Friends?
Today, on Facebook, I realized I had over 500 friends. I told my one friend and she changed her status to, "How can Dan have over 500 Facebook friends? Nobody even likes him." It got 42 likes and twenty comments that basically said, "Agreed." FML

Clout chasing
Today, to give the illusion that I have friends, I wrote an outrageous status on Facebook, and then pretended it was the result of a friend hacking my page, all in the hope that it would get comments, likes, or at least some attention. Nothing happened. FML
why they bomb
Campbell River, Canada
Today, feeling in need of a self-esteem boost, I took what I thought was a good selfie and I put it on Facebook. Out of 500 friends, the only response I got was a picture of Saddam Hussein with the caption, "This is why I bomb people." FML

Reset my life
Today, I updated my Facebook status as, "Lost all my contacts, need numbers". My mom commented, "Her phone didn't get reset, she just doesn't have any friends." Her comment got 32 likes. FML

You're supposed to post what you're thinking, NOT what you think would get the most "likes"... Screw what other people think! You shouldn't be afraid to speak your what's on your mind

Google+ is where it's at now, it's like Facebook but on steroids.

KRS_13 - no, I don't either. My brothers keep trying to get me to join ("You'd have known the big family news if you were on Facebook!"), but I refuse.

I don't use my Facebook after I realized how shitty the recovery system is.

According to Jeremy Kyle, all social networks are bad. I swear we could correlate the amount lie detectors and DNA tests with how many of them use Facebook on a daily basis. For those who don't know who Jeremy Kyle is, he is the British version of Jerry Springer. Just without the fighting, and the bearded douchbag in the corner making weird noises.

People still use google+?

You know what's EVEN BETTER??? Meeting in person! Talking on the phone! Video calls! Even texting! While the last three are not a replacement for face to face socialization, they are at least more personal than social networks, and they still retain this one thing called privacy. Can't people have a conversation amongst just themselves anymore? It's almost as if it doesn't exist/didn't happen if it's not put on display for everyone to see on Facebook or twitter or whatever else there is these days.

No 37. I had one but deactivated it. It was pointless.

This is the second time I'm saying this, society is going on a downhill slope. God, there is no hope for this generation.

With social networking is as bad as it is right now, I can't wait to see how bad it'll be in 10-20 years. :/

Facebook is ruining society.
NuTrees 9
I think most people on Facebook feel the same way. FeveryonesL cause Facebook exists. It's ruining our communication skills, sense, dependency and generation on the macro level. On the micro though, it ruins relationships. FB=bad.

thisisafunnyname 12
Giving yourself a high five is like clapping
cradle6 13
But clapping for yourself is like liking your own Facebook post

Therefore completing the circle of likes.
cradle6 13
Full circle. But either way, why would you post a status that you didn't like? o_0

Liking your own status is like giving yourself a high five in public.

Why so ignorant? No friends sunshine ?
Torva_fml 16
Go look up the definition of ignorant... she was more being a stuck-up bitch.. Anyways! Nobody said she ever gets thumbs up...
ShroomsOnAcid 17
92, Are you talking about 4? Or did a comment get deleted? I don't see anything in her comment to suggest being a "stuck up bitch". Quite the opposite, actually.
WordSmyth 2
I think she was saying in in a complimentary way you ******* puckered assholes.
Torva_fml 16
**** it, I interpreted a black woman as being a sarcastic bitch. It's just how all the ones I know act. Oops, stereotype, sorry.

83, haha I usually do. What can we do though, right? Thumb me down I suppose, then I feel jolly with the green thumbs and the red thumbs (christmas). So I'm pretty much being selfish.

It really doesn't take THAT much confidence to post a status
