FACEBOOK: Three stabs in ONE day! How to avoid this plague?

brazilgirl21 · 11-03-2009, 06:39 PM

I can't stress this enough: STAY AWAY FROM FACEBOOK.

I'm a ridiculously curious person by nature but I MUST stop using facebook. It is the worse thing that ever happened to relationships, break ups and healing.

Today I got TWO (well THREE) stabs through this lovely social network.

1) My best friend befriended my ex's new girl since her boyfriend is best friends with my ex. I have her password. Needless to say I had to go look and there was one photo (out of 100 of her) with him that said: "Endless Love", yes, endless love. This was my ex of 3 years. And we got back together in the end of last year, he was already with this girl, it was messy and in the end he chose her. Now the funny thing is she had "single" until the DAY my best friend added her. Now it says "in a serious relationship". All her friends were like, "R, you've been dating for months, why only exposing it now?". And she goes: "Oh, don't bother me girls, I just noticed it..." Come on, yeah, right. Then 5 hours ago she put this photo up with "Endless Love". Anyways, I'd do the same if I was her but it still hurts!!!!! My ex doesn't have a facebook, TG!

2) This one hurt me more, surprisingly. After my ex, I dated this guy for two months whom I thought was absolutely perfect, we weren't exclusive so I found out he was dating me and this other girl and we broke things off and he continued with her. He unfriended me on facebook but I can still see his profile and today I went look (I am stupid) and he just put in a relationship with the girl he was two timing me with (and her)!! He literally chose her over me!!!!!! He didn't even put in a relationship with his ex of months and with this girl, ugh... This is so bad for my self esteem. I wish I was in a relationship with him... NOT her. =[

3) The guy I've been dating for 2 weeks left a comment on his friends Halloween photos: "I'm SO jealous of you all. I wish I was with you guys this day". He's from L.A. and is currently living in Brazil and spent Halloween with me, clearly, he'd rather be with his friends. I'm starting to really like him but after all this * * * * with these other boys I'm pretty much hopeless. Anyways, this wasn't that big of a deal, but still.

ANYWAYS, for God's sake help me and all of you to stay away from facebook.

How can we do it? How can we unite against facebook??? I need RADICAL help.

Block the website using your HOSTS file on your computer. You can look up on Google how to do this and it's quite simple. I've blocked it on my work and home computer so that I'm not tempted to look at his profile!

i don't think you should take #3 so seriously.

i think you REALLY need to stop breaking into other people's accounts. i have no idea why they give you passwords, but clearly, they shouldn't be.

i think you'll have to exercise some self-restraint and not go to these peoples' sites. if you're on facebook, then only go to your friends' pages and not to exes or whatever. kind of the same way a person on a diet has to avoid cake at parties.

annie24 - I'm not breaking into my friend's account, we all have eachother's password. She called me and said, guess who added me on facebook, you can go check her profile if you want!

It's been 9 months that I've been DEAD curious to see this.

Am I really the last person on the planet not to have a Facebook account? What ever shall I do with the extra eight hours a day that I'm not surfing Facebook like everyone else? (Special prize to the first smartass who says "come to ENA"

).

**annie24** · 11-03-2009, 06:53 PM

why they heck do you all have each others' passwords? i don't have anyone's password nor do i give mine out.

If I lived in Brazil, I'd be out dancing with all the fine Brazilian women rather than checking my facebook.

Yes, get off that site...go out and dance.

brazilgirl21 · 11-03-2009, 06:57 PM

I have no idea, me and my friends are really close I guess. I have people they want to see, they have people I want to see, etc... They delete their ex, but I'm friends with them and so forth.

As for dancing, I go dancing on the weekends. But what should I do on my 9 hour work shift? Facebook!!!!!

**annie24** · 11-03-2009, 07:00 PM

maybe on your work computer, you should block facebook?

I agree with Annie. You have become a facebook stalker and I think you are reading too much into what people say on there rather than sticking to reality.
