Is Facebook envy making you miserable?

Dumped my twitter & FB accounts 2 months ago. Was strange at first for about a week or two - living more in the "now" these days. Use G+ a bit and easy to control who sees what. Probably missing a few events but people seem to call or text or email me if they need something. Try it ..…

Seeing friends lapping up waist deep powder in the Mtns while stuck slaving in the bleak grey city coal mines, does cause a bit of envy at times!

Not if you love the people posting and are simply happy for their happiness and achievements...but I dare say I can see a bunch of narcissts and conceited group of people which all jn all I find it easy to ignore! FB is for fun, I don't take it seriously nor personally.

I signed up for FB in 2005 (ish) and lasted a couple of months before I quickly figured it was the most facile and vaccuous thing I had ever engaged in. I deleted my account after about 6 months and have not once, ever regretted it.

I feel no envy.

I only really use FB for linking to my model making blogs... I find it quite boring most of the time. As for envy... seriously? I go to Japan every year, why should seeing other people's photos make me jealous?

Seek happiness in your own life, in your own way. With or without Facebook. I post something about every 6 months on FB. Facebook doesn't bother me, but doesn't particularly interest me either. I prefer people who have a bit of mystery about them, not people who are eager to spill the beans on literally everything. I do NOT want to know what they had for lunch Monday to Friday (I mean, come on, who really cares?) but if they did go to some cool event, then I might look at the photos.

When we start feeling sorry for ourselves or 'envy' like in this case, we are taking Facebook a little too seriously I believe. It's like we are feeling a sense of 'entitlement' or something.
