7 Reasons I'm Deleting Facebook

These are the 7 reasons why I will be deleting my Facebook this weekend:

1. Friend request and invites from people you don't talk to in real life or you don't want on your Facebook.

2. Invasion of privacy. People checking on your profile that you wouldn't want to.

3. Unfriending people makes you a "BAD" person. Self explanatory.

4. You can't say what you really want to. Things may be misinterpreted, confrontations may be started, people may be hurt.

5. Bad content: People killing themselves, killing others, killing others, videos showing people dying.

6. People who send you friend request and don't talk to you. Defeats the purpose of "SOCIAL MEDIA."

7. Wasted time: Checking Facebook for likes and comments, checking up on others, checking for entertainment.

Here are some good articles on "how many close friends can you actually have?" Ultimately, this depends on your personal guidelines.

Let me know what you think. Feel free to like the video, comment, and subscribe.

I hate that Facebook has the 14 day thing for deleting..

[kevindavis]

I deleted mine cause I feel like if they where my, true friends they'll call me or visit me when they drive past my house saying oh I'm busy yet checking Facebook Instagram Snapchat Twitter throughout the day!! I feel like if those old school friends where meant to be in our future they wouldn't have lost contact with us Facebook is allusion make beleve friends where you have all these friends on your friends list yet non of them are beside you in real life!!

I feel less depressed and happier without Facebook

Awesome video!  You hit the nail right on the head and kept it respectful and open minded!  Leaving FB was the best thing I ever did for my mental health!

100 agree. My page has been deactivated for about a month now and I don’t miss it. It actually forces me to focus just on MY world and not fall into the comparison trap. My goal was to come back in a month but the more time passes, I’m thinking of deleting it all together

I deleted my facebook Easter Sunday (April 1st) 2018 and 6 days in I feel extremely happy and only wish I done it a lot sooner.

He's Right Ive had enough of Facebook

Every point you made is so true. It’s a true waste of time.

Great video! I have been wrestling with this for a long time. I have a Facebook for family and one for non family, co-workers, etc. I just didn’t want certain people snooping around knowing my business. I agree with all your reasons 100%. I read some articles about how social media can cause depression. I don’t need work checking up on me. I hate friend requests from certain people at work...makes things awkward. I have considered deleting my account for work people. Plus I hate all the political posts and abused animal posts.

Your video is pretty much 100% true in all respects. But seeing family & relatives pics over the seasons etc is hard to pass on.

I had a former supervisor friend request me while I still worked for that company. I did not accept it lol, it made for an uncomfortable situation for sure!

Tired of getting banned from toxic people and you cant have a real opinion without upsetting someone feelings and in turn have a 30 day ban

My friends on Facebook sucks . only woman like it now. Miss the days you can actually can talk to a girl in person

[desertclay]

And then there's the deactivation of facebook or unfriending of people aftermath.  You see them in public at a restaurant, bar, etc and they give you the cold shoulder.  I've gotten that A LOT because they think you hate them.  I've lost long term friends because of that and politics even if we somewhat agree because they didn't understand your point.

Very good points. I deleted mine for some of these same reason.

I watched this for reinforcement. I need to delete that time suck. Last time I did one of my 'friends' who used to be an actual friend but we never see each other anymore, texted me to see why I deleted FB.

[gingerisevil]

Omg the friend requests one!! I have over 300 friends from support groups. Ugh!!!

And yea I feel bad cause I accidentally deleted old friends and family requests. Thankfully they never said anything.

I deleted my Facebook account (along with Instagram, Twitter & Snapchat) about 2 weeks ago. FB out of all social media platforms is the most TOXIC (it brings out the worst in people) & it's such a huge waste of valuable time. I deleted FB cause it was destroying my Mental Health & for privacy/security concerns!

[derksenjenny]

i deleted mine for exact the same reason .
