Facebook also lets me see all those *** from highschool that loved to torment me for no reason. It lets me see how miserable they are with their 3 kids and no baby daddy and a ***job while they can see me living comfortably with the same guy for 5 years. Love it.
I live in a small town, so I don't really need Facebook to see most of this. I see them in public often enough. Seeing people who made fun of me for being weird or too thin or whatever they were making fun of me for... Are now missing all their teeth due to drug addictions, have gained tons of weight from too much beer or too many kids (or both!), or have just been hit with the ugly stick one way or another. I may not have a wonderful job, but my quality of life is still better. Ironically, at the same time, my friends and I have gotten better looking!
Sounds about right. When i finished with boot camp i tried to visit some old friends. When i got to my "Friends" place a person was there that i didnt get along with in high school. I thought "Meh what ever, i'm more mature now surely i can deal with it." Well i knocked on the front door, they ignored me. I knocked again, louder, ignored again. Took alot of pounding on the door before my so called friend answered and appologized saying that because the guy didnt like me, my "friend" wouldnt let me in. I said "Well ok then, i was just going to be civil and try to be polite to everyone but if you guys still want to be children then i had best move on, here is the gift i had gotten you while i was in chicago. Good bye."
Between that and the fact that the majority of people i know from when i grew up are still very immature, living with mommy or daddy, or are just acting a fool, i kind of stopped going home all together except for a few visits for the family for a day or two.
