does owning a facebook account make you have a low self-esteem?

Facebook is kind of like highschool all over again for some people. Don't get caught up in it. You're going to clubs, doing what you want to do. That's all that matters.

How about you add family, and post all the pics you want. I guaranteed they'll like it. FB is like a movie it has lots of actors, and characters. FB is for entertainment only. I have 3000+ friends but I just play games, keep up with sports, things of that nature. Stop worrying if no one else likes your pic, like it yourself, because those people don't matter. Please don't call your self ugly I'm sure you're a beautiful person. Physical beauty is nothing like being a beautiful person. Work on your confidence, you're not ugly, you're beautiful. Say it, believe it.

Most definitely

People dont normally share the bad parts. I usually make my life seem more fun than it probably is.

Most people pick apart their lives and project the high points onto Facebook and try to hide the rest, then again it still doesn't make me feel better when things aren't going well.....hmmmm, I seem to have ruined the original sentiment of my post

Every time I log onto Facebook, I see nothing but people in my age range(26-31) acting like 12-15 year olds. If anything the site make me wonder why I have these idiots added as friends.

I think FB is ridiculous. I know for a fact people make themselves out to be better than what they are (really?!)

For one example, a lady raved about how great she was doing in school, when in fact she had dropped out weeks ago.

The same lady said how great her new boyfriend was, when in fact he was verbally and physically tormenting her kids.

I know both of them personally....

There are more trolls on FB than there are...here lol

While I do have an account there, I forgot my password years ago and I couldn't care less.

well actually my dad works for facebook... and he cleans merk zukerburgers shoos

Nope.

A lot of the time FB sucks. Many people only show the good stuff, carefully staging FB photos, meals, drinks and outings to show everyone what an 'incredibly-fabulous-and-aren't-you-jealous-of-me and my-life' they pretend to everyone they're having. Last week I saw a FB 'friend' doing exactly this on the beach with her BF.

No it doesn't lower your self esteem. You just get a lot more spam than usual. Spam not as adverts, but as pointless stuff your friends post.

As for the picture thing, most people put up only their best photos and only write the good stuff. Also some people even lie on facebook.
"#feeling glamorous at Cafe Sperl in Vienna!"
And in reality they are at home for the weekends, searching for celebrity news and pretending to be on a fabulous euro-trip XD XD XD
You don't see anyone putting selfies of them wasted, getting picked up by the cops XD

So don't be bothered with what people post. Use facebook as a communication tool. As for the friend delete thing, maybe they didn't know it was you. Tell 'em you got a fb.

"a lot of people who I sent a friend request to, didn't accept." maybe they don't recognized it was you. Don't get hurt by it.

You just use how you want to, you don't have to pay attention to others and if you don't want to put up anything and just use your account functionally that is fine as well. I don't get why people feel they need to have some social media contest to be popular, if anything these thoughts are superficial.
