Facebook

I do wonder how many others have found themselves in a similar predicament.

I've had periods of time when I used video games as a "drug" to numb me up emotionally. I totally get where you're coming from. If giving up FB is what you need to do for yourself, good for you for recognizing that.

No games, one group which is my mountain bike team. I refused for a long time but find it is the best way to keep up with who wants to ride or whatever. I have my privacy settings set super high because I agree FB doesn't respect it. I only check in if I am at my gym since they gave me a free membership. It ironically has strengthened several of my biking friendships. I guess it may be that many of them are young and have been using it since college, I graduated a year or so before it launched. I didn't get an account until November when I got a biking sponsor. It is handy but I find my Blackberry is causing me to use it more. Work blocks it because some people couldn't control their usage.

No games, no groups - I check it once-twice a day but rarely spend more than 10 minutes on it if that long. It LOOKS like I am on there longer as I generally leave the tab open with it when my browser is open. I use it to post little cycling updates or links that I like - I won't get any more personal than that.

I spend FAR more time on TE - and I really need to pull back on that at work
