Facebook is not a diary• Just went from ‘divorced’ to ‘single.’ Guess I wasn’t the best
husband. Hope to learn from my mistakes.”
• “Not sure why we stopping being close. Missing you and crying.”
• Cheaters never win. That’s why I just smashed his flat screen.
• ‘In a relationship.’ ‘Single.’ ‘In an open relationship.’

Reasons You Should Stop Using Facebook
• Nobody actually wants to just read about what you're doing anymore.
• Facebook makes it impossible for you to stay "private• Your parents (and even grandparents) are now watching your
every move.• Or they're posting photos of you that you would never want
anyone to see• Facebook is even keeping track of what you don't say.• Facebook makes you feel less positive about your life.• It makes getting over a breakup really hard.• You realize you only know and care about only 20 people out of
your 1,000 friends.

Conclusion• Some feel it makes them lonely since the
connections with others is too superficial. Others feel it makes them less lonely since they have so many friends to interact with. Marche says that research shows that “The greater the proportion of face-to-face interactions, the less lonely you are, but the greater the proportion of online interactions, the lonelier you are.”
