Facebook Addiction

I need to quit.

How?



It's just as bad as my checking-email-behavior.

I check my email like every 5 minutes when I'm online and have this urge to check it again right after class during breaks.

It's usually something like:

Email-Facebook-Schoolwebsitew/PersonalAccount-SchoolEmail-Email-Facebook-....etc....

not including TS

    I feel ya!!!!!!!

    I got my friend to change my password... It's been 3 weeks without it! and it feels GREAAAAAAAAAT......

    The first couple of days it was killing me but I realized how busy I am or should be...

    Gosh, it screwed me over for the fall semester........

    I'd do "homework" in front of my computer. I would never really start anything until 2 a.m.
    The whole time I would be facebooking.

    T.T So addicting.

    Or at least it use to be!

    im the same way, facebook like every 5 or so minutes, man, its crzy, haha if we all had each other on facebook then we could all just laugh at each other (i mean not in a mean way but like 'heyy you're on and im on' you know?) anyways if you dont im just trying to make a stupid joke, im addicted, and its not fair!!!

    i don't go on facebook very much. i dont know, i was addicted and then all of a sudden i just stopped going on it as much..

    haha i think Tinana's plan is the best. my friend had her friend change her password so she wouldn't get to go on...i think that's pretty effective

    i thought if you don't access your email for like 2 weeks it cancels your account?

    Wow, I don't understand how you guys are getting addicted to Facebook? I check it every few days or so just to see what's up, but I can't find a way to spend more than five minutes on there each time!

    What exactly is it that you do that takes up so much time?

    Hotmail cancels your account after 40 days.

    A better idea is to get Gmail and then download Thunderbird. You can also get Thunderbird to check your school email too. It's nice to be alerted as soon as you have an email!

    For me, Facebook only becomes addictive when schoolwork starts to pick up. How convenient! During winter break I went on only once a day (like zomg I know)

    That wasn't smart, I hope you find time to study for exams

    When I first got facebook I was on there alll the time just finding random people and tagging their walls like a madman. Fun stuff but realllly distracting. Join the group " Fuck you facebook, I'm trying to do my homework" its growing pretty huge so I guess a lot of people are in the same boat lol
