May I know how addicted you are on Facebook? I am one of the FaceBook users.In here i found my relatives,classmates,long lost friends,and meet new friends as well.I was so thankful when I became a Facebook user.I have a very stressful life,depressed and I'm a melancholic.When i became a Facebook user,i was so thankful i have my leisure time spent through searching ,chatting & most of all,playing.At first it worked well.I have so much fun playing Farmville,Fashion World,Cityville,Bar World.so nice to feel you know how to do things in a very nice way.Later on,it makes me stressful again.So funny to think that whenever i go somewhere,i always am in a hurry to go home because I'm worried my Farm plants might wither,my Cakes will get burnt,My sewing machine will get wreck and a lot more.Gosh,is there anything in this world that wont stress us out?Oh my...

Gosh girl, you are not alone. I was thinking already that I am the only one who is so attached with facebooking. Glad to know, I have met one of my FB buddies. Cheers, Fbook is the best tension releaser I have ever known, for moms like me in particular. Without it, I guess I will look older than my age now. Facebook makes our life as homebuddies to be more colorful.

I'm not addicted to Face Book, but I love it, because of the format; the way it enables us to post links; videos; photos and so on. And the way we can see our friends' activities on a daily basis; the way it has fostered such a massive, vibrant sense of community, and enabled people to connect with friends from long ago. It's unique and extraordinary. I'd feel a terrible sense of loss were it to cease to exist; I depend on it, but I'm not addicted per se.

Not really.. When I started using it for a few months I got really hooked on it, because of the tons of games and chatting with friends. But then i realized that I was wasting so much time on the games and applications so I decided to limit my self and focus on more important stuff.

I just can't understand why people are running behind this facebook. I never seen so interesting or attractive with the site at all. Yes, I agree that it is a good site for which it created. But people become mad on this site is absolutely they don't have any other serious work. One way it exploits many people and silently steel the valuable time. No one realise how much man power is getting wasted on such places and people simply make a waste of useful time and every one should realise the fact and can reduce the time spend for such non productive activities. It is surprising that even grown up people also spend their time for farm and other entertainment works on this site. Thank-s

Like you, I have found long lost relatives and old school buddies on facebook. It is a good tool for that purpose. I really don't have time to develop an addiction and so don't use it much. I am not very familiar with all the facebook features but as a public forum, it is too public for my taste. By the way, stress can be healthy in a limited way because it's what causes us to address those things that are important to our survival and well being. When we let our stressors become distress then we have a problem.

Lol! I was like that when I started on facebook. Well who wouldn't be addicted to FB? It is the ultimate social network. I was like you too when it comes to games. I was so addicted to Mafia Wars I would time when my energy levels would get up so I won't miss the chance of recharging and leveling up. And Im like that right now with CSI Crime CIty. But being a facebook user for almost 5 years now, I think I have overcome that desire to always stay online in FB and just explore the vast world out there and just comment on almost all pictures. Right now, when I log in, I simply look at any messages sent to me thru FB, or play CSI, or just browse some interesting profiles. But FB has really been a big part of everyone's life.

I am member but in no way addicted. I really don't see how people can be addicted to it. It's just a website. The games are pretty lame in my opinion and I really hate how you con only like something, why not be able to hate it? I know I'd be putting that on alot of peoples things because I could really care less if you're having a snack or you saw a bird flying by or anything as mundain as that. I have about 46 "friends" and most are just people from highschool. I only really pay attention to about 3 peoples because they are the only ones that type anything worth reading.

Haha! I feel the same as yours. At first it will just be because of your curiosity but as time goes by you will be addictive to it that you don't hang up with your friends because you always want to go home because of your facebook games. And that's what i experience today.

Hello! I can say before i do waste lots of time in Farmville but now not anymore because of my duties as a mother. I only log into my faceboo account now if time permits and if i wanted to see some of my friends latest adventure, pictures and happenings about their life. To socialize, chat or send some message are the only things im doing in fb nowadays.

Hello, I been addicted to face book some two years ago. I used to play games that I found where interesting to me. But lately my time for using this site has lessened. I have so many things to do since I started a new business.
