I have been on and off Facebook so many times the last few years, I have lost count. I took an occasional Facebreak, but I first got blown off in December 2013. I was pleading for help from people I thought were friends, and one I most trusted told me basically to shut-up.

I was blown away. I did not understand what was happening. I still don’t totally. But I have been unsuccessful at staying back on FB ever since. There is more to fear, than to gain. I am on right now, but I don’t visit often… mostly just to post about a new Blog.

I enjoyed the banter… but that aspect is gone now. Most people I was FB friends with back in better times, won’t respond to friend requests the last time I tried – in June. This time I have sent out few requests… though I was surprised at not hearing back from some.

There have been a few friends that have always come back. that makes me smile. J

Even so, it is not the same…

That was, and still probably is, the only avenue I have for human interaction. The Blog is mostly one-way. So I have come back to try FB from time to time. It just never feels safe, or right anymore.

It is self-perpetuating… the more I go on and off, the fewer people show any interest. That makes sense to me. They are tired of dealing with it – so am I. Maybe that’s it… I don’t know. But whatever it is, Facebook draws me like a fly to a lamp. I try again…
