I had the exact opposite experience with Facebook. All the politics, religion, personal exhibitionism, and hypocrisy made my blood boil. I felt like I saw everyone becoming trashy reality show caricatures of themselves. I saw how addicted to Facebook people came. And how it actually ended up hindering in-person human interaction. Folks ignoring those who were physically in the same room with just to update/check facebook- others having little to say to each other in person because they relay their entire lives on Facebook. I got rid of Facebook about a year ago and it's honestly been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. It just caused so much stress in my life.
