Facebook

I deactivated mine once for a little while. Since I'm nearly a shut in I like the little access it gives me to the world.

I love it because my daughter-in-law is awesome about posting pics of my granddaughter, son, and herself! It helps me not to miss them SOOO much!! I also get to keep up with the people I care about that are not 'phone talkers', like myself. I check my privacy settings frequently to make sure nothing has changed. I couldn't bear NOT seeing this sweetie!!

Facebook can sooooo be a double-edged sword. It's great for sharing news and pics, but boy do people feel great when you tumble. They'll even "like" it. I only post what I don't mind my therapist reading, and I try not to post when I'm upset. It can be hard to do. I see people on my friends list in huge depression and letting it out there. I feel so bad for them because I know the next day, like taking a drink or whatever, they'll wish they didn't.

Jenfa, I think the like on there is similar to the like on here. It is there not to show that you necessarily like it but that you are there for support. That you hear what they are saying. I still feel weird hitting like on either site when someone is having a bad time.
