Going on facebook is depressing. I hate seeing all the people who still live in my hometown and hang out together. It makes me jealous! Every time I get on there and see that someone I graduated with is engaged, it just makes me want to stab my eyes out.
I worked from home for most of today and the lack of social interaction seriously sucks. Hopefully that explains my rage at these people I dont even talk to anymore. I love/hate facebook.
I hid myself from my highschool peeps on facebook. They can't find me. I don't look for them. I changed my name to be something they won't look for. And I made my page private. don't look at their page and don't let them look at yours. if you're "friends" with them and you can't unfriend them without drama, simply hide their updates.

Aw. Sometimes I feel like that too. It's bittersweet. I'm glad I don't live in my hometown anymore, but sometimes I miss the familiarity. I have a few friends still living there, in addition to the acquaintances. And when people get engaged and married... It just makes me feel way behind because I don't even have a CRUSH on anyone. Weh. The good news is you can just... avoid going onto Facebook. And hide people's updates, haha. |
You realize that all of these old highschool buddies could be looking at YOUR facebook page and thinking "wow I'm so jealous that she got out of here and is in a new city and having a fun and interesting life that doesn't revolve around highschool anymore" I for one feel sorry for the people that have exhausted all the adventure in their life and so are having kids and weddings just because its the next thing to do. And I seriously think that people do that just because they don't know anything else exists. I figure I'll get there one day - but why rush? |
plan a fab. vacation with your best and take tons of pictures. Im sure all your hometown buddies will see that you've taken your life higher up than they have. Or just give your apartment a deep cleaning, rearrage or redecorate and take pics. They will all be jealous that you have your own place that you worked hard for and earned. Im one of those hometown people still and im really jealous that some people have their dream job and are doing something with themselves and have gone somewhere. I was starting to follow the root of marriage and wanting a family but that just cant happen yet, too soon. |
Thank you for the alternate perspectives : )
