Facebook is not true interaction and can be overly used by people who show signs of social anxiety. I recently broke up from a 5 year relationship, so I have lost contact with a large group of mutual friends. I also lost alot of my self esteme in the process. I have spent alot of my time on facebook during this time and its been excessive. I have been using as a false sense of security that I have people around when really, the cyber world...is not the REAL world. I felt safe interacting with people from the comfort of my own home when that is not a healthy thing. I always felt so down reading and living vicariously through other ppls social lives...pretty sad hey. But I know im not the only one that has gone through this. I have stepped away and outta my house and now push my self to engage in face to face sociaising. Life has been great. Its so easy for some to be sucked into this trap. Eeeek. Its scary where the future of our generation is headed. Human connection is important for stability, growth and enjoyment in our lives... you cant get meaningfull connection through a computer screen. I have vowed only to use facebook to communicate with family and friends who live to far away to visit. This is a very interesting article.
