2029 - Face bound

Face bound. I think that's what I would be if I had too many friends on facebook. I do have a facebook acount but use it mainly to see what my kids and family are doing. I think I have 19 friends. My kids on the other hand have 500 to 1000 friends. I could never keep track of that many people.

That leads me into an article on facebook. From the article...

A number of previous studies have linked narcissism with Facebook use, but this is some of the first evidence of a direct relationship between Facebook friends and the most "toxic" elements of narcissistic personality disorder.


It's not a long article. Just long enough to be introspective.


And just in case you haven't been keeping track, 3/4ths of 2012 is gone. But it's still 39 looooong days until the election is over.

And then I found this...

Facebook is a fact of life. It good that researchers are looking into possible harmful effects of excessive use.

A nice note on homosexuality and Indians.

Morbid or excessive use of Facebook may also be linked to hysterical personality disorder or some patterns of agressiveness. Internet trolls come to mind.

I know of a few fights (not physical) that came out of Facebook remarks.

I am the only person I know without a FB page. I'm holding out - there must be some prize for that no? :-)

Mike said...

Elvis - Yes it is good.

Angel - I'm sure there are more than a few patterns of agressiveness.

Peg - Claudia doesn't have one either.

I don't have a Facebook page -- not having one is a good start in flying under the radar.

Some people use Facebook as a place to be bitchy on.

Lizbeth said...

This is going to be a long 39 days. And they haven't really begun to ramp up here. Sigh.

Mike said...

Duck - Peggy will be glad to hear that.

Heidi - I started out with blogger as a place to bitch. I soon found out nobody cared.

Lizbeth - The ads have been getting more frequent here in the last couple of weeks.

I hate facebook. Pretty much all I do on there is lose games of Words With Friends and click "like" on my friends photos. Oh and wish people happy birthday.

Jay - I avoid facebook games like the plague. Seems like you can't sign up for one without giving the game all your personal information.

Dianne said...

I don't go to FB ever
I really need to just delete the account I opened as I did with Twitter
can't stand either of them

I didn't know about Two Spirit people, that's fascinating and wonderful
thanks for finding that

Dianne - I remember seeing the two spirits theme in movies over the years. I can't think of any specific movie as the theme was always just a small side bar in a few movies.
