How do you use Social Media / Forums?

[Tsar]

What I've found strange is that Facebook has actually made friends lazier than ever. I've made a point of removing my birthday date from Facebook because that way, only my actual friends will congratulate me on my birthday. Facebook has also caused friends to stop calling to hear how it's going, because it's so easy to open an app and read about it in 2 seconds. But you completely lose touch with the actual person on the other side.

And have you seen the reaction when you remove someone as a friend on Facebook? It's like you've walked over to their house and kicked their cat!

I'm with you guys. Creating a much larger distance between yourself and social media is definitely the way to go. The only reason why I'm still on Facebook is to stay in touch with my dad who is overseas. If it wasn't for that, I'd be off it in a heartbeat.

I did the same and only three people said happy bday :O

Happy birthday!

Hahahaha

I honestly don't mind if people forget my birthday. It's just another day afterall. There are other ways to tell if people are interested in you besides seeing if they remembered your birthday, even if you don't know them personally.

I use facebook exactly as I would (for lack of a better term) use myself in a group of people.
Im no actor or social chameleon. I am myself at all times in all forms of communication.

+1 to you sir.

The most valuable lesson of all, that I've learned out of everything; is to know when to keep quiet.

I've always fallen in the trap of "commenting because I can". To me, that's my biggest challenge with online communications.
