I came across an article the other day talking about facebook and relationships. As a website company we push and push and push for social media and facebook pages and fan pages but if you are in a relationship - what does it do to that?
A society driven so much by technology that we become socially unaware of how to communicate with people - we text or email and phone and face to face conversation becomes obsolete. And then what happens when the dreaded - I was deleted feeling comes over you. You broke up or things just didn't work out and then all of a sudden you aren't facebook buddies anymore - and it hurts your feelings.
Astounding right? We use social media to stay connected to people - see what they are up to, promote our business, say what we are up to and generally stay connected 24 hours a day. Remember when the news started coming on 24 hours a day? It used to just be 2 or 3 times a day - now it's 24 hours a day.
We are social creatures by nature - and human beings with feelings. So here's what the article suggested - either you and your mate are not connected to one another on facebook or you don't visit one anothers page. If something bothers you talk about it - but really don't give them a reason to. Ultimately don't let facebook rule your personal life - only your business. I have said it in the past there is barely separation between the 2 however this is case where it's possible.
The biggest thing is really, if you get deleted I promise you it's not the end of the world. It is always difficult to lose a friend but then again there is always a reason to. And if you did the deleting - well I hope it was worth it. Hey, I've deleted and been deleted - quite frankly the amazing part is, is live goes on.
My fortune cookie said today that "The difficulties in life are supposed to make us better, not bitter." So appropriate.
To success,
