When I first joined Facebook, I really liked it. I thought it was a great way to network with others. Facebook has evolved greatly, since its beginnings.
Since people have trouble communication through email, phone, etc., I found they were more likely to do so through Facebook. This is not the case anymore.
In my experience, some people are using Facebook for other reasons other than to make it easy to be contacted. They use it to put themselves on display and show the world how they are so important and to observe other people without actively making an effort to communicate.
It bothers me that people do not make their presence known. You know they are checking you out on Facebook, but they are not making any effort to communicate. In conversation (which scarcely occur), they will say, "Oh yeah! I saw that on Facebook." Thus giving themselves away.
I have sent messages to inboxes and even in chat. It is always the same people that do not respond. It is a bit annoying.
Don't get me wrong, I love to hear about my friend's successes and happy times. I love the pictures and videos. It's just how it is "packaged." There are people that do put it out there, but they are also active in the "conversation." It's not just me, me, me! They are actually contributing.
It's just the people that I tend to expect more from that have really disappointed me. When you think a lot of someone, and then they act a certain way, I leaves you wondering. When it is someone you felt you had a close bond with, it can become hurtful.
I have had a very jaded view of things for quite sometime now. I have though about a Facebook-free life for awhile. I need to just step back and realize that not all people are self-centered and egotistical.
