I left Facebook and everyone - good and bad - no longer talk to me.
If I make the effort to call out and say “Hi” that’s about all there is to it.
And the only people who pick up when I call ? My vet friends.
I’ve paid for people’s funerals, weddings, bills. Helped out when they needed it in every way. On facebook, they mostly told me directly how my comments (Political and not) brightened their day and they couldn’t imagine life without me.
These were people who I saw almost daily too. And they were my political allies. Not even politically motivated.
Put simply, I’ve learned that if you’re not on social media, you are a modern hermit.
But I think I’m going to call my vet friends now though. Thanks for reminding me !
I, too, neither on FB nor twitter. A hermit here, perhaps, but enjoying the peace and solitude. There is no need for such daily combat in life. To continue to interact in a one sided conversation (THEY do all the talking; YOU remain silent, nonspeaking) is unrewarding after you’ve learned all there is to be taught. FB/twitter is seldom visited and its pages never written upon.
These are not friends, only ‘pen pals’. We’ve seen the ads on tee vee, when donations are asked for poor, hungry children.
I'll shuffle off to my cave, then...
Living the hermit life here in East Tennessee, and lovin’ it.
What I have never understood are people who use Facebook and spend a significant amount of time on their computers each day reading and posting messages on the Facebook pages of others, but who say they have no time to email their family and friends who don’t use Facebook (much less calling those people on the phone). Hello? If you are sitting at your computer posting messages on Facebook pages, you have got time to email a non-Facebook using friend or relative while sitting at that same computer.
