How Do I Get Off Facebook

[Dancer]

Delete, unsubscribe? Tried it and I think it sucks. Need help.

No idea.
The question is why were you on there to begin with?
I wouldn't touch it.

I don't know. All I know is I want off.

Sorry, I have been on there for many years and have learned what part of it I enjoy. People who continually post stuff from other sites get unfollowed by me. All I really care to see most of the time are personal picture and comments. I like funny stuff sometimes too.

That being said you can deactivate your page. It's not that hard.

Tell me how please.

Facebook accused of tracking all users even if they delete accounts, ask never to be followed

Thanks all, I think I was successful in deleting the whole thing.

But you're going to miss out on all those recipes . . .

I'm all for freedom, but somehow I can't help thinking the world would be a better place without facebook.

Somehow my 10 year old daughter was allowed to get her own facebook page. She started doing things she's been told not to so I deactivated her page which was going to be a problem anyway.

GFB, it was just too weird for me. I do not understand how people can get so wrapped up in it. If I am not here for a day or two, I don't get messages asking where have I been. I still miss the original DD, but this is the only place I belong to and consider all here good folk.

People can get into their own existence a little too much.

And, thanks to Facebook, they can post fantasy lives that seem to be there to make othesr envious of their supposed great happiness, perfection, and fulfillment. Nothing like FB to prove that fairy tales come true.

I have never deleted a personal account. Have deleted some business accounts for clients. Went into settings, bottom of the page, and deleted. 'Course they gave me something like 14 days to "change my mind". After that the stupid pages were still live. The second time I deleted them they seemed to actually delete.

Bob deleted his FB account a couple of years ago. He seems to have been successful.

I enjoy facebook because of the grandkids and relatives who live all over the U.S. I'm grateful that I can keep up with cousins I love. Who has time to write letters or send individual e-mails? I've ignored many friend requests, but have made friends with people I otherwise wouldn't have met. I certainly don't use my phone to check it all day long. In fact, I never use the phone for facebook. It's my "everything done that I wanted to get done" time. It's probably different if you have relatives nearby. The only blood relative I have in Texas (other than my kids) is a second cousin who lives in Keller. I'm the only one he has, too. Yes, I've even made some of the recipes! I keep in touch with the wives of wounded that I met at Brook Army Medical Center. I really want to know how they're doing. One couple had a home built for them in Gunter. She developed non-Hodgins lymphoma. I love her and she could communicate with us daily when she had stem cell therapy. Can you imagine how isolated she'd have been without facebook? Her husband got shingles about the 3rd day and he was rushed out of there. Fortunately her daughter is a flight attendant for SWA and they immediately took her off the schedule so she could be her mom's "attendant". This is why I do facebook.

I agree with you Ann....I enjoy keeping up with family and friends on Facebook. I can find out pretty easily how someone is doing healthwise that I'm really not to close to but want to keep up with (if that makes sense). And I love to see how people's children have grown. That being said, I find it very interesting how some people I know personally portray themselves on Facebook. There are some that try to look religious that never went to church or even talked about God to me in person. But there they are sharing for all to see on Facebook. But it doesn't bother me enough to unfriend them or leave Facebook.

I have instructed my Family to shoot me, and put me out of my misery if I ever open a Facebook account.

[millergrovesue]

Yeah, Croc, lots of frilly false fronts on Facebook. I just don't want quantity in friends, which seem to be what a lot of people strive for. I want people I truly like hearing from as friends so have ignored many friend requests. Therefore I don't have very many. A goodly number of people I'd like to have as friends don't do FB. I've unfriended only a couple - One for continuous liberal political posts filled with vile hateful comments about conservatives. Then when I or anyone else responded labeling me/us mean, selfish, ignorant, etc.

The other I unfriended for posting almost daily pix of herself (many clearly taken while she was driving for goodness sakes!!!) and posting almost daily pix of meals she had prepared that looked like they contained about 5,000 calories each. Yes, fried chicken, corn, mac and cheese, rolls, and cobbler constitute a healthy meal in some families.........and this is a woman with a master's degree............clearly not in nutrition. Her entire family is morbidly obese. It was dump her or completely separate my tongue from the remainder of my mouth by continually biting it.

Oh, and then there was the ultra conservative who was a vile mouthed supposedly religious racist nutjob who posted hateful links and took pix of her tattoos and biker buddies all drinking together. Huh??
