10 Biggest Reasons Everybody Is Abandoning Facebook

7. We Don't Actually Care About Any Of These People

Most of us have at least a hundred friends on Facebook, usually a great deal more. Most of us have an offline social circle of about ten close friends, if I'm generous. That's quite a discrepancy. Of course, Facebook is a vehicle for professional networking and such, but even considering that, there's just a whole lot of people whose intimate and inconsequential life details you're fed everyday through Facebook that you simply just don't give a flying doughnut about. The point is, Facebook can be a great way of connecting with people, but, more often than not, it's used as a way of connecting with people you would never ordinarily connect with. So when it seems all you've got on your news feed is a never-ending stream of your old primary school teacher letting you know what type of detergent she got for 20% off and once-acquaintances-now-strangers checking into Starbucks for the third time in as many days, it comes to a point where you just have to quit, if only for the sake of your own sanity.
