I tend to use my avatar for my pages. I love what it depicts. A beach bum and that’s pretty much me. Someone that wanders in mind and body .
Yesterday I had a FB message from someone I know. I asked how did he find me? He replied I just popped up.
Then I remembered I’d just changed my profile photo to a headshot. So of course he recognised me.
I’m still undecided whether I should add him or not. He’s a gentle soul yet outwardly he doesn’t look it. Tattoos everywhere .
Part of me doesn’t give a hoot what people thinks. Part of me is worried as I don’t tend to add people much to my FB only friends and family. Plus my parents are on there and ummmm they might have a heart attack as to the company I keep.
But then where does one draws the line ? when it comes to internet acquired acquaintances ?
I know he’s harmless just looks like a thug. I know because I’m good at sussing people out.
One thing though that nightmare did cross my mind..
Social media is such a landmine of issues (offending people, etc.). I took myself off of FB last year around this time and took a one-year sabbatical from it. Now that year is coming up, and so for the sake of keeping mostly familial relationships, I will get back on it. But I learned a few things over the last year — there’s more to life than FB! – Marty

I’m thinking of doing the same . Keep contacts for the sake on contacts and not post anything . Getting tired of FB.

I took a break from facebook a year ago and it was so nice but I missed out on a lot of friends and family news that seemed to only get shared on there! haha. I have pretty much steered clear of it the past month or so, mainly to keep as much drama out of my life as possible during this time.

you don’t need drama whilst you’re doing it tough.
