I haven't logged into my facebook account in at least five years and I don't miss it one bit. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when I received an enthusiastic happy birthday from a girl I went to high school with. She was a couple of years older than me and I realized she had never spoken a single word to me in real life. For some reason this seemed so wrong and twisted and ended up being the straw that broke the social media camel's back for me. If I want to speak with someone, I just reach out directly now.

Perhaps she couldn't muster the courage to talk to you the entire high school, and when she finally tried to connect with you, you blew her away. The poor girl must be devastated... Seriously, though, this happens to many people on facebook. A devaluation of interpersonal relationships.

No disrespect intended but why would you add a friend you've never spoken to??
