That's my problem, is that this IS exactly how it's supposed to be used, and it bothers me! It makes me *needy*. It makes me waste HOURS scrolling through my news feed looking for something to leave a witty reply to, or just staring blankly at the screen hoping sombody posts something before I can think of something witty to post as my "Status". It's like I'm sitting in the corner of a crowded room, eavesdropping, hoping I can overhear something that somebody says so I can try and butt in to the conversation and then occasionally just yelling in to the crowd (at no one in particular) "HEY HERE'S A THING I HATE AND A SARCASTIC COMMENT ABOUT IT!" in hopes that somebody will glance at me, acknowledge me, recognize my obvious comedic brilliance...

It feels *DESPERATE*. No, it makes ME feel desperate. That's better... it's most assuredly a YMMV situation, and it's a GREAT way to stay connected with/share with/interact with "The Masses"... I just can't handle it. It's the same reason I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, I'm sure... I'm afraid that I'll become addicted because I have a very addictive personality, and not in a GOOD way. I always take it WAY too far. I let it consume me. And really, I've got enough consumption in my life! Family, Comic Books, Disney Land, Sci-Fi, IRL Friends, Games... I don't NEED another addiction!

No. Strike that. I need to ACTIVELY AVOID another addiction.
