Facebook isn't as friend centered as it used to be. Now, instead of talking TO each other, more and more people just blurt out their lives and interests, hoping someone is listening. Maybe we are all just a bit too self centered, and it's hard not to be, amirite?

And I probably should have worded it "It gets people to talk", not argue.

For me, Facebook is all about bragging. 'I've got TWO boyfriends!' 'Well I have a bigger house!' 'But I'm in 10 extra-curriculars!' 'I'm taking ALL honors classes.' 'I made varsity!' and really stupid pictures with even stupider captions in stupidly titled albums. 'We're fre$hmennn and we ain't takingggg a seatttt!'

yeah, I tend to be a bit more serious than most amiriters. Everything seems to be a witty joke on this website

Have you ever started eating an ice cream cone, but the ice cream portion would fall into your hand, and you would try and squish the ice cream back into the cone?

I think it's less about being selfish and more about needing someone, anyone, to validate that you are a person worth noticing. That's what is so compelling about Amirite: your statistics are a way of quantifying your value and uniqueness.

Earlier this summer, I found myself getting extremely depressed because my friends would never interact with me on Facebook, so I deleted my account for aboot a month or so. Then I spent too much time on amirite, and people took notice of my comment "night-walking". When I came back to Facebook, some of my friends were like "OH WoW! You're back! Never leave facebook like that again, or I'll forget you or something!" I think I have a Facebook because I am afraid of being forgotten...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

oooh, ur smart (not sarcastic, even though it sounds like it).

by Anonymous 12 years ago

My statistics on here are all negative which makes me unique, right?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

i downvoted you to encourage your uniqueness :)

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's basically encouraging you to be like that. I'm not saying I'm okay with it, but it's what I feel is the truth.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

its funny that you say that, i;m always there just seeing if anyone wrote to me instead of checking everyone else, then I realize that if i want someone to comment on me, I have to comment on them.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

ditto. We are all wrapped up in our own little worlds, and who can blame us? The whole of life's experience is filtered through one's mind and one's body. Considering other people over yourself is truly a discipline and does not come naturally at all

The Laws if Facebook: 1. You must post pictures of yourself either "having fun" with friends or in the bathroom mirror (and the odd occasion where you can do both.) 2. You must never and I repeat NEVER use proper grammar or capitalization. EVER. 3. You need to post at least one status everyday with song lyrics. 4. It is necessary to attempt at sounding deep, but tragically fail. 5. You need tell everyone how you are a photogropher after you take a black and white picture. 6. You have to complain about the new Facebook layout. 7. Last, and most importantly, you must ALWAYS have more friends than everyone else. It doesn't matter if you know them JUST.SEND.THEM.A.REQUEST. Follow these rules and you are sure to fit in on Facebook!

Is it weird that my facebook is pretty much the opposite of that? Maybe that's why I've only got like 50 friends (most of which are family)...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

So is mine, but that is what the majority of people do on Facebook.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

That sucks. None (or maybe 2) of my friends are like that.

I'll admit... I am self-centered. I gain attention through constant status updates and amirite commenting.

You are not the only one. I'll admit it about myself as well.

I usually remove those people from my news feed. I only update my status if I have something interesting or witty to say. I usually use facebook to interact with my friends. Who cares what other people do?
