How to cure Facebook addiction?

What drives people to waste time on FB is the fact that they can play games which are not so great by the way, they can tell their friends something they can't say in person or comment on someone whom they just met recently and that commenting would be the first step for them to get closer, OR they just use it for purchasing online. No matter what the reason is, the phenomenon, yes, I mean the phenomenon must be put to stop. I'm not a hater. I also have an FB account teehee but at least I only spend 10 minutes or less on it...nowadays. So to cure the Facebook addiction, one needs to realize that life is so worth living and worth spending on more intimate, personal/in person, and caring endeavors. I'm also trying to discipline myself by not allowing ME to surf the net for more than two hours aside from the fact that it's really part of what I do for a living. Just think that Facebook won't give you any benefits in the long run ;)

i think many people are bored with their mundane lives, and their search the internet for some excitement, whether games, chatting with others, or etc.

Well I think that facebook became the most interesting social network worldwide I don`t know what made it so popular. Maybe people who recommended it to their friends and they recommended it to their friends and so on.It could be reason why it is so popular and more and more people join it daily. What motivates people to return there is I guess curiousness we just want to know something new about our friends red their statuses or share their videos. And there are also more and more games a its kind of challenge for me to be better than my friends in other words facebook is great source of fun and everybody loves it. This fact causes that people spend so much time on it and many of them are addicted.To answer your question about addicton you have to tell yourself that you are strong enough to limit the time you spend on facebook. Good luck :)

I was once a Facebook addict. However, I realized that being in FB and playing games are taking almost all of my time so I decided to stop. Good thing that it was Christmas break when I decided to stop because I went home and did not bring my laptop with me so that I had no way of accessing FB back home to play my favorite games. When I went back to the city where I work, I was surprised that I did not miss FB at all :). I never went back to the games as well. For it to be effective though, it is important that you decide to not be addicted to FB anymore. If you are really decided, everything follows. You'll learn to control yourself whenever you feel like going back to your favorite applications in FB. Good luck!

Facebook is very addictive, or at least seems addictive to most people, because thats what their friends say. No one wants to be the odd man out in their social group. What made Facebook popular, believe it or not, was most likely Myspace. Myspace started the social network trend, and Facebook was born through that. A way to control it is have some friends/family monitor your facebook usage from their prfoiles, and if they see you are on, then have them take something away from you for a short period of time. I know it sounds ridiculous, but believe me, it works.

Face book is indeed addictive not only to you but tons of pople around the world don't be so hard on your self about it try to come up with a schdule that would help ou cntro your addiction like say i'll check my face book monday wednesday friday sunday at noon and five o'clock and I will allow my self one hour to stay onlne but I will assign my phone numbe to inform me of urgent responses incase there is some thing tht my attention is needed for Why it is so addictive no body really knows but my idea would be just the common intest in friends and family the need to see what people are doing and thinking th intrest to be able to see some one'slife thereliving through pictures and comments

snowhybiscuis, Addiction to FB starts to sound bad when it has a negative result on your personal life, like almost everyone judges you with your posts, you spend most of your time in front of other peoples pages etc... Should things go way out of hand---I suggest that you delete all the contents of your FB or simply customize your privacy option all to "only me" and then deactivate it. tetsella

The best to cure FB addiction is to not post anything at all,if that does not work, deactivate your account.
