Good, looks like you have lot of time to waste. I feel it's better you spend time on Mylot posting good content and make money. Facebook if checked daily once or twice for 15 minutes is more than enough. I am happy that I am not addicted to Facebook like you. One main reason is that in my office Facebook is not accessible. I can use it only after reaching my room.

I agree with you anub we should spend more time in mylot than facebook and if facebook is checked once in a day or once in two days no problem. I am also not addicted. Nice response I like it and you get plus point from my side.

Hello to you. Just like you, I'm also totally addicted with facebook. I want to open it most of the time. When I'm infront of the computer, Facebook is the first thing that comes to my mind. I want to log-in immediately. I also love monitoring the profile or activities of my boyfriend or my other friends. I love reading their status updates, looking at their newly uploaded photos, reading their comments, and so on. I also love liking and commenting to my friends photos or other posts.
Aside from checking other people's accounts, I'm also addicted to uploading my pictures. I usually do it when I have a lot of time infront of the computer. I also love playing different Facebook games that I really stay up late at night just to play them. I also love talking to my friends using this site. If I couldn't use the computer in opening my account, I use my handphone so i would be updated in Facebook. Just like you, I use and browse this site till my battery is already empty. I don't know, I'm just really addicted to it. I want to spend the whole day using this social networking site. It's so useful to me. It really makes me happy whenever I could open my account and do the activities I mentioned. :)

hahah! same story. I read some research about Facebook addiction and found out that people who are anxious and socially insecure use Facebook more than those with lower scores on those traits, probably because those who are anxious find it easier to communicate via social media than face-to-face.

haha, I am like that too, but mainly when I have sent a message. I check it, like, every minute or so if they have responded. As to the rest of the facebook, it has be come very boring. It is only messages I am more interested in.
Although I am trying so hard to become addicted to mylot again. I haven't been earning money because of facebook.

Case to case basis. We also earned money through Facebook. Not directly but an instrument to gain more customers to our online business.

I used to be addicted to Facebook just as you describe, but now that I live with a family that includes a 7 and 3 year old I really don't have as much time to be addicted to it.

Agreed!
What helped me get over my 'addicition' was keeping myself busy at all times.
Whenever I had free time on my hands,I'd either make myself watch a movie i've always wanted or run to the gym!
Soon enough it began to fade.

There is no doubt that it has helped you connect your old friends. infact even i have had such wonderful experiences. but the problem is now people are getting more addicted to it.A social network has some significance in our life, but not that it takes the whole chunk of our personal space.

I am also quite addicted to Facebook. I also refresh my profile page every now and then, to check out my friend's status. Besides checking out their status, I actually subscribed to some good sites which they also post interesting or meaningful status periodically. I like to read those inspiring message and also some information I am interested. I used to get addicted to Facebook games, but after a while playing the same game, and found that I spent too much time on the game, I'd quit playing. I just quit playing Hidden Chronicles last month, and have not start a new game until now. Stop playing game really save me lots of time.

You're a Facebook Addict! LOL. I was too, maybe a year ago. Lately, I seldom log in to Facebook. I prefer writing some discussions here in myLot. I told myself that spending too much time in Facebook won't give me any earnings. Haha. You enjoy Facebook then, it's your choice. Happy myLotting!

I think facebook is going to have the same fate as that of orkut. initially people used to log into orkut and stay there every time. but finally when facebook came, people all jumped into that. Even stay at facebook is going to be temporary and people will move on from here.

Money,friends or just fun.You can stop it if you want it.Spend your time with some offline activities such as : sport,reading or hanging out with friends.It will reduce you addicted to facebook.Try to get work with mylot and have fun.

I think these days people spend too much time on online activities. the health of most of the youngsters are in real danger since their world has completely gone virtual. people dont go for outdoor activities like sports or fishing like they used to do some years back.

I don't know what got through Facebook. Maybe just because I am aloof. I don't have group of friends to hang out with so I just diverted my attention by posting pictures or finding friends.

I am not so fond of it. I may my favorate site as Youtube and I am much interested in songs. So, I don't want to spend more thank 5-10 mts. in fb and what else we do over there? Ok, we can see some funny, but good variety of uploads from people and some are really worthy. So, I don't waste hours in fb and it is not worth to it.

I see. But fb is a great help on our online business. Its not only about seeing uploads. But meeting friends posting discussions too or negotiating business. Nowadays, social media is the most effective way to attract future customers.

Facebook addiction? That was in 2006, not in this modern 2012. Got 5000 friends there and I havnt logged on there in 7 months. Even though the notifications is always coming up on my blackberry, I just don't feel the site anymore.

We can spend sometime for 10-15, which is ideal and if required. But sitting for the whole day is mad and I don't think they know anything apart from fb.

I think you just spoke a very goo point. Watching at some nasty shared video of others or liking some picture doesnt give you anything. there is nothing constructive going on in facebook. Even i use to spent much of my time there, but i have learnt my lesson.

I'll try to be more active here in myLot, might be the way to forget about Facebook. I join here not to earn money but just to post discussions and be heard. Earning is a bonus.

I used to be this way, but what's the point? One day I got sick and tired of reading about other people's lives and I deleted my page and it stopped just like that. If you feel that it's too much maybe you should consider deleting it, but if you enjoy it then there's nothing wrong. Hopefully it's not stopping you from doing other things though. Sometimes it can be a bad thing.

Facebook used to be a social media with good things some time back. But now a days it has become mere gossiping center. People just share some nasty things even we fall to it and just move around peeping into others profiles and stuff. Now a days, i find it as a mere waste of time.

Facebook has taken its toll many peoples personal lives. its not the problem with the facebook, its problem with the people who use it. We should know what priority each thing should have in our life. People forget this and give unwanted or unrequested importance for facebook in their life. they forget they are compromising on their own lives.

I am more addicted to this site.I got so fed up of all the nasty things that were going on, on face book, that now I have got so fed up of it all going on I hardly bother going on it.
I find it better seeing my friends, rather than reading all about them, or reading all the nasty things people are putting on facebook about my other friends and their lives.

I think facebook is becoming worse as the days progress on. The people are more involved in some petty fights and stuff. As you would be aware, it has got so much inflammatory messages being shared.

I guess this explains why you haven't been active for the past five months. I have never been addicted to Facebook. I know is a site where you can socialize with people from all over the world, but so what? You can socialize here at mylot and get paid. I don't think there's nothing wrong with monitoring your friends profiles, I do it all the time, but I don't do it on Facebook.

I love facebook every now and then I've always checked my profile and see if there's someone leave me a message.Facebook helps a lot to communicate your relatives,friends as well as to gain new friends.
