At first, I thought it was a great way to stay in touch with my friends back home while I was away in Europe and a great way to stay in touch with my friends that I had met whilst in Europe. Then it became about finding long lost friends from primary school and/or high school or previous job. Then it became about uploading hundreds and thousands of photos and tagging EVERYONE in the photos, even though they hate the photo and BEG you to untag them! Then sadly it became about playing those damn application games... stupid things like making your own zoo, or amusement park, and Mafia wars and farmville!!! Thank god I managed to get over those, time in my life I will never get back!!
NOW I have become addicted to seeing what people are up to constantly. I love those people who update their statuses multiple times a day! I tried one day while at work a year or so ago , to update my status every hour, but got bored about half way through the day.... It's like sitting in a cafe and people watching, except it's from the comfort of my own home. I love the fact that I can find out what my friends are doing all over the world, to see my friends who have gotten married or had children, to see my friends travel photos and to be able to catch up with my family that I don't get to see enough, but honestly what am I so addicted to checking my News Feed to find out what someone has checked into the movies or that someone has had a bad day at work and wants to share that with the Facebook World.
I have to look at Facebook everyday. When did this happen? It has become so much worse since I acquired my iphone back a couple of years ago. It's become to easy to be able to check it all the time. If I'm waiting for someone or something, I check it. Before I go to sleep, I check it. When I wake up, I check it. When did this happen to me?? If I don't check it, I feel like I am missing out on something.
Does anyone else "suffer" from this addiction????
