Why I find facebook freaky.

So let me make 1 thing clear, I am addicted to facebook and at the time of writing this post I am signing up for some 12 step program to eventually delete my account. But let me explain why I have a hard time pulling myself away.

I use facebook, for the train wreck that it represents. First, I like the whole re-connecting with friends angle that it has and for whatever reason it seems like everyone (including their mothers) are on facebook. However that is not the reason why I am sucked into it. Also, I enjoy watching people’s walls who is meeting up with who and who is having sex with what (yes, you heard me… WHAT).

I love watching people who just don’t understand that other people can easily see what they do. For example, some old co-workers who post their freaky weekend photo get-aways (which is most times fun to see) or update their status messages about how their STD is really starting to spread. Usually my first reaction would be to cringe and then browse away, but for whatever reason I look and am just freaked out and yet I continue browsing.

You know that people love to watch the train wrecks. Especially when it’s the magnitude of what Facebook represents. So, I don’t blame you for that.

As for your addiction though, I think an intervention is in order ;)

I've never been good at writing about me/site pages. It seems too much like self-promotion and being the stereotypical passive-agressive asian; I would rather walk around a crowd and into a train rather than interact with a bunch of people. I'm shy that way, which also contradicts this website that talks about me and my life. My friends and family would care to disagree though, since they've seen my crazy & loud side. More »
