Support NeoGAF

[DiscoJer]

I only opened a Facebook account to follow companies that develop Minis (since I volunteer at a site that covers those).

My only "friend" is a Ukrainian lady that works PR at one of those companies that I've traded like 3 emails with.

Every once in a while she tags (or something) me, but it's in Russian, so I have no idea what she's saying.

But eh, to the OP, I pretty much wasted my youth (in a good way, and frankly, looking back, it's a miracle I'm still alive) so I don't have too many regrets about what other people do.

(My 30s have really sucked, though. That's the flip side of mortgaging your future..)

 

[etiolate]

I have a totally different response. I see people on my FB fulfilling their lives with going to bars, overdrinking and ending up complaining about it the next night. Then there's some unwanted hook-up and then they're complaining about work all week, just to return to passing out at a nearby bar the next weekend as part of their weekend therapy.

You got to recognize that people are advertising themselves because they aren't confident in their own skin. I do fuckload more than what I mention doing on my facebook. I don't mention doing it because I don't need the validation and I don't find myself so important that everyone must know what I am doing at each moment of my day.

I have also noticed that the older friends I have on FB also don't mention everything they do.

Not to be too grumpy, but you're probably teen to early 20s and your friends are desperately looking for something fulfilling outside of themselves and finding only the tired old prescribed answers that have never been anyhing but some company's road to riches.

Thread title made me burst out laughing. Not sure what the problem is here though. Some people like displaying everything online for the world to see. Not particularly my thing but its nice to show everybody you have fun every now and then. Just remeber its db.

 

[daffy]

Just remeber its db.

Double balloons?

I liked your last FB thread better.

OP is obsessed.

 

[Doncamatic]

OP is in desperate need of some facebook themed courage wolves.

 

[bangai-o]

i am always be-wildered at my co-workers having all these trips and vacations. I know where you work, how the fuck you got moneys to be doing shit?

 

[(._.)]

Ketchup boy, lmao. Just take it easy. What are you tryin to prove on fb?

 

[Plywood]

It certainly seems relevant to accentuate my lack of capitalization and punctuation! I sincerely apologize to anyone offended by my ring finger's apathy towards shit that no one cares about. By all means, feel free to troll your Facebook© feed with the same rigorousness that you all apply to my posts; enjoy yourselves!

i'm not mad, i'm drunk.

if anyone's mad, it is he. BUT YEAH LET'S FUCK THIS DEAD HORSE

EDIT: i'm not gonna have a cup of coffee i'm just sick of everyone thinking this forum is like APA certified or some shit. who cares, jesus.

 

[way more]

I have 5 friends on Facebook. Take that real world!

 

[Lucius86]

Sometimes.

The only logical solution is... go have some fucking fun.

This. You make your own fun - it never comes to you.

 

[HappyBivouac]

I am glad that I mostly associate with people who are as bitter and honest about life and the world as I am.

Bitter's not really the word, but I don't feel like coming up with a better one.

 

[Eggo]

I'm the one having fun on Facebook and living the dream, so no, I don't feel sorry for you if your life is boring and you accept that. What I do feel bad about though is the Cityville spam I post to my wall, for the Facebook friends I have who are not technically savvy enough to remove those blasts from my news feed. Those poor unfortunate souls...

Spoiler

Can someone send me a donut?

 

[Freshmaker]

Ketchup boy, lmao. Just take it easy. What are you tryin to prove on fb?

He just wants to catch up with his friends.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Haven't logged onto my facebook in well over a year and i never really used it anyway.

I don't really get jealous about other people having fun because i am always enjoying myself. I enjoy myself doing pretty much anything.

Stop worrying about what other people are doing and just live your own life.

Only time facebook ever made me sad is after a breakup (that wasn't my intention) you do not want to see what your ex is up to, ever.

so true

 

[Raiden]

Never.

Cause i am on of those guys, lolololol.

 

[Acid08]

I never feel like crap. Ever.

 

[Des0lar]

type like what

twitter is a better medium for sharing things.. i'll argue that until someone makes a better argument.

what does your fucking worthless post even mean?

OH MAN I HAVE A TWITTER BUT I DON'T USE IT

we are not worthy..

Nobody I know uses twitter. Maybe it's a European thing.

 

[Raiden]

Also, i never ever post things on Facebook of what im doing and where im going, because once you do people think the things you post on facebook are the only things you're doing.

I barely update my Facebook, and people think i have a life! Seems to work well.

Facebook is just a new messenger for me, and to keep in touch with friends, and it is awesome to see what events are coming up and who is going. But not for doing this or that crap.

 

[soco]

i don't use facebook. i just go out and have fun with people.

 

[Johnlenham]

I wouldn't say it's balls to the walls fun. But I'd rather be perusing GAF at 12:15am than at a college party.

..well I dont think I can really say anything to that.

 

[YoungHav]

LOL OP I know what you're talking about, that's part of the reason I stopped looking through people's pics. But you have to realize people are just as miserable as you are (or even worse); what they put on FB is the image they want to project. Some of the folks on my page who's lives look like they are having A-list celebrity 24/7 party blasts, well for example my friend's dad abandoned his family when he was a kid and he has major issues; some of my friends have attempted suicide; another friend broke down to me severely depressed because her BF was treating her like shit, she just had an abortion and he did not give a single fuck; realized another guy was a sorry SOB once I started working with him etc... They're only images on FB and you should be happy that your friends had an enjoyable moment to put up. Just go seek your own real life fun moments (what's most important) and post pics if you feel compelled to b/c FB isn't that serious.

