Was that guy sure? Of an initial email content? Even though yeah ...it's just hard to believe how many boys are dumb this way when young.

PS I hate Facebook. But it's a way to check on people you've no other way to check on;and they have groups that might come handy.

It's completely failing platform for writing and discussing, imo. Wrong format, completely. And very annoying software. also I think they sold everybody and everything they could. Maybe that's not unique to them, I don;t know. I don't use too much social media since forums have died.

And I see it as general problem of Internet...you exist as long as you're online. With exceptions of course. After all, I did found some of my most important relationships online. Maybe I'd never meet them otherwise -but I'm a bit of a fatalist here....maybe I would. Who knows.

Thank you for the post, Thalia

Hi Thalia, I enjoyed this thoughtful post. Never an avid consumer of Facebook myself, I finally deleted my account about 4 years ago in response to an *actual* stalker. I've never looked back. Even though social media gives us a sense of staying connected with distant family and friends, the reality is that this connection is superficial at best and becomes an excuse for not making the time for more meaningful and intentional interactions--like a phone call or even...gasp!...writing a letter.
