People without Facebook accounts - are they creepy or even dangerous?

It depends on whether they have some other form of communications. Now if they are isolated from other people and do not have an online account such as Facebook they might be a bit dangerous. It is not that they are lone, but are they alone by choke? For instance a writer wants to be alone to do his work as well s any creative person because they have to think, but when no one loves you, or if you are thinking of doing harm and need someone who is not there to tell you to stop thinking that way. then you are a danger.

That's a very interesting question you made there, but I do not think not having a facebook account seriously makes someone dangerous. I used to not have one in the past and I still do not quite use it a lot. In fact there are many more ways to be in contact with the rest of the world. I think real contact with people is more important than facebook when it comes to socializing, not being isolated.

It could have potential for problems. But, some people just don't have alot of family and don't have time for sites like Facebook. On the other hand if you look at a list of characteristics of serial killers and psychosis it all starts with isolation. But it also has some trauma, head injury and other things in the mix as well. Was his mother over bearing, was he into fire and abandoned by the father, etc. If there has been a cycle of violence in his life then there is a probability of him using violence whenever he is challenged. It depended on alot of variables.

ROTFLMAO! That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard! So this professor claims that not having a Facebook account reflects a certain degree of isolation?! Hahahahahahaha! Well, color me unbalanced and dangerous because I don't have a Facebook account either. I like my anonymity on the internet. I don't want to broadcast my personal life to the worldwide web.

So, what about those people with facebook account, and they try to impersonate another person in those social network, what do you think of them. Are they some sort of psychotic or not? What about those people who creep around facebook and other social network channels, and ultimately, they serve as predator on those girls, who are they? Do you think they are not dangerous?

I Think what you presented to us is very isolated issue. The speaker is making a very generalized claim that those people with Facebook accounts don't have an alternative means to socialize with others. True, making a Facebook account is a choice but the choice is also the same and applicable to a person who doesn't want to have one. I for one, was forced to make an account due to my friend's insistence. But having a Facebook account doesn't make a uber socializing and networking person. I think that some people really credit Fcaebook too much when it comes to networking and connecting with oterh people. However, there is life before, after and without Fcabook. What scares me more is the people who are actually addcited and think that they cannot life without the site. Perhapos what the person called Tooley need is a friend but not a networking site.

So just because I refuse to have my privacy invaded I'm dangerous? Just because I do not want strangers to play like they are my friends I'm the psychotic? Great! Does this mean this doctor will tell others to leave me alone? Good! I posted a few months ago that since I don't have Facebook to others I don't matter Now they are saying I Still don't matter And I'm dangerous. I can't be both!I think it is that same old if most are doing it Everyone Must be doing it! And if you are not , there is something wrong with you. Last time I checked there are many who not only are not on FaceBook but are not even online! so I guess the " doctor" has a plan to get Every man , woman , or child online and on Facebook! And if they can't or won't they will be deemed dangerous and then what be jailed ? Killed? What? In any case I love the idea of going from being " Nothing " to " Dangerous" ! Just by not joining Facebook!

Hi there! I do not think that if anyone does not have a Facebook account, s/he is isolated or abnormal. I know many who does not have a FB account, however, they are doing very well in their life and career. I think, it is matter of personal choice and time one could devote for such activities. BTW, I have a FB account.

that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Not having a facebook account doesnt mean you are isolated to the world haha. Physically talking to someone is way more important than instant messaging someone, which I assume he did, so it defeats the purpose of the argument haha. This is once again, way to funny that they would consider him isolated lmfao

Before facebook people were living normal lives and I don't see how not having a facebook account would make a person abnormal. I guess some of these psychologist people just have weird opinions.

Oh my gosh, this is really annoying!! I can't believe people can sum things up like this. I recently reopened a facebook account for business purposes but that thing does not define how mentally fine you are. I'm sure there are serial killers on Facebook.

Well, I know for certain that there are a lot more people in the world than there are individuals that have facebook accounts and that fact doesn't make me think that those people are dangerous. That said, there are a variety of different reasons that people don't have facebook accounts so to say that just because a person doesn't have a facebook account means that they are dangerous is very wrong in my honest opinion.

I'm starting to wonder if Facebook paid that professor to make such claim. It's just plain stupid generalization. For me, those who rely on internet for their social life and have zero social life that as in real life are the ones who have the tendency to be psychotic. My mother don't have a facebook account, so as my sister, my brother in law and the list just goes on an on and none of them are showing signs of being psychotic nor they're showing signs of killing anyone.

Today it is used to have an account on a social network. Since the Internet was invented and offered to the people it spread around the world. A large number of people have an account on Facebook or another social network. Folks are communicating to each other on those nets –especially the young, I think. If you don't have an account you can lose contact in some way. But I think there are many other ways to have contact with people, like gathering with friends or meeting together occasionally. Then I don't think that not having an account on Facebook could be sign of something dangerous. You could be together with much people but you could feel lonelyness too. I think If you feel an inner fulfillment will not feel alone. :)

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a facebook account, I can't get rid of it because I have it now and something so drastic as deleting my facebook account would be known to everyone. LOL! Those people without facebook account are smart. Really Smart, maybe that's why people think that they are criminals. Criminals are intelligent and think things through. Or crazy? regardless, people who don't have facebook thought it through and didnt like the outcome

I dont have a facebook account and actually in our local place,people prefer to keep in touch with each other in reality life by phone,on the contrary,people who like hanging out on the internet will creat a impression--faineant

I know a few people who don't have Facebook accounts and they seem to be fine individuals,I don't see any sign of them turning into psychos ready to cause much suffering to others.They may be seen as a little weird by others since almost everyone has a Facebook account nowadays,but it's their choice and it should be respected;after all,many people,including myself,lost much of their initial interest in Facebook after discovering more interesting sites like Mylot,so in my opinion people who don't want to have a FB account don't loose anything,and I don't find them weird,they're just a little different like most of those who like socializing on Facebook day after day.

I think it is a statement without basis. There can be so many reason why a person does not have a Facebook account. It varies in age and lifestyle whether or not a person will want to have a Facebook account. It is not a requirement to have a Facebook account just to prove people you are normal.

hahahaha this is funny ......facebook came into existence few years ago and before that there wasnt any facebook to socialise with people or pass your time but back then people werent criminals facebook has nothing to do with criminal psychology resulting in making you creepy or dangerous i dont buy this

hi:) I have a facebook account , but my parents don't have, they communicate to their friends and family using text messaging or skype. I don't think that if a person don't have fb means s/he is a psychotic, because many older people I know don't have, but I think they are not capable of killing someone.
