10 Reasons You Should Delete Your Facebook Account

3. We Share Too Much, Too Easily

This is the 21st century, and you can share any part of your life online with anything from a selected handful of friends, to several thousand complete strangers, depending on your own predilection for privacy. And everyone loves hearing about the ridiculous stories about oversharing: the criminals who were caught because they posted a photo of themselves at the crime scene, or the father who memorably lost an $80,000 legal settlement because his daughter violated a confidentiality agreement and blabbed about it on Facebook. Don€™t forget as well €“ your boss is watching you. Post pictures of your fun day off when you€™ve called in sick, and you could come back to work to find yourself suddenly unemployed. More than that, there's plenty of evidence that prospective employers could be checking your Facebook timeline along with your CV to see whether you€™re a good fit for their company. Those tequila-fueled photographs and poor life decisions you blurted all over the internet suddenly don€™t seem like such a good idea, do they? Then there€™s the brand new concept of FOMO €“ Fear Of Missing Out. Because some people only post the best stuff that happens to them, some other people can actually develop neuroses and inferiority complexes based upon this. Yes, this is actually a thing. People are hating themselves and their lives based on what you post to Facebook. No, we don€™t quite believe it either.
