Fucking myspace.... And facebook. DAMN IT.
So I am 23.... I am in college and almost done... and I have friends that are retarded. OK, so I love my friend to death. Lets call her Jane. Jane dates this guy named John. John is a lazy mooching alkie who is taking advantage of my friend, who has never really had a boyfriend. So I try to do the right thing and tell her whats up. She says thanks but she wants to try to make it work. So I do my best to stand by her. I talk to him, and tell him he needs to get his shit together or he is going to lose her. He says whatever.SOOOO.... a few months go by and she is in LOVVEEEE. So after she tells him how much she loves him, they break up. So who is there to pick up the pieces? ME. No problem. I am there for her. shes my friend and I love her to death. but what are the FIRST words out of her mouth????
"HE TOOK ME OFF HIS TOP 8 ON MYSPACE, HE CHANGED HIS STATUS TO SINGLE, HE DELETED MY COMMENTS, AND HE TOOK ME OFF HIS FACEBOOK!!!! HE EVEN REMOVED ALL THE POKES!!!!!!!"
and my brain came to a SCREECHING halt. WTF has society come to??? honestly??? We are mature grown people who should not be dictating out happiness by peoples status on a social networking website. You should be concerned about much bigger things than that. Like the fact that you are FLUNKING out of school because you chose to drink 6 nights a week with your fucking retarded ex boyfriend. I still love you Jane.... but lets not be redicilious about this.
We are addicts to Myspace and Facebook. This is a sad sad world we live in.

Yeah, but that's how we define ourselves nowadays... people rarely talk about what is going on in their life so showing it on their facebook is the only way.

Facebook inbox messages are on a variable ratio schedule of psychology. It's the same as gambling... You pull a lever and see if you win. That's analogous to logging into facebook to see if you have a message.
It will never die out. People don't have enough distractions in their lives also. America is based on an "I want this immediately" type of life. All other countries aren't like that. For example, many overseas colleges make you wait months before you know your results on a test. I have my scores sometimes in under an hour... It really ruins the brain unless you're aware of what's going on.

I think you are the one who needs help. Hanging onto such a weak-minded girl is not smart.

You known her as a friend for quite some time. Sure, you don't want to abandon her and say "fine, go to hell and ruin your life", because that would feel wrong. The thing is, once someone has made a decision based on feeling or emotion, that's it, they become hell-bent on intent. Happens to a lot of people such as yourself wanting to say "told you so."
AS for Facebook or Myspace, #3 makes a good point. Too many people's lives revolve around being networked and connected be it internet or a cell phone. For me, internet is something to entertain me or find info, not to get involved in some popularity contest on Facebook.

As soon as people realize (if they ever do), that self-esteem comes only from within, then MySpace, Facebook , and all other social networking sites will die out.
Until then, find someone who has a life, preferably one not online.

I agree with 4, this chick sounds like she has some serious self-confidence issues. I mean, staying with a guy that stomps all over you and then being foremost concerned with the facebook crap?
I hope you are not secretly in love with this woman.

I disagree with 4. Everyone gets hurt, everyone talks about it, everyone has immature moments, everyone has something that is more important to them than it should be.
About the Web thing: This isn't about Myspace and Facebook. This is about her hurting. Before the FaceSpace Age, it would have been "He gave me all our pictures/my birthday presents to him/took his jacket back, ahhhhh!!!" Same thing, different time.

taking someone off a friends list isn't the end of the world. she should be upset about the break up and or how he initiated the break up.. not that her e-pokes and comments are no where to be seen.
