lack of facebook profile = psychopath now... a daily mail classic

It's wonderful, isn't it? Sometimes I have to check that I'm not on a parody site.

Here's everything else you need to avoid.


Don't worry though, you can tackle all these terrible cancer-causing things with garlic, wine, yoghurt and shark blood!

But you do have to ask yourself, why don't people have Facebook? It is a bit odd. It shouldn't be, I completely get that the world is a ****ed up place, but the point is not having Facebook is odd and therefore human logic dictates that it is bad.

Why do people still read Daily Mail? Such a compilation of ****.

Oh dear Lord what a bloody farce!

Although to be fair to them, they didn't say not being on Facebook causes cancer. They're growing up.

What a load of crap. I had Facebook for years but deactivated my account a few months ago because I hate how intrusive it is and I don't care about people's BS! I have proper friends in real life and don't feel the need to prove a point about how "oh I'm so popular" to 500 "friends" every time I go for a night out!

I suppose that makes me a psychopath...

It isn't a load of crap that human nature causes us to feel negatively to those who are significantly different from us. We don't like weirdness, it scares us because we don't understand it.

Listen, I'm not an idiot, I don't make the rules of this bull **** society we live in, I just understand them. And the bottom line is, if you don't have Facebook, many people will think you are weird. People don't ask these days "do you have Facebook?", it's just generally socially expected that you have it.

Why do you think people look at me weirdly when I eat the insects that crawl on me? There's nothing wrong with that, it's extra protein. But it's weird, and people will judge me for it, just like they will judge you for not having Facebook.

To be fair to them it is hilarious reading the comments section on their articles... some of the peoples comments

You wear a fanny pack AND read the Daily Mail; it's all a bit sus if you ask me
I do actually agree with you though, especially when they get really passionate

You may laugh, but the sentiment expressed in that article is actually quite widely held. When I meet girls and eventually they want to "add" me and stuff, if I claim to not use FB then that's the last I hear from them. Some have told me it's "creepy" and so on, and asked what I'm trying to hide. It's similar if you don't have or use a mobile phone. Lots of these things are so widespread today that not using them does actually make you stand out as a bit of a weirdo and the fact that you're unwilling to join in with the majority's ways will always keep you pushed to the edges. It's reasonable, I suppose. You have to actively join in, or be seen as an outsider and will be excluded and viewed with suspicion.
