SamT - 5/24/2023 21:29 My wife has probably several hundred friends on Facebook. That means everyday someone has a new car , remodeled home, or went on vacation. Next week mine will forget that I’ve been home at 5 every day this week since it’s too wet to cut wheat and I got her a new cloths washer today after a work meeting in the city.
IMO, Facebook
(all of social media but Facebook esp
) is a huge mental drain on people.
Before Facebook you had a handful of friends that you were in close contact with and knew what was going on in their lives.
Now you know when and where 100's or 1000's of people went on vacation, got a new car, got a raise, built/bought a new house, lost a bunch of weight, etc. All it does for a lot of people is causes tons of jealousy, resent and self pity.
