I'm probably just babbling but here's what it was like for me and what i think about it.

I think i just wanted to use it to show off... And then i eventually thought what's the point of getting likes on fb. I didn't find it translate into enjoying my life more or making my life better.

I thought maybe it's useful as a record of experience. But then i just kept my photos on my phone and share them in real life by handing the phone.

I don't think it's impossible to use fb in a way that works. Maybe there needs to be a class... How to use fb like a pro. I think messenger is more useful. But then i just used hangouts since its no setup required. I didn't get enough out of fb to be worth time.

Mostly i feel happier chatting on the phone or face to face irl, instead of texting or scrolling newsfeed.

I think in an ideal world fb would be a great tool to connect. But the world is not ideal. People are not ideal. Fb is not ideal.
