10 reasons to hate facebook

1. If you don’t like crowded places, facebook is not a place for you. You will find all kind of people in it, just like when you travel in a metro/ tube/bus/train you tend to bump into all categories of people, people who are weird, ugly, interesting characters, beautiful people and all other categories you want to categorize people into. But unlike a metro or tube where you would not talk to a stranger unnecessarily, on facebook you may receive a friend request or a poke from someone you don’t know at all. And to add on that you can get messages from strangers as well asking what you do and where are you from etc. Facebook was never for you.

2. Places- facebook offers a functionality which tells the exact location of where you are at a given point of time, this implies that you don’t have any privacy. Be rest assured to face questions and remarks from your friends when you are at a particular place and you didn’t want them to know about it. Especially when you are in a relationship and want a hideout, may God bless you.


3. People talk just about everything on facebook, starting from what are they eating, where they are, movie reviews, political views, expert comments on sports,social issues or any other matter that you can think of as a debatable topic. One thing that is scarce on facebook is the respect of others views and thoughts. If you like expressing your views freely, facebook isn’t the place for you.


4. If you are an amateur photographer, writer, painter, musician etc. or even an artist who believes in constant learning and growing and also appreciating others creations, facebook isn’t the place for you. You will find great artists who only believe in their own creation and think that others don’t have creative abilities. I don’t know if you will be surprised to hear, as a matter of fact, all these great artists achieve their so called greatness by mutual admiration (I leave it to you to define the mutual admirers group).These great artists don't believe in the fact that Art is never perfect. Oh yes, feedback is something you will never have to ask for on facebook (it comes free of cost and against your will).


5. If you have a bad argument with any of your friends, barely it will happen when you will get to know the issue direct from your friend’s mouth (surely there will be your best friends who will always come to you and tell you if they felt bad about anything you said to them, and for such friends it doesn’t matter if they are on facebook or not), you can expect to read that friend’s status message directing at you. If you like direct conversations, facebook is not for you.


6. If you are in a relationship and you accept a friend request from the opposite sex, you will face questions from your partner, needless to say questions often lead to arguments. If you believe even if you are in a relationship you still have your own life, and can still make friends then facebook shouldn’t be in your browser history as the last logged in page.


7. If you are there to make friends, be in touch with your school friends or old childhood friends or have a nice social life, you are mistaken, mostly people use facebook to prove their point, publicize their skills, showcase their creativity. Basically it has to do with gaining attention and show-offs. If you are not an attention seeker, sorry you won’t feel too happy being on facebook.


8. If you don’t like being part of online communities created by your friends or acquaintances and wouldn’t want to see unnecessary updates that keep popping up every minute, facebook isn’t the place for you.


9. If you are a private and reserved person and don’t want people to interfere in your personal life, facebook may very well destroy your private and personal life.


10. If you want your email account to be secure and safe, facebook isn’t for you.

    I can say that I've been using social networks for about 8 years and never saw anything like FB...People simply show what you would like to see but mainly what you don't give a **** :D
