You all know him, you all hate him. He’s the guy who updates his facebook profile every 15 minutes. She’s the friend-mongerer who befriends anything with two legs. He’s the one who spends over 50 hours on facebook viewing pictures and posting comments. She’s the girl that sends those stupid “friend’s test” to people who don’t even know her. He’s the idiot that befriends celebrities. And she’s the girl that has 3,000 friends and only actually talks to three people.
So how do you fight these guys? What can you do to free them from their bonds of facebook. If you’re interested, here’s five practical bits of advice that you can follow:
1. Don’t accept their friendship- By “being rude,” you are actually helping them; (also if you have already agreed to be one of their thousand friend, just delete their friendship).
2. Never take one of those stupid friend’s test, “or click to view an unlocked secret Question, etc.
3. Never comment on their facebook profile, on any of their pictures, or on their comments. If no one ever replies to anything that they do, they “virtual presence will disappear.”
4. Talk to them in person. This step is going to take a lot of courage, you’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone and actually talk to them. WARNING: this could be awkward, some of these people haven’t talked to a real human in days.
5. Include them in your group of friends and have them delete their facebook account. This step will also require sacrifice, but I believe that you can do it, if you are really serious about fighting this desease. And yes they must delete thei facebook account; facebook itself is not bad, but the only way to deal with an opening, festering sore is to amputate.
