Social networks are pointless in most cases, they're unnecessary and a waste of time. I've always felt there's more emotions in face to face conversations and Facebook completely takes that away, it's really just like having news for each individual person if they could be bothered making a post about how they're sad or what they're feeling. My experience using Facebook is that most people have nothing interesting to say, they're just there to browse through persons pages look at their history and just basically "judge" every aspect of them. Facebook and Instagram seem mostly narcissistic to me, where they post pictures of themselves for what? The whole idea of Facebook is bringing people together, but it's really taking people further apart. Being social has emotional sides, when you're just typing into a keyboard or your phone you don't feel the facial expressions and the body language. When you're too busy on Facebook you don't get outside and you don't feel proper socializing.
It's simply put, Facebook isn't healthy. It'd be okay to use 15 minutes a day, just to see what's going on with your supposed friends. But there's people who spend over 2+ hours just "socializing" on Facebook, the feelings of face to face socializing would slowly fade away if they didn't spend their time talking to people the way it should have always been. I don't think Facebook ever made me feel more socialized, it just made me feel even worse checking if anything was going on. It made me feel more narcissistic. I understand why celebrity's have PR managers, because they're busy being socially healthy, where society is slowly falling into the norm of where you have a Facebook account because everyone else is doing it. But it's probably different for different people, I, myself am not a very outgoing person when I don't want to be and Facebook definitely wasn't a place where I was going to be extroverted for everyone to judge me. Facebook comes down to the point where people are basically "stalking" them, they go over to someone's profile and look through all their posts to see what type of person they are, it's that simple because Facebook keeps history. If you met someone in real life, it'd be more of a discovery because you don't know about them, you aren't looking through all their posts.
I think more of Facebook for simple and fake socializing, it's just words and not feelings. Most posts are unoriginal and are usually pointless. There's hardly any debating going on in there, no actual conversations you can see publicly. Even more it's that teenagers use it and they're the one's not getting what it feels to have that type of social skills, it's destroying human social skills in a way. I don't want to live in a future where everybody is behind technology, where everybody isn't out there socializing the way is should be. Facebook isn't privacy, Facebook is just everything bad behind the wall, it's just social engineering. I suppose that's most of the reason I deactivated my profile.
