man.. i was so hopeful they were fixing the glitches and lag... nope. still slow. haha. thought to text tech to come?? their servers as of today.. i'm sure would explode. >>>that would be a great day..<<< i stepped back a lot from FB. i mainly now use it to see funny meme pictures on this page called 'dank memes' its a splash of dark humourous sunshine... intirely not political correct.. and that's the point =P
The thing about FB that I find most regrettable is I suppose it's Vibe. I know I'm the most off topic person here.
But Facebook is like a completely different world, Once I was talking to my friend on there and another friend of mine came in and just completely trashed the conversation speaking a bunch of racist stuff. Why did he do this you may ask?
Simply because he could, And for me and Joe that was pretty awkward so we just called each other to finish the conversation. But I see a lot of things on FB from people who are depressed and seeking attention, They will post things that make them seem like they are literally having a near-suicidal crisis just to get the flow of attention from the outcry. I know that makes me sound heartless, I'm really not. I've just dealt with a lot of people in my lifetime and I've even "Tried" to help people who claim to be suicidal. One thing I have learned over the years, If someone claims to be suicidal over the internet, they are without a doubt looking for attention, And here's the clincher to that, Who is qualified to advise someone who literally is suicidal? I'm certainly not. I'm not the guy to speak to if someone is suicidal.
My reasoning for this is complicated, I've lost Both my daughters, and it was painful, It affected my life in ways I will never heal from and nothing on earth gets under my skin more than hearing people whine about how their lives suck because they lost a gf or bf, or their uncle told them they were fat. They have no idea the things other people suffer through before they even have breakfast in the morning. It's not that I'm heartless, It's That, I honestly believe, Everyone suffers and experiences sadness, But to bring that sadness and suffering to someone else and lay it upon them, It's just unfair.
It's the one thing I've noticed that People like that all seem to have in common, They seem to selfishly only think about themselves and their own problems, While dumping all of their baggage off on someone else and not caring how it affects others. I view depression as if it were a disease. Look around the world, There is no shortage of Sad people. It's something I don't want to catch, So I avoid downer type people.
Believe it or not. I have a host of other issues. But depression is something, I've learned to overcome. And I truly believe people can overcome it. But it's hard to overcome depression when we take on other peoples problems as well.
Some people could call me heartless, Others might think I'm just cold. It's not that, I view depression as something that is contagious and I simply don't want it. :/
I know, I went off topic a little. But there really is a whole lot of downer type people and depression on FB. In fact, When I think about Fb, Stuff like that is the first thing that comes to mind.
