Missing things is not the end of the world, since there is so much to do in life anyway. Missing out on things isn't the end of the world but what's the big deal of keeping up with what's going on? It's minimal effort to be signed up to Facebook so you can receive messages and event invites. > More importantly, I think the benefits of fb are greatly exaggerated. In Europe at least, it seems the de facto standard are whatsapp groups of close friends, and that's where things get arranged. Even wedding invites are generally sent out over emails nowadays. So if Facebook was the de facto standard for communication where you live you'd be OK with it? My point is just use what your friends are using to keep in touch and don't make a big deal about it. If Facebook, WhatsApp or whatever is having a large unhealthy influence on your life that's something you should fix about yourself.
