Has Facebook been messing up your life? Are you so addicted that you can’t live a day without poking someone or commenting on anyone’s status. Do you stalk stranger’s profiles to find out stuff about them? Do have fights or arguments with your BF/GF or loved ones because of something you did (or didn’t do) on Facebook?
The social networking site has become such a huge part of many people’s lives. Some of us can spend the entire day on Facebook browsing profiles and sending weird gifts/drinks/pillows or all sorts of things to people on our friend’s list instead of actually getting out of the house and spending time with real people.
Whatever you do and however much time you spend on Facebook, just make sure you adjust your privacy settings so that all your information is not visible to “Everyone”. It’s best to set it to “Friends Only” so that your friend’s friend who happens to be a stalker won’t be able to see all the beautiful photos of yourself you posted on your profile.
And for Gods sakes… don’t put your phone number, home address, office address etc. on your Facebook profile. Unless, of course, you WANT to be stalked.
Here are some of the effects of being on Facebook
1. Your parents, uncles, aunties, grandma, grandpa, postman and postman’s sister send you friend requests and you feel forced to accept it because they might get offended it you don’t.
2. Strange people who you hardly know are throwing pillows at you and sending you drinks
3. Someone tags you and 20 other people in a photo and you receive 52 notifications about who “commented” or “liked” it
4. You “like” your friend’s status and you continue to receive notifications for the next two days just because of that single click of a mouse
5. Join a Group on Facebook and the next day your homepage or inbox is flooded with updates from the group
6. Your uncle gets offended because you didn’t comment on his photo album/note/status or reply to his message on Facebook chat
...you get the idea...
watch this!
