Maybe it's the grass is greener thing but I feel like there must be lots going on over there (i.e. in fb) but on purpose I've cut myself off from it.
I'm happy about doing that - cutting myself off on principles - because it's obvious that fb are NSA snoopers - but feel I've excluded myself from lots of great things. I hope it's just an illusion, but so many events etc are publicised through fb and I can't join in now. It's like I don't exist - a bit. It's like there's a disco going on (this shows my age!) and everyone's in there having a great time, and I'm standing outside alone with a bottle of shandy. dave On 30 September 2014 22:14, ahanon <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Feeling isolated is kind of weird when, without Facebook, et al. you > > have already more information resources and social contacts than anyone > > in the history of the planet. > > > > -Joel > > Hi, > > Not sure Exactly what Dave means by isolated. > > What did you mean? > > In my personal experience, fb linked isolation is to do with activities > that people might restrict to fb only.