I wouldn't say it's balls to the walls fun. But I'd rather be perusing GAF at 12:15am than at a college party.

but the women man!!!! You dunno how good you've got it right now. Hahahaha I became such a degenerate after I graduated.

 

[Kentpaul]

I went out clubbing last night , and i made it clear on facebook i was doing so.

Prob ruined the night for a few facebook lurkers who were watching friday night tv when i was under the strobe light giving it yaldy yal.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

My facebook profile is completely private and everything is set to 'friends only'.

I have around 120 people on there but I would only really consider like 15-20 of those people to be actual friends and around 5-10 of those close friends who I see on a regular basis.

I only really use it just to stay in the loop about things but rarely post on it.

All my colleagues at work and people in my college group are always going on about me not adding them on facebook and I just tell them I don't have the time to be active on it (lie) and there's no real point because I don't use it.

In reality I just don't want to be absorbed in to it and be one of those people who checks there facebook several times a day. People at work just spend their entire lunch break on it and at college everyone in my group just sit there on it all day, throughout class, looking at their profiles and at random pics of people.

Most of the time its just them perving at random girls who they hardly know and trying to find pics where the cleavage is visible :lol

Kinda creepy but also funny.

If the website is making you feel bad............


Don't go on the website.

Spoiler

OR you could just be more social and go out more

.

 

[Discotheque]

I hate going to parties with acquaintances. If I don't have any close friends there then I'm not gonna really have a good time. No matter how many womens and booze there is. I just put on a happy face but I am dead inside during those moments...

lol that sounded like some Robert Smith cure bullshit but it's true.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I don't write about my life on facebook, I don't know it just feels so artificial. So instead I just post youtube videos and shit.

Yep, why should I care if or how many people "care" about me?

I mean it's still only a webpage.

 

[tearsofash]

and seeing how much "fun" everyone else is having and drinking and going to cool places for Spring Break? I'm starting to feel like the place is only good for single people. I mean I don't like seeing people have more fun than me lol.

Spring break makes me jealous. I party a lot more than most of my FB friends on a weekly basis. Kind of had an eye opener when my older step brother messages me asking me if my hot friends are single and when the soonest he can come visit and party with me.

Awkward at the same time, since the hot chick is the person I'm cheating on my wife with.

Facebook is great.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I've long since stopped assuming that people with regular exciting updates are actually having fun. Most of the people that have those updates rarely do shit with their time (except go on Facebook of course) and all of their picture taking is created for tagging purposes (let's get some friends over and make zany poses for the camera!). Most people who talk about going on crazy trips don't really do much or put it all on plastic. I guess if you want to rack up thousands of dollars of debt for a few pictures on Facebook, then by all means go for it.

My sister is one of those people that likes to take pictures of herself at parties like she is having a blast but she is a pretty miserable person overall. She has over 1,000 friends but spends 90% of her free time doing nothing except cruising Facebook, adding people she doesn't know or doesn't like but she wants the high friend count numbers.

Theoretically, most people who are living exciting lives won't spend hours a day to have it all categorized, commented about, and tagged on their Facebook. The sheer amounts of time you have to invest to have those giant friend counts and thousands of pictures doing zany things should disprove the notion that these people live exceptional lives.

If you feel like you're an asocial loser, go out and do something. Whining about how unfair life is because of people's fucking Facebook accounts shows that you need to have some kind of hobby or activity.

 

[Max Armstrong]

I moved out to a different city when I was like 13, I had a lot of friends there, but for some reason couldn't make as much in the new one. I'm friends with most of them on facebook and seeing how they still hang out together having big ass parties, etc. makes me really depressed sometimes. It always makes me think of how awesome my teen years could have been.

If this thread gets more views in the near future. Then Gaf-meltdown M-M-M-Maximum incoming.

 

[tearsofash]

Not sure why there'd be a meltdown. Perhaps I used a poor choice of words (it was 6am and...other influences). I have permission, so I suppose it's not really cheating. I don't know what else to call this extra-marital thing.

 

[Kyoufu]

Double Benetration.

[Slavik81]

One interesting phenomenon is that most people have fewer friends than their friends do. It's a consequence of the fact that you're more likely to be friends with a person who has a lot of friends than a person who has few friends.

This might make your life seem more depressing than it is.

[.GqueB.]

The biggest mistake people make is assuming that everyone else is better off than them.

Trust me my friend, those people feel exactly the same as you QUITE often.

 

[Snuggles]

is there penetration involved?

y/n

 

[apocalidiot]

My buddies and I had a good week back on our Spring Breaks.. it was good to see each other.. so not really. It's the cheaper alternative. Next year maybe

 

[besada]

Watching other people do fun things on Facebook doesn't depress me. If I wanted to be doing those things, I could.

 

[tearsofash]

is there penetration involved?

y/n

Nope.

 

[Snuggles]

Nope.

then I don't see what the problem is

 

[blame space]

Nope.
