When Was The Last Time

You Sent Someone A Real

Greeting Card :

No one can tell how many real , physical birthday cards they had gotten on their last “ big day ” . Since everybody has joined Facebook , expecting physical cards would be a waste of time, you might as well start hugging your Facebook wall

and timeline cos that ’ s where all the hugging happens these days .

You See Relevant News

When It Has Become Old

News To Others:

Even when you get to hear the latest things happening in the lives of your family and friends on Facebook , you would notice they had already gotten more than 80 “ likes and comments on that very topic you are just getting to know despite the digital age . Funny enough, you get to know things through the comments others

had left behind most of thffe times.

You Always Wish You Were

Someone Else :

When people who seem like they are better looking , have nicer homes, cuter life partners, awesome vacations, behaved kids and more cool friends than you show off their pictures on Facebook , odds are that you would wish to be like them. They get you thinking all day , and you end up thrusting yourself into a world of fantasy. You may spend all day wishing you were like them when in fact, you may be better than them. 

It Changes Your Choice Of

Food :

You might have to change things you used to eat

for their own kind of food just to feel as happy as they seemed while gorging on the good stuff. Yes nothing says it right until you give it try…. right? Remember everything on Facebook might ‘seem’

but it might not be . Plus what is good for them may not be good for you and so you’ ll end up ingesting more calories than necessary .

You Find Your Old Friends

Boring :

Those people who just couldn ’ t be with had become your less favorite after meeting news friends who might be “ fake ” . Fake Facebook

close friendship exposes the dull nature of others.

You Find Yourself Boring :

When you see other people post pictures and get plenty likes and comments , you will start asking yourself the big question ‘ why don ’ t I ever get to cause traffic when i upload images as my friends ? Why do i always get zero comments or likes after making a post ? The answers can slowly break you.

You Have Become A Lifelong

Sufferer of FOMO:

Sometimes when two or more of yours friends have a shot without you, you would start thinking who arranged the whole thing, why they didn ’ t tell you about it, why they all feel comfortable together while you are not there , why they snubbed you, what went on after the shot and

even where they took the shot . The fear of missing out would have a grip of you, and lets face it, that ’ s not an easy feeling to shake off.

You Try Too Hard To Look

Good :

You need to work out , burn all the fats possible , get brighter teeth, brighter skin, have a good hair do , put on too much make up and dress beyond your ability in order to set the record as one of the pretty babes. You always want to dress to impress your friends before taking any shot that would be sent to Facebook so your

friends don ’ t get to say you are slacking in fashion.

It Helps You Waste Your

Time:

Facebook sucks away your golden time you would have used in something more productive , learning new skills or engage in educative conversations . Have you ever wondered how many books you would have read by now if you had ignored Facebook all your life ? The time we waste on Facebook all day if invested in something useful would triple our yields 

You Can No Longer
Keep Your Life Or Activities A

Secret :

With Facebook , there is no such thing as privacy. Even when do not post something , someone else will post it or tag you in their post . Gone are the days when you can lie to your boss or your parents or even your kids, they will find

out and you will be in hot pepper soup .
