Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath? Some employers and psychologists say it's 'suspicious' | Mail Online



Check this bullcrap out. It's appalling.

Makes me think of this, even if the generations fit more with the article.

Well, the jig is up. I don't go on Facebook, so obviously I must be planning the next mass killing spree in my local area.

I have a lot of people on my Facebook, but I barely go online. What does that make me?

All it takes is one mass murderer with a Facebook profile to turn heads the other way. Facebook will then turn people into social liabilities, because surely it encourages stalking and preying on strangers. Pop psychology is not to be taken seriously.

So just because I'm not doing what everyone else is makes me a psychopath? You know who else took a similar stance? The Catholic Church. During the Inquisition. Look at how that turned out...

I deleted my account recently. Guess I'm on my way to a killing spree.

I never feel like using the IM option, yet as a type 5, I tend to just collectively observe random things about friends to keep up to date with happenings so it kind of makes it one sided on my part. The fact that I remain invisible and don't post much on people's walls could make everyone question my use of it, but it's just peaceful since I dwell in the past frequently and enjoy the different futures my friends end up forming in their photo albums or past updates.

Now just because most of the people on facebook have status updates proclaiming first world problems... doesn't mean the rest of us have to follow.

Also, two of my close friends just deleted their accounts one day a few years back and are even more introverted than I am. They have so much introspection, they tend to question everything the general public does and then retreat away from it. Now that they've done that though in this generation, it makes it difficult for other personality types to connect with them.

Society has hyped cyber contact up so much that simple texts are not enough anymore, and that a photo, website link sharing, and video information stream of a person they "friend" will satisfy their thirst for a greater connection. Some of us also don't need that much contact with others. I don't really like where the media is going with recent facebook and twitter commercials since the Olympics started, and they are just trying to make older people join out of peer pressure and feel guilty for not having one.

Also, some of the context of use the media displays when advertising it is just stupid. They sometimes represent the unaware, brainwashed tech noobie that's just doing it because it's the current trend, and the stereotypes that they use are just horrendous.

Ok, I think I'm done ranting for now.

[Le Beau Coeur]

That's disappointing.
