I decided to deactivate my Facebook page because I got tired of having arguments with my fiance about harmless messages. It has been about a week now or two now, and I am having friends come to me and tell me all of the discussions of Facebook I am missing out on. Even though I am curious, I don't neccesarily want to come back, but I also don't like being out of the loop. Have you taken down your facebook page, and if so, did you leave it deactivated permanetly. Why or why not?

I still have mine and honestly, I don't even know why I have it. Random people keep adding me and then when I ask who they are they keep telling me stories of how we know each other or act like they did not add me. I was a fan of facebook in the beginning, but not it is really boring. The only thing good about facebook now is that I can talk to my friends and help them if they need something, which I could also do over the phone. So really there is no point of having one. Now they added new security features, I guess Mark does not want people to make money off facebook, like when people keep adding friends they might know the system will prompt for txt msg verification, which is totally stupid.

I think you've done the right thing by doing this, but you're bound to experience withdrawal symptoms because Facebook is something that can take over our lives. It isn't just the chatting, but also the games that are on there, as they draw us in and can sometimes even persuade us to spend money on them, despite the fact that you don't get anything for your money, and also don't get any real-life prizes if you reach high levels or complete goals. It will get easier, and you will learn to live life without Facebook. You managed it for many years in the past, so there is no reason why this shouldn't be the case in the future.
