How can a website cause so many social problems with people is something I might write a book about someday.

Anyways I tell people do not send me a message, especially if its something important on FB mainly because I check my FB page once, maybe twice a week. During this past summer it was more like once a month. If you really want to know how this person is doing, or what people are up to as a friendly gesture, just pick up the phone and call them.

I will add though that it is amazing the looks I get when I tell people to call me, instead of texting or leaving me a message on FB.

Old thread or not, I thought I'd respond since I've been doing this lately....not answering.

I feel bad, but at the same time, I just don't have it in me to fake being okay when in reality I'm dealing with depression. It's hard for me, sometimes, to even say simply, "I'm good, how are you?" And I don't want to burden my friends or aquaintances with my depression.

Thankfully I've learned not to even click on a message unless I'm ready to respond, so people don't think I'm ignoring them, when in fact I am.
