how can i stop being addicted to facebook?

It is only you who can stop yourself from being addicted to it. Like what I've watched in a drama" If you keep on doing it, it became a habit". It is only you who can that addiction. try to set your goals. What's your priority in life? What's the most important.

Altought I'm not addicted to facebook, sometimes it catches me and I find myself looking at things I don't need and I don't even want to know. Facebook makes us interact with people we don't even have a close relationship in the "real world" and I don't think it's good for us because it makes nowadays relationships weaker and sometimes fakes them. It blinds us. For me the solution is keeping facebook just for people we don't want to lose contact with and close friends and family, so we will have less "friends" which means less time to waste. Adding people we don't know and don't plan to know is pointless also adding people we have no good relationship with is fake and pointless too . Best thing you can do: Close Facebook, go outside, make real friends.

If you want to give a fullstop for your facebook craze..there is a simple step which will not take more than 2 min. Simply delete your facebook account.. If you really want to quit it do that.. don't either think about your contacts..because your life is more important for you.. Correct..?

Getting off of it and never turning back does help a lot. And really when you think about it, there is not that much Facebook offers once you find those friends you lost touch with years ago. Of course, in many cases, you are reminded anew why you lost touch with them in the first place. Believe me, that is a road that many have been done before. It is just a lot of times where it is just a lot of mindless drivel on Facebook. Of course, it is always the simple things that pull in the masses. That cause them to be highly addicted to everything. Really that is just nothing to do about it. It makes me saddened but it is utterly true. So leaving, removing your account is the key.

I think all you need is self-discipline.. Before, I was hooked with Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, etc.. Just couldn't live without them.. Whenever there are days that I would not be able to open them, it feels like my day is incomplete.. It feels like I am already missing so many things.. Then one day, it occurred to me that I was just wasting my time.. I thought why not devote my time onto other sites where I can earn aside from learning and reading other people's views.. You may also spend your time with your family and friends - bonding with them via outdoor activities, engage into sports, or other hobbies perhaps... Anyways, you'll get over it.. I know that would be for sure...

Divert your mind for seeking another site which is helpful and try stop surf Facebook slowly. Addict to Facebook can prevent you from doing other work. Facebook is just a socialize website is nothing much bring benefit if your just wasting time sending message comment or tag picture. Thus, stop from wasting time there, seek for new site is useful for you.

I can only suggest you redirect your activites on the computer and do other things that will help you earn some extra money. Maybe allow yourself to go to Facebook only once or twice a day to start and eventually give yourself one chance to visit it a day. Cutting back might be the way to start. I am a member but rarely check my account. Most of the time I know what our kids are doing and if I really want to know will call or email them. I might check my account once every 2-3 weeks. I do a few sites on the computer to earn and enjoy them. Good luck and hope you are successful in breaking away.

Try to discipline yourself by setting time on your computer usage like an hour to browse facebook, control yourself for extending it. Make yourself busy do some house chores, or run an errand make yourself productive

Easy. Get off Facebook! What's the grand attraction? I don't get it. I go there for a few minutes every few days but I don't stay there. If you really can't stop it, unplug the computer.

I am not addicted to facebook because I know addiction is not good wastage you should also care about time. Because now time is money. I not open facebook daily but open mylot daily because we can earn the money from facebook.

I think,u can set up targets here in mylot like posting for a certain number of discussions(a min of 10) with quality posts so that u can minimise the amount of time you spend on facebook.This is beneficiary as u get both money and information.Make this as your habit for some days.If u follow it strictly,u can cut short the wastage of time on facebook. If u are not interested in any online activity,they try to do something interesting and productive.The selection of the task completely depends on you.Do whatever u like,that u consider can be useful and productive. Or else spend time with yourself,learn about yourself(like ur interests,hobbies,intentions and desires). Have a healthy chat with your friends/family on some interesting and informative topic.

go to an island where there's no computers or internet connection. kidding aside, why not try to control the hours you use on facebook? let's say today, u spent 9 hours. then maybe tomorrow, u just use facebook for 8 hours. :)

It is good that you already recognized, facebook is just a waste of time. Ok, when you spend time there like hour a day it is not bad, but when you spend all day it is just waste of time. Try to focus on really important things for you, I am sure there are plenty of them. You already gave yourself right answer in description of disccusion

hi gcg, so what are your favorite things ? Do you like watching movies or reading or sports? I think you can try something you wanna do when you are browsing facebook so you will quit facebook in a easier way. Also, reading enhance your thoughts and sports make you more healthy, you can benefit from these in a further way . :)

Try picking up new activities to do outside the home so that way you're more focused on them, keep yourself busy and hang out with friends so your not tempted to always go on the internet and get on facebook. I like facebook too and i'm on it for 2 hours the most playing my games and surfing the site. I'm not addicted to where i'll be on it all day long though. I find it boring at times and theres a few days where i won't get on it at all. But I guess you have to come up with ways to try to stay off it, but best of luck and hope you can change your facebook addiction. Could also try cutting down the time you spend on it too each day and that will slowly reduce how much time you spend on it as well. Best of luck!

i think you must remember that facebook is only tools don`t waste all your time with playing in facebook if facebook had bothered you and make you are so addicted, maybe you can borrow your laptop or your PC with your brother or your friends for a while and you learn live without Facebook

Been there! I was wasting my time on facebook games before and seeing photos everytime I see a new one on the wall. I am glad I have found myLot and even if I put a lot of time on it sometimes, I know that I am gaining something from it.

Well, while I agree, that you should delete your facebook account, I think you should invite your friends here so you can comment on each other's discussions.And also going to facebook once in awhile is healthy since your an addict already, you just slowly taper your use of FB by the amount of hours you use the account. e.g. the today would be 3 hours, next day 2 hours , then the next 1 hour and so on.
