Why sometimes using facebook makes me depressed.

I don't think it should make you depressed but if those things bother you then you need to relook at your own life and what you are thankful that they don't have. You might be surprised by how much you have.

people uses facebook to express how they feel.. being happy, sad, lonely, upset brokenhearted etc,. and also some bragged about everything they have.. new car, new gadget, travel and we cant blame them because we are living in a free world though sometimes i find also facebook makes me feel depressed maybe because i do envy people post their success and happiness.. but life is not all about material things.. you can be happy just being with your family.. simple things can also makes us happy if we only look at it in a positive way..

I used to go to Facebook a lot, mainly to play games but I did socialize some. I just don't need it anymore. Once in a blue moon I will wander over and talk to friends and family. I find more fun and peace right here on MyLot.

I understand how you feel but someday it will be your turn to shine! Just keep trying and keep your head up, it will happen if we work hard to get there. Having money is not the most important thing in life you know. Yes, it's nice to have but it's not everything. I used to feel the same way, thought others looked down upon me because I don't have a career like they do nor do I have the money they have. But then, one of the "richer" ones per se on there told me they were jealous of ME! I was like what? Why? They said because they want to have a family of their own and a business of their own like I have and to be happy in their life like I am with mine. I never thought anyone would be jealous of me but they were. Then I realized, everyone wants what someone else has. I thought it would be great to have a career, and other people want to have a loving family like I have... No one is better than anyone else. We all have chosen our path, if we don't like what we chose only we can change it. It might take time but eventually it will be worth it! =)

So since everyone has facebook, we are ought to have facebook. But I deleted mine and I don't want my life to revolve around it. Yes, even in facebook people who loves to insult and people who loves to brag find it a very useful tool. If you are living in disneyland and the celebrity then you need facebook. Now if you live in slum areas, why do you need facebook? Because facebook is a modern tool for ego trippers.

hi again fearlessgara, I feel the same way like you. But what I also think whenever I feel that is just keep in my mind that I already have the most precious gift in my life and that is my son, and also my husband who is very supportive to me, although we are not rich or doesn't have big earnings. Just always look at your daughter whenever you feel sad or unsuccessful because I think that you are really a great person - see, you can provide anything what your daughter needs and that matter most.

I use fb to keep in touch with friends and family. Yesterday I got a message about a family member of my ex who I still kept in touch with after 30 years ...she passed away yesterday and I wouldn't have known otherwise because nobody really knows who I am. I"ll tell you it didn't make my day!

I have been a member for only a few months but I just don't enjoy it at all. I really cannot see what the fuss is about and all these hundreds of people that want to be my friend I find really annoying. No - it is not for me.

I understand what you feel because I also feel the same way sometimes. Whenever I see my classmates getting married or going abroad, I feel so envy. I wish that one day I could also wear that white wedding gown and travel and work abroad. Those are my dreams. However, I have realized that I must not waste my time complaining of thinking of sad thoughts. To avoid such unpleasant feeling, I just check my facebook notifications and then just close it. I would love to talk to my online friends in facebook or just send emails, watch videos or practice English.

Hi gara! Networking sites are also important in our kind of job especially if we are into writing, blogging or affiliate marketing. So I would suggest that you close that account and open a new one to find new friends having the same interest as you are. They can help you more. I did it. Have a nice day!

Then maybe you should quit Facebook if t keeps giving you the negativity. I only use my Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends, but I agree that most people use it as a bragging ground to gain attention or just to make themselves feel good through bragging or showing off. You can either quit it, or change how you see it. Instead of being depressed, why not use your friends' accomplishments as an inspiration or motivation to do better.

I can understand how you feel and sorry for you . Many people in this society are like that. When they are better of, they tend to forget who their friends are. They only want to share their joy and happiness around . I no longer possess Facebook account. I do not find it meaningful. So, I closed my account for quite sometime now
