    I don't agree to be honest, Facebook isn't good for anything except advertising if you have a business. Anyone that tries justifying "use in moderation" is just too addicted to realize that it's completely bad for you. It's like porn when we think "one video won't hurt" then we're relapsing for days cause of watching 1 video. I've been off Facebook for 2 months and my well-being as 100% improved because of it.

    That's all good that you've controlled usage but could you explain what can be "useful" about it??

    Your point of view also holds a point but don't you think it enables you to connect with some people of your interest or catch up an old schoolmate of yours he or she may be not that important as a friend of ours at present but still, awareness can be spread also through this type of site. But good to know that switching off from it enabled your well-being improvement ratio hike by 100%. Anything that is good for you or anybody is justified.

  4. Most useful thing is groups. For example I'm in a couple of groups for my city. If I need help getting somewhere or asking where I can buy this or that or which roads will be closed in the upcoming festival, etc.. I'm also in a group that discusses Jewish religious law. If I have a question I can ask it there and get tons of answers.

    Also sometimes it's useful to be able to post something all your friends can see. For example if I got a new phone number and all my contacts from my old phone got deleted I would post my new number on fb.

    The key is only using it for those rare times it's useful and immediately leaving when you're done.

    I definitely understand about keeping in touch with people but that's what messenger is for. Facebook lets you de-activate your account and keep messenger for contacting people, that's all that you need really, you don't need to see what they post on Facebook every day.

    The group thing may be a legit reason as long as you ONLY use it for groups, for posting things friends can see if it's really important and not to complain about your day or to brag about your day for "likes" then personally I would just use messenger to send them the phone number or important message, shouldn't put your number on Facebook anyway really.

    yeah if you go to de-activate your account, where it says opt out of receiving emails, there is one below that which allows you to keep messenger :)

    Dude of course not.

    But deleting it yourself would if you do not use it properly and wisely.

    Not to fear!

    Therapy is here:



    VERSE 1

    The generation built on fear, when transparency in their skin will break of a tear i swear
    Our sensitivity engraved and biological chemistry enrages them history pages
    You think its fucking outrages
    But you let em embrace it
    The word spoken like a knife to the throat
    Stick and them stones?
    Fuck that words now break bones
    A text message becomes a threat and they froze, yo
    Its all alarming, increase in self harming
    Psychologists diagnosing everyone with a problem
    “give me the remedy in a bottle” instead of advice
    Its sad to see these children crying over Instagram likes, right?
    Fucking pathetic, generation Y
    Children now parents, men with integrity is just a lie
    The catalyst may be a lot of things
    Need to accept, that shit just ain't the same
    When i was a kid, yeah

    CHORUS

    So look into the window of my soul and lie
    You will find you let them glass emotions break
    Stare into my eyes
    The world never lies, fragile
    You let them glass emotions break

    So look into the window of my soul and lie
    You will find you let them glass emotions break
    The world never lies
    The stitches never bind, exiled
    Yo when them glass emotions break


    BRIDGE

    Nobody's feeling sorry for you, Nobody's feeling sorry for you
    So what the fuck ima do?
    Nobody's feeling sorry for yo, Nobody's feeling sorry for you
    So what the fuck ima do?

    Yo, you ain't felt shit ,sincere pain you to quick to fucking quit
    Within a milli second of struggle you a bitch
    Duct taping tear ducts follow with the lips
    So let me give you a real fucking reason to complain
    You’re looking way to worried about the size of your ring
    Can’t exchange words but the money ain't a thing
    Insane to membrane brother its a shame


    VERSE 2

    So tell me if I’m wrong and prove it
    I’ve been seeing progression in society and its stupid lets look at this
    Big booty pics and lip injections make you beautiful what the fuck are we doing to these kids?
    Yo, lets lift the motherfucking lid up
    Brothers are idolising aesthetic males with tattoos and a beard
    Fucking forget about the muscle we use inside of our head huh?
    Everybody still thinking they’re tier one
    And relative to the world you ain't even bread crumbs
    These privileged kids live but thinking they’re owed something, uhh
    Now everyone is a victim, on every platform we witness
    The countless amount of cards pulled when you’re offended
    Social integration and knowledge is endless
    Where getting smatter by the minute but dumber by the second, check it
    Reckless exposure, content is like closure, children mould into vultures
    Please tell me its over

    Right in a way?

    Can I ask what powers you have to differentiate this hypothesis of judgment?

  11. Shall we continue the detoxification so we can keep an account and use it skillfully?

    Well I need it at least. Thanks for giving the community this thread covert!



    Nitrozac & Snaggy comics should also aid us with being able to stay on social media without being impacted negatively.

    If information regarding university and group mates was posted on another platform, I would 100% quit facebook. Now I have to keep messenger incase some important info is posted. I spend a lot more time on fb/messenger than I should atm. Working on it!
