Most people use them to brag about how great their lives are or how interesting they are. I prefer to woman about sports, keep in touch w/ friends and talk about music and cooking/recipes. I recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon and have a ton of great pics and video from the helicopter tour but I don't see the point in posting them.
Can it lead to "friend envy"?The biggest laugh is the people who seem to think having 2000 "facebook friends" they have probably never met makes them more important. You have people actively adding people just for "trophies" to show off and say "look at how many friends I have!" it's a dick (or boob) measuring contest !
Guessing all your friends live in the same country and/or you don't have that many.This. Some people couldn't survive if you took their Facebook away.. I survive just fine not having to read all their egotistical BS.
Obviously you want to post things for people to see.. so you need that validation in your life.
I'm old school, text, ring people I want to meet face-to-face. Feck Candy Crush.
If that makes me a miserable git so what. I think it turns our children's minds to mush and in the future won't be good if they grow up with that level of ego of people "liking" whatever they post.. they will all turn into entitled arseholes who expect people to worship them.
Ha, you're the most frequent user on my feed, I've roughly 400 'friends' on Facebook just to give you an idea...all social media of some kind turns all people into attention seekers in one way or another, whether it's serial tweeters, facebook food picture publishers or purveyors of condemnation on every subject, and the forum dwellers who like to post or comment constantly.
Facebook wise I tend to post music, check in when pissed or for the attention seeking bit have an occassional rant. Only joined because someone put all their wedding plans on there only so had to join to get the info.

I think the G-man would agree with me too, 'top ranter' as he calls you!Have you got all their notifications swithched off ;-)
I post about 10 times a week hardly anything compared to some we know who post daily, and most mine are pub checkins news story links and as said occassonal rant.
