Facebook...Whats the Point about it anyway? [Originally written in 6/29/16]

You know its been some time since I last visited Facebook. I feel so refreshed and relaxed That I have since like I don't know when I was this okay. Whenever I was on that hellhole (to be precise) it was disturbing, negative and frankly waste of  some really good time .

Every time I spend there, It was awful, annoying and to top this all regurgitating(vomiting) at the extreme.

Allow me to explain the issue here:

First of all like all of the newbies back then, I came to Facebook to get some you know to get some friends and meet my class-fellows online, find a date etc.And wow I really had some bizarre HIGH expectations then like getting all likes comments and fool around.
And then was I really bummed to realize that its just like the world pathetic and self-caring. You wanted to socialize but the people are just well complex machinery and you try to get the desired but achieved the thing you did not want and it just doesn't sit well. Because You Expect HUGE Things and its totally Impossible.

I remember how anxious I used to be when I was so happy to get 8 or 11 likes and  I was waiting to see the 1st comment on my post and on my picture. It was painful when many posts went by not a single comment was there and I looked at my friend's was I unhappy then. 

So I asked Spooky and Poster* about this and they said don't worry about them the site is useless. The two guys were right as slowly I understood the things here so time went by Facebook transformed into area of war as news-feed wall was no longer about some pal's pic you like or some celebrity or politician's post.

It was arguably a unique bullshit that had way to be fresh one way or other. 

At the same time I witnessed conflicts, tension, affairs and tonnes of many problems present on the site, furthermore I saw content that would spark controversies. It was now the area where you find the content neglected or buried from mainstream media, content that were stolen are shared simultaneously and there were pages that were either place for extremism or was there to create conflicts and what not.

Aside from that...Facebook had some pro's like there are great quotes, a source for VARIOUS memes etc. Sometimes you can find the ones to chat, briefly for 2-3 minutes. 

Connect with family and friends.

But here is how would summarize my opinion on this like:

"When I look at this area its just like an awful ghastly dark desert with few patches of water or light and you are there for no good reason when someone needs help then you will receive shiny thing or nothing else.If I put something good then people just stare and go. I wont get any words often hence it leaves me in depression and other negative emotions."

And if that's not enough then....
Here is one opinion  that may be reasonable or this one that has some solid points.

Overall majority of videos that i found have been relevant on following.
1. WASTE OF TIME THAT COULD HAVE A BETTER UTILIZATION.
2. DEPRESSION AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HIT YOUR MIND.
3. SOCIAL SKILLS AFFECTED BY THIS IN DOWNWARD SPIRAL.


And Its no surprise I am a victim as well like they were. Facebook was intended to be solution for family and friends to connect with each other. But now its an ABNORMAL environment there. A huge source of negativity and nothing more than that. Almost every video regarding this phenomenon has pointed out why its bad and frankly its true. I felt uneasy so often that killed me inside with all the drama running wild here. 

Now I cant deactivate the Facebook because this is only source where I get some views for the blog and ask (or help) a friend in case of work or any other issue. So if wanted to upload a video Facebook is my source to get views some decent comments but Youtube is also an option for me (That is another site I will discuss in future). 

I know I might have to go back to gain some views and thoughts.

In short the point of Facebook is not what it was suppose to be years ago during its creation because of the abnormal environment here, I mean the people you know are different there, you want to share the picture and its not BEST Quality and suppose you make it a profile pic then you will get a message in the inbox which is the request to delete followed by a THUMBS UP. If you don't wow here is the emotional blackmail that you will receive shortly after....the point is I feel Facebook was designed to torture you from your mind in a psychological manner.

You know I feel really stupid and awful that is spent too long on that site and what was my fruition by now.....NOTHING.

You know Personally I prefer surfing on Youtube. Because I feel EASY there laughing on some parody watching my subject of interest. 

Its Great here.

Facebook is just not that great you know.Its a hellhole like I said before here. The negativity here has affected my life in way that now I feel happy to be away from the area as MISERY was the only thing I got.Because I had expectations that were impossible but chased them like a fool...

I am glad to be away from there.


UPDATE: I wrote this blogpost when I was moving from college (High School) to University, while I was feeling embarassed for not conveying enough I privated this blogpost but now I have decided to post it back publicly here as I feel it is reminder of that time.
