MySpace

Does anyone else feel frustrated/depressed while on MySpace? I just deleted my account; it was becoming a 24-hour high school reunion and a constant display of every failed relationship since middle school.

I get depressed at the amount of sluts and meat-heads on there.

However, I don't really browse the people there. I enjoy myspace for other reasons ;)

I don't really browse it...I just keep up with the people I wanna keep up with.

I had an account there but I deleted it after about a week. I didn't even like any of the attention that I was getting on there. Plus, this really old guy, who looked like he was 25 years older than me hit on me and I told him that I wasn't interested in him so he really cussed me out.

I don't even respond to messages with randoms hitting on me. I delete them and ignore.

Me too, but after awhile they are pretty entertaining to show your friends.

Yea I use it to keep in touch with friends. It's a great thing to play on when you're bored at work or feel like procrastinating :)

Yes. Maybe it's the wrong attitude, but that's why I don't like networking sites. I only have one at myfacebook, and I visit that site once every month, if even. If I want to keep up with my friends, I email them or call them up directly. People I don't keep in touch with...are probably not even good friends to begin with.

I also want to move my time away from online activities, so it wouldn't help me if I have an account (I would probably check it obsessively) :rolleyes:

Yeah. It started out that way. As my friend list became larger, though, it just got to be rediculous.

You know, myspace is a funny little thing. I was on it for few months, deleted, and then crawled back into it, and then deleted again. lol. And now I wanna join it again. It's totally an addiction... I joined it because I wanted to stay connected to few good friends...but then why can't we just call our friends when we're bored rather than posting it online?

[wordsmith]

I find messageboards way more addicting than stuff like myspace, somehow.

Well put! I joined myspace to keep up with some old friends and then deleted it after a week. I started to think that if I only felt comfortable communicating with these people though myspace rather than e-mail, IM or phone...then are they really my friends? To quote one of my friends... "myspace is more of a way to validate yourself to others by amassing "friends" " - at first I was like huhh... but then this occurred to me when I searched for people who I went to h.s. with and realized that a lot of their "friends" are people they hated back when/still hate today. I really don't get myspace. Thats just two cents though :)

Yeah, I have an account on there. It does seem kinda depressing sometimes. But maybe that's cuz I don't have millions of "friends" on there.

I haven't deleted my profile. I've erased everything from it though (twice). It would be a good way to keep in touch with friends, because I feel like we're drifting apart since I graduated college. But I don't really have that many close friends and if they were good friends, we'd just call each other or something to keep in touch anyway.

But I am tempted to put something back up on my profile on myspace just as a way to help me meet new people (hopefully no creeps though).
