Is it normal that i feel depressed and have low self of steam because....

Hey u have bad esteem issues that is based on Facebook.

Can't fuckung stand this shit, everyday I log in to my Facebook and my soul is literally taken away from me one little bit of time, i goto my friends profiles and they have 500 or so friends and I only have 150++ friends I'm not a frequent user but, but this has been getting me recently, maybe it's a narcissistic thing I don't give a fuck. But have any of u felt so low because u don't posses as much fb friends as ur friends do.

I literally fear going onto Facebook just to see who's added them.

    I have 39 facebook friends and I'm fine with it, because I actually know these people. I have a friend with over 1200 facebook friends and I think it's ridiculous because you can't possibly actually,''know'' that many people.

      Good response! I don't even know how many I have, I've never bothered to count and I couldn't care less - most are either friends in real life or family members I care about.

      I was amazed when I first went on facebook that people came out of the woodwork from decades back, including an ex-lover, wanting to be friends. If they weren't friends in real life, I don't understand why they bothered and I only accepted people I wanted to have contact with again.

    Maybe if you get off facebook and study english you won't write such funny mistakes as "self of steam" for self esteem? Just a thought ......

    people's lives are not as great as they try to make it appear on Facebook. at least this is what I believe because I need to reassure myself that I'm not a loser.

    Are those 150 friends really "friends"? or just numbers? Think about it. Quality over quantity! ;)

    I have a Facebook account that I stupidly opened about six years ago, but I wasn't happy with my life so I didn't accept any friend requests from anyone. I honest didn't expect anyone to find me. I never go on there or post anything, my Facebook account is basically a ghost town of sorts. I'm okay in a weird denial sort of way about it. I just pretend that I forgot I ever opened the damn thing, pretend that I'm too busy and have better things to do, but really I don't want my old friends to see that I'm a failure. Maybe I'm not a failure, but I feel like a failure, because I quit working in my field of study a little over fifteen years ago. Did I mention that I'm a college drop out? I'm living somewhat near my hometown now, but inside I'm a million miles away.

    ... but I digress. Nope, I don't use social media. Sorry about the random, stream of consciousness rant about my insecurities an inadequacies. Blarg.

    Learn how to talk.
    Its self esteem.
    Not self of steam.
    A typical kindergarten drop - out.
    Yeah , sure , everybody has 500 +++++ friends on the bogus facebook.
    That is the biggest farce and BS known to mankind.

    I have about 169, at least fifteen are people I want to stalk.
    Most are people I keep for sentimental reasons, some are trolls I like and others, very few are close friends and family.

    I keep my list short, usually never accepts randoms.

    I feel like social media can sometimes be a downer to some people, your value aren“t measured by how many friends you have on social media, or in real life.

    these aren't real friends, close your account and make some real friends, i would rather have two or three good friends that i could rely on if i ever needed any help, rather than 500 faces on a computer that weren't real friends.

    "self of steam"? That's a new one.

    For the sake of making a vaguely constructive comment: Maybe you'd get more Facebook friends if you used better English. Try to improve your writing and see if it helps.

    If you have a friend with 500 friends, friends that friend never spends any time with, just like that friend doesn't spend any time with you, then think about it that friend doesn't really have any friends and neither do the other 500...example Billy is 34 and he knew his friend Jimmy in 4th grade but hasn't spent any time with him since, then Jimmy is just one of the 500, Not really a friend, but just a number and besides who even gives a fuck about facebook?

    I don't like Facebook or use it often. I some times look at family posts but seldom comment.

    Facebook won't take your soul unless you let it and facebook is NOT the whole world. MR.mr is correct: they're not real friends if there are so many of them, how could they be?

    If the facebook and other friends are good friends, that's the important thing, not the number of mainly fake superficial facebook friends.

    Maybe just stay away from facebook for a while and focus on the real people in your life?
