted to facebook. It's so boring. I check it once a day for 2 mins and it's more than enough. Perhaps you need to find something more interesting in your life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2016 About a year ago I had been using FB for maybe 5 years and browsing it became unconsciously a daily habit for me. I didn't even notice how much time I was spending scrolling the news feed and sending pointless messages back and forth with my buddies, because at that time I was young and knew nothing of self-improvement. I guess Facebook made me happy in a way and I was reliant on it, because when I was on Facebook, I felt I was socialising. And it really was the primary way for me of reaching somebody, because everyone had Facebook. I slowly began noticing how I was spending whole evenings scrolling the news feed for the nonexistent pot of gold in the bottom. I saw how addictive the news feed can be. At one point I also got the feeling that having all conversations on Facebook is not the right way of communicating with people. In fact it's nothing like talking to a person face-to-face, interacting with them physically and seeing the real emotions. Of course instant messaging is indispensable for reaching someone quickly, but only when necessary. It was then when I decided that if I want to get rid of the addiction, I would need to get rid of Facebook. So I made a deal with a friend and together we decided to delete our Facebooks. I can tell you that it felt pretty scary, deleting Facebook, but I did it, and afterwards, it almost felt like I had lost a little part of myself (not a healthy sign, right). The transition wasn't really difficult, I had more time to concentrate on studies and really started to develop my social skills in the real world. My friend, however, got back on Facebook a few month later saying that he needed it for his schoolwork, which made me a bit disappointed in him, because he had promised to delete his Facebook with me. - I conclude that Facebook has some good sides to it, but really it's a big time sink for many, many people. It takes a lot of time away, which could be used to cultivate much better habits. If you can't control yourself to use Facebook in moderation, like me, it's better to delete it from your life.

Posted April 12, 2016 Here is an article where one can find some good information for oneself on the topic of Facebook usage. People use it daily. There is hardly someone who does not have an account on Facebook. or Instagram. Or else. It is impossible to live without social networks. They replace reality for many people, which is a minus.
