Anonymous Coward User ID: 76372112 United States 11/27/2018 03:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A co-worker asked me for my facebook adress. I said I don't have one. Thought I was joking. I told him I don't need that shit. Instagam? Nope. What's app? Not even. Later he started japping about it all around the work place, and now people think I'm a serial killer or some shit. Wtf? Quoting: tray ding Have one with your face and name on it and leave it empty. Then give them one of two answers on why its blank that you arent good with tech stuff or you dont have much going on with your life. Or pick a few music, movie interests and some inspirational quotes and leave it at that. It always works and it gets them off your back Most people I know in life have a blank Facebook, they made it out of pressure but just arent into it for many reasons many of which we all know of here. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76372112 United States 11/27/2018 03:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I honestly think I might have lost a lot due to not having FB. In terms of work oppportunitites, they probably look for your FB profile, and if you're not there, they don't even bother with your application. This is what I suspect. Quoting: tray ding I dont believe it. young people prefer instagram nowadays. And even that is falling out of favor cause celebrities took it over. Too much pressure to make each post photographer quality. It usually goes like this, you have one or the other, is perfectly acceptable. |

I don't know, but I am living in a low stress enviroment. So there are very few triggers if I am. Last Edited by NervousAndJerky on 11/27/2018 04:45 PM |

I tell them my real friends are smart enough not to post every single nugget of their personal lives on the Internet. It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63155543 United States 11/27/2018 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well if this is the case, then I'm unabashedly proud to be freakin' bat shit crazy. From the get-go, I NEVER even was tempted with ANY of the social media over the years. And I refer everyone who does so, "just to fit in"...remember AOL? Remember how intrusive it was and crept/ate it's way into your computer and everything on it? I relate these sites/media to be exactly the same...pokin' into everything else, while you think it's not. For the longest time, I had a very cheap flip phone and, like other posters here, that's all I needed. After awhile, it became cumbersome and they started jacking up the pricing for time etc. and was told that they weren't "supporting" non-smartphones as much anymore...yada yada, corporate mouthing. So I just recently shelled out for a Galaxy S9 Plus. Scared the crap outta me at first how it would "automatically set up". I knew this was coming and walked into it with the plan...override/kill/delete/switch off many functions and added huge "tool" functionality. Now it's an amazing machine and I love it...literally a work engine for planning and organizing life...without all the game/social media/bloat. People are amazed when I show it and it's "clean". Weirds them out. Use the machine, don't let it use you. |

I've never seen anyone look at a FB page but I suppose they could to see what kind of person you are. Quoting: A Chosen Don't have that either. Shocker right? Yes I guess they could see what kind of person you are, at least the one you want to portay to the outer world. I have heard a number of stories though about people getting fired after calling in sick to work, and then their employer saw a FB post with them out partying the night before. Amateurs lol! |

Srsly though how is it this easy to be looked upon as "normal" in todays society, and this easy to be considered "not normal". Such weird, shallow and fragile standards.
