Most people are addicted to Facebook nowadays and this addiction is becoming more harmful and dangerous than drugs. Thus, Checking Facebook constantly should be stopped and here are 7 reasons why this should happen now:
- Who and what real friends are:
Friends are the ones who want you around. Many people that check, like or comment your photos are either stalkers (especially if you happen to be a woman) or someones who like approximately all photos as proof of existence, flattery or get likes back. Once leaving Facebook, such people will disappear.

When checking Facebook, nobody pays attention to the world around. Things that need to be done will be missed and lot of time will be wasted doing nothing but scrolling. Checking Facebook for 5 minutes means you lost at least 30 scrolling in addition to another 30 getting out of the Facebook situation and returning to what you were doing. Without Facebook, actual work will be done to keep from being bored, productivity will go up and people will start looking at what is happening around and focus on useful things.

Facebook makes you feel bad: Posting a photo without anyone liking or commenting on it; Being constantly exposed to people who are happier and more successful. Without Facebook, you will live your own life without any excuse to compare it to others’.

As mentioned earlier, a “Like” does not always mean that the person was astonished by the post. It is amazing to be liked but boring to have spurious likes. Just take a step away and look how people do really care about the posts they like.

Nothing could be worse than going out with someone and staring at the phone the whole time. Neither respecting the person you are sitting with, nor the concept of “going out” which is to talk and spend time together.

It is better to live your life instead of looking how others are doing so. Less jealousy and “left out” feeling, more self-confidence and socialization.

Sharing personal life, relationship status and emotional photos should be done with close people and not with someone you knew from the first class at school. Less audience, more privacy.

Nobody including me can deny the fact that Facebook re-connected old friends and family members living far the one from the other. It surely had and still has many benefits but checking the timeline every few minutes is more like a disease than a check on.
Moreover, Facebook is not the only addictive social network, but the most.
