(3,102 posts)21. I feel the same way you do. I don't use Facebook.
Email and phone are it for me. So far my friends who are on FB still contact me that way when something significant happens.
Even if it didn't have so many privacy issues, I wouldn't use FB just because it is so much work. And I can't stand the way it is designed - my brain just doesn't work that way. I learned/taught myself how to design and create websites myself back in the the 90's and was considered a "power user" at work before I retired so it certainly isn't a case of being a technophobe - I just don't like Facebook and won't be guilted or shamed into using it.

And I'm eight. Since my family are all right wing nutty repubs I just had to get off of Facebook.

Isn't this like someone in 1970 complaining about all his friends using telephones.

I didn't say my friends on Facebook are being narcissists, and don't pretend that I did.

I always thought of FB and Twitter as something for people without lives to follow those with lives

I have a dummy account but being a techno-moron, I never thought I had to take any precautions.
