Hello all-

I typically have no issues with Facebook but when I’m feeling down it makes feel so much worse. To see all the happy n good times . Anyone else relate ?? It’s like i wanna stay away but it’s so habitual. And sometimes there’s a funny joke or meme that really does make me chuckle and I’ll be grateful. Guess I’m looking for another spot for interaction but without the “fake” or only posting the “ good”?

I don’t know if that makes sense?

Thanks
Oranged

Hi Oranged,

Yes, I can relate.
There was a time when I deactivated my Facebook account for more than a year because it made me feel awful every time I scrolled through.

Social media has a big impact in our lives.
I do admit that some of the meme's are funny, and it can cheer us up, but there is also negative as well.

I came across a site called bored. One day I googled bored, and found a website bored.com with games and jokes. It is interesting. You can check it out.
Sometimes I just Google random things like funny jokes, inspirational quotes, games, etc. I think this is a good way to discover things online.
