Facebook

I have a Facebook profile, but I don’t spend that much time on it. I don’t really expect people to comment on my status, pics, etc., but it’s always nice when they do. I don’t want to commit Facebook suicide. Deleting your profile would be an admission that you can’t handle it. If a person spends all day on Facebook or likes the attention it gives them, deleting their profile isn’t going to do anything. Facebook didn’t create the concept of self promotion, it’s a human trait. If I committed Facebook suicide I’d lose contact with so many people and only gain an extra hour or two of free time a week, which I would probably spend watching TV. The problem isn’t Facebook; Facebook is cool. The problem is people have faults that can be highlighted by FB. If you are an “attention whore” deleting your FB profile won’t change that.
