Social Dysfunction

According to a recent CNN article, therapists say they're seeing more and more people suffering from Facebook addiction. These people are ignoring their children, their jobs, their "real" life, in favor of the social networking site. Therapists say that the site is not the problem, the diconnection from real life is the true culprit. These "addicts" note how wonderful this virtual world can be and how people tend to put their best face forward. "Facebook is a fun, pleasant, happy, beautiful world. People only present the crème de la crème of their lives on Facebook. And these people want to be your friends! It's very seductive" notes one addict.

CNN provide a checklist of symptoms that may indicate whether YOU are a Facebook addict:

1. You lose sleep over Facebook

2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook

3. You become obsessed with old loves

4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook

5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in a cold sweat

I can honestly say no to all of the above. However, I'm worried that I may have a slight addiction to "Social Network Reject." Why do you ask? Here are five signs that you may be an anti-facebook addict:

1. You stick your finger down your throat and pretend to vomit everytime someone mentions Facebook

2. You have a secret Facebook account in order to spy and make fun of all your frenemies

3. You make fun of all your friends who are Facebook addicts and call them losers repeatedly

4. Your mom has a Facebook account and you don't

5. You write a blog dedicated to propogating anti-facebook sentiment
