Are you addicted to facebook?

Facebook now seems to me just a waste of time since i discovered mylot. But i still visit the site every now and then to check on my friends and to check if i have messages or invites. But i leave the site as soon as i'm done checking. On some days, i use the chat option if an old friend is online. but i really spend most of my time on mylot. not only for the earnings but for the discussions.

i'm not addicted.once i didn't check it for 2 weeks but then there will be lots of notifications, friend requests and mail.but now i do check it everyday because i got the time..if i'm busy,maybe i will check it once in a while.there are few boys asking my number on facebook which make me feel really uneasy..i don't like it

Its been two years since i joined Facebook---but never showed interest to hang out there with my friends and i seldom visit it---i'm not social nerworking sites basically.I have started visiting it more often these days may be someone made to do so and i'm starting to enjoy that site as well---coming to the games i dont want to become an addict so i keep myself away from those .great day.

I love Facebook! I don't wanna use the term "addicted" by the way, but Facebook is my home page and I am logged in for the entire day LOL. However I don't update status every minute as I find it kinda annoying and unnecessary. I used to like all the games before but since there are a lot of them now, I have stopped playing Pet Society, Petville, Restaurant City, and Fishville. I only play Hotel City now and I can't say that I am addicted to it. Another reason why I love FB is that it's very user-friendly and cool at the same time. I love the functionality, and I love how I get to interact with my high school friends easily. About unusual experiences on FB, well there was this girl who studied at the sister school of my high school, and then she sent me very rude, insulting messages. She even cursed me. LOL. She also posted the same comments on my wall and on my photos. It was really weird because we don't even know each other personally. That girl has a lot of haters in the university she's going to now.

I have never been addicted to facebook.I have one and open it from time to time but just because I am curios of my friends photoes or when I used it for the chat because most of my friends could be found there all day long.I did never understand how a man can wake up some hours earlier before going to work just to work in his farm.It is pretty stupid.Or open some luck wishes-go out and try your luck you won't find in sitting in front of the pc.

hello i am on facebook i used to enjoy their games farmville but now it is getting just bored to be frank in facebook i just go there and play their applications it is a really nice concept

I think i used to be.. especially because of farmtown and cafe world. Lol. Those are games in FB. I read about an article in Yahoo and they presented the so-called FAD, acronym for Facebook Addiction Disorder. According to the article, here are the symptoms or signs of someone having FAD: Are you a Facebook addict? According to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who was interviewed for a CNN report, here are some signs that you are addicted to Facebook: 1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day. 2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site. 3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook. 4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook. 5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help. According to the same report by Elizabeth Cohen, Senior CNN Medical Correspondent, Facebook addiction is not yet an actual medical diagnosis. source : Yahoo!News Out of the five, I answer in affirmative for numbers one and two..and negative for the remaining three. Lol. This was before, but now, I can survive a day and even a week without FB. LOL!

I was addicted to Facebook before I realise that it was an addiction:-) Well, I think its a great application. Moreover its fun.

I do not want to say addicted because I am not. I can last days without logging in to it. However, when I get the chance to come online, it is the first site I visit. It always feels good to read updates from friends and loved ones.

I used to be. But now I seldom log in to it. Except of course if I get an email notification that someone sent me a message or commented on something connected to me. I used to play a lot of games in there. But not anymore. I'm in a middle of juggling a lot of things right now. And I think I enjoy mylot better.

there are alot of good frendly paople there. it is the best.

No.I prefer Twitter.Facebook is too comersial.

I am checking my facebook account everyday to keep posted about my friends. I don't engaged in any application because what I only want is to connect with my friends. Hope you don't mind, you mentioned about your regular writing chores. Are you a freelance writer? To whom are you writing for? Are you a Filipino? I am kinda interested. Please let me know.

I was addicted to facebook before specially their apps. I even didn't go to school because of that. Farmville, Pet Society and Friends for sale they were super love! But now, I quit playing this games because I am too busy now with my job :)

A couple of years ago I remember signing up for Facebook, but at first I didn't like it because back then I was hooked using Myspace. You know that time when people were into decorating their profile page, putting playlist music, HTML layouts and such -- But then the issues evolved with hackers, scripts and those that stole passwords to post vulgar content from your own profile. Then for a while I stopped using social networking sites. It was then around mid 2009 Facebook started growing more into popularity, more new features were added, better games such as Mafia Wars, Bejeweled, the built in twitter type update box, adding groups, much more not even having to worry about putting new layouts or HTML codes -- And to this day that is just obsolete or old fashion to do so. Yes Facebook is addicting -- I use it, my sister, brother in law, family and friends -- So many that used various social network sites have quit using them and converted over to use Facebook. For me I keep two separate accounts one for my own personal account for my friends and family. The other account is my gaming account for Mafia Wars -- that way I can just keep those posts only for the game because I wouldn't like it clogged in my own personal account.

I admit that I am also addicted to facebook. The first thing I usually do when I wake up in the morning is to check my facebook account. I am trying to control the number of times I go online cause it takes up a lot of my time. One positive thing I find in FB is that it relieves my stress when I am having a bad day at work. I usually chat with my friends there when that happens.

i used to be nonchalant about facebook when it was still in its early stage but then my officemates exposed me to the world of FB games and now I am super hooked! i used to playa round 10games but i swore to myself that i will cut down my FB games time and do something more productive hahaha. but i'm not really into checking the profiles and status of people. maybe once in a while but not everyday.

I joine facebook couples of month back, i never thought i am going to make me daily habit,its very addictive, Now i have joined mylot fews day back and i am feeling that mylot too is addictive. I spent lots time on facebook either particpated in some context or have chat with friends or some thing or other.

Hi joram328. I'm not addicted to facebook. I was a facebook user once but eversince facebook tries to mimic microblogging sites by allowing people to comment status updates and those kind of stuffs like twitter or plurk makes me really think it starting to interfere with people personal life. Besides the email notifications just bug me a lot. Everytime friends start tagging photos, comments etc. I ended up cleaning the mail just for additional work of tidying up my email space. I like twitter or plurk and myLot since you can be what you are and share your opinion while staying anonymus. Besides I don't want to share my everyday life to people that I dont know anyway. cheers.

I suggest you to see a South Park episode about Facebook (but I don't remember the title, sorry): anyway, like usual, very satiric: I like facebook, but just few minutes at day (and talking with people that I already know for real!) bye
