I've just made a new Facebook, so if you get a friend request from Vivienne SanDiego with a buddy Jesus avatar, don't be surprised.
(Best way to still use FB and not have family drama).
How has Facebook affected your offline relationships?
It hasn't. :3
I am glad you posted this somewhere because I was like "Who the heck"
It's never affected my offline relationships until recently with that one family
It hasn't really affected my offline relationships. My conservative family is bothered by my rampant liberalism, but I don't care.
What is your deal, woman.
I don't post my real name on forums because googleable spelling (my natural SEO skillz are a curse), but I follow the EoFF page and utilise Dragonborn Fluttershy as a pic. Same with Twitter :P
FB hasn't particularly been a negative for me (apart from them collecting and selling all my personal data and habits) it's enabled me as a combination of shy, introverted and antisocial (not sure of the ratio) to have a bit of a social connection with people from work, a few old classmates, and a relative. It can get a little weird sometimes as I think we tend to normally show different facets of our personalities and interests to different people as is relevant - and with FB end up geeking out on Final Fantasy and MLP and whatever in front of aunts and colleagues and sharing some work crap with internet buddies :P It's also sort of liberating, though, as you eventually stop worrying about all that and just be yourself and if things are irrelevant to certain people, tough.
It can be a pain sometimes in that it has IM now (which accepts messages even when you have it turned off, creating the same expectations with the sender) and I'm not good with IM. I don't like being tied down for hours at a time talking to one person (there's my antisocial side), but am too polite to easily take my leave without making up an excuse and then having to follow the 'story' through..
Good lord MySpace and LiveJournal didn't even exist when I was 15 you guys make me feel old
Facebook has not affected my offline relationships; the only issues are that sometimes internet/EoFF people like to say lewd things in my comments and then I have to quickly go edit the status to a filtered one so my grandparents and little sisters don't see them THANKS GUYS*, but other than that I'm good. I don't even post much and 90% of what I post are quizzes anyway.
* first person to rush over and do this as a joke is getting unfriended
I've had girlfriends be really jealous and cause drama. I'll like a picture or a post from one of my old calls mates and they'd get all pissy and accuse me of cheating or something.
I deleted my Facebook like 3/4 months ago, mainly I was just really unhappy, and it actually annoyed me seeing people being happy and living their lives. Not that I didn't want them to! It just made me jealous and sit there feeling sorry for myself. I'm looking forward to making a new one at some point when my new life can publicly begin
Where in the world is Vivienne SanDiego?
Facebook hasn't affected my offline relationships. Then again, the family members I have on there aren't as crazy as some of the others I know. Thankfully, the craziest ones don't use Facebook.
I make it a rule never to have family on Facebook. Many of them do, I just ignore them. I think one of them was blocked at one point in time.
So Jinx, what was the inspiration behind the name?
What happened online stays online.
Oh, that was you earlier? Sorry I didn't accept, though the point is moot now. I wasn't sure who you were and was planning to ask Sarah since she was a mutual friend at the time, but I got sidetracked and forgot.
