using Facebook to broadcast everything..

I do. I sometimes tell all my emotions through any media. Any form of social sites. Just because I sometimes feel like there's nobody who would listen to me, and it actually feels better.

I don not tell my feelings on facebook. I barely say anything on there but if I do it is usually positive and not very personal. I have seen people say some terrible things on there and my first reaction is "why did you have to put that out there for everyone to see?" It seems childish and immature.

Well, I can only use FAcebook to share to my friends the joys and happiness that I am currently experiencing but not when I'm in an emotional state. But I can see some of my friends that they posted their current status whether they are angry or sulking about any thing.

Well I think nothings wrong on being emotional and let anyone know, if your a private person then maybe you'll disagree with this..but for being emotional and let your closest friends know will be much okay , my friend list are my closest friends, it will be wrong if your friendlist will be all sorts of people you don't know and spilling your feelings to them, they will probably shrugged it of and says who cares.

A lot of my facebook friends lets their voice cry out through their status. I as well. These are people who i literally grew up with from elementary school to high school, so I don't see any problem when expressing myself. I use my facebook status to tell others my day, what great grades I've made on an exam, how I'm sleepy in class, anything that on my mind and I feel like sharing is just what I say. Thats just pretty much how everybody uses facebook. I don't know anyone who doesn't. Now people looking for sympathy over hating themselves is a different story, and none of my friends have or had post anything like this.

Hmmm, an outlet sometimes, yes. Sometimes it's one way of knowing if there are still people who cares and would definitely give some attention to those who wanted some. But to the point of emoting there is a different story esp. when it comes to too personal things.

Facebook is a social networking site, social means intervention between people, some air their dirty laundry back and forth, some times I find it funny, other times I find it sad. I use it mainly because we was uprooted with Katrina and had to relocate a 1000 miles from home, it gives us a way to stay in touch with family back home. They post pics of the kids and birthday parties, things you can't see over the phone. Some ask for prayers when things are going badly or there is a serious illness in their family, remember prayers work and the more the better, most people really do care, others don't matter what they think. I think you get out of it what you put into it, if laying your dirty laundry on the line is what you want to do then it will bring plenty of laughs. I only have family and friends on my list so don' t have so much drama. And I love the games.

Yes, I know so many people who do that. It is as if the people would be so interested in their emotion, their status, their feelings and anything about themselves all the time. They become stup! d and ridiculous that way actually.

Hi chiyosan. I would admit that I also spill my feelings on FB because I know that the ones who care will really care. While the ones who don't are free not to bother with whatever I write in there. It so happens that most of the people in my FB are really my good friends, or relatives and I know they can empathize with me, as I with them. I am just careful with what I post though. I am not the very dramatic type of person so I don't usually sound so "emo". I also try to post positive things instead of negative because what you write there affects a lot of people.

I am very careful not to "Air my dirty laundry" out on facebook. There are so many people out there, like you said, who use it as a method of gaining attention. I personally never write personal things on it, the only reason that I am on it at all is so that I can send PRIVATE messages to the people that I can't always talk to on the phone. I think that there are just too many reasons to keep your personal life personal, and I think that if you need attention, facebook is not the place to get it. I know a few people who have gotten in a lot of trouble over the things that they have posted and I believe that it is their own fault for posting the things that they do. I personally don't bother listening to half of the things that I see on there just because you never know who is telling the truth and who is just trying to get attention.

I used to have an account at Facebook and I deleted it because of everything you just mentioned there, other than that it was all confusing to me and did not like the site very well at all because of people talking and posting just about anything under the sun, yea especially the ones who want attention and sadly might get it in the wrong way, I guess I watch too many detective shows but they say once your information is out there it is out there for good, like where you live what you are doing down to what you are wearing and if you are home alone scary to me!! And I feel that site is one of those that people posts pictures of themselves and go on and on about where they are and what and where they are going, I don't know it was all just scary to me I"m sure a lot of people like Face Book but me no I see it as another Craig's List site you know what happened there right? The Movie? It is just not for me, who knows I could be wrong but I stick with my gut feelings.

I use it to broadcast when I'm really happy about something (like getting into a uni, doing well in a sport etc) but that's about it. My status updates are about once a month, though I've had 2 this month because a friend of mine did something I was really proud of so I mentioned them in my status too :) But if I'm feeling miserable or just normal I don't feel the need to post it. In fact if I'm feeling upset I want as little attention as possible, the attention seekers do get to me sometimes.

No, I never use facebook to tell other people how I feel. I think it's strictly personal, and I don't want others to know it. I use fb to keep in touch with people I don't see very often, especially with those friends who live in other cities or even in other countries; I also use it to inform everyone I know that something important has happened or is going to happen (events like births, graduations, parties). In fact, fb has turned out to be a pretty useful means to organize meetings or parties; as a class, we have a closed group which we use to exchange important information (such as homework) or simply comments about teachers. Not to mention the great role fb plays in reminding us of birthdays... I couldn't remember half of my friends' birthdays without it!

I use Facebook mainly as a place to put my witticisms and observational humour. I know that I don't care to read of anyone elses' emotional problems, so I figure the best I can do is lighten everyone's day with funny stuff, cool links, sciency news, and any other interesting thing I can find. I actually get the occasional wall post telling me how hilarious I am.
