Hey,
I've a few facebook friends who i've known for a number of years. As i don't enjoy a life of any substance outside of my home, i get really jealous, and feel resentment towards various status updates of the people i'm meant to be friends with. Some friend, huh.
I see them enjoying life, going out, and posting pics of their awesome experiences, and here's me, struggling to talk about anything or going anywhere on a daily or weekly basis. It chokes me up. It really does. I do comment on their adventures etc, and sometimes i really do enjoy reading what they've been up to but then my green-eyed monster takes hold of me, and i have to take a time-out for a couple of days. I know it's a case of life goes on, and i definately know it's a case of, GET OVER IT IAN!!!!
I just need a life to speak of, and then i'll be able to join in. I'll be able to update my status with "On the bog before hitting the town. I can't wait to paint the pavements yellow!" *fetches mop* ;D

(hugs) Spinky I can relate to this as well. I do manage to get out of the house because I have children so I have to push myself to attend appointments and take care of the household. I don`t have a vehicle so getting around is a challenge. I have thought of just taking facebook off because it make me feel upset whenever I see old friends pictures and I see how well they are doing and how much fun they are having. My shyness always holds me back and I am not as far in life as most of them seem to be. It can be depressing, especially when no one ever comments on my statuses. Its like I`m invisible sometimes.

I guess this is a little bit of a useless opinion, but anyways. My theory is that if I don't post often, people think I must be doing something awesome. I only ever post if something REALLY exciting happens, and if people ask why I never post I say "I only post if I think it's worth posting." or something. But I get where you're coming from.

The thing about Facebook updates is that people tend to only show their best sides. They tend to use the perfect profile picture, they exaggerate the amount of fun they had and they don't mention the tedious or boring parts of their lives. So don't feel too bad. you should however try and get out more though. Living life through a other peoples updates is not the way its meant to be. And don't go out to impress others either. Go out and do stuff to learn more about youself(and you'll have some fun too).

@ additive. Thanks for the encouragement I totally agree with your "people and their best sides" opinion. @ oopqoo. I hardly post status updates. People don't ask me why. If i had a full blown life, i'd take the same stance of updating when i had/have something of interest to say. @ Amanda. I do feel invisible as well. Saying that, i received some really unexpected birthday messages last Thursday, and i was taken aback by the love people have for me as i hardly chat with some of them. It was really comforting, you know.
