 how addicted are you?  Facebook for me is something i rely on but not as much as some people. But i was more addictive than what i thought i was. Facebook is part of my daily routine i use it when i wake up, when i get bored, and before i go to sleep. Im not so addictive that i obsess about my likes or comments and i especially do not friend someone just so i have "tons" of friends matter of fact, i have a total of 90 friends and they are majority family members and some friends either from high school or current friends.

I know I do and i am very guilty of being one of those people.  Social media is a wonderful outlook to interact with friends and family, and most people are very quick to post personal information about themselves. Posting and keeping your friends updated is nice, but you never know who is watching. It is actually kind of scary how someone can use social media to find out so much information about someone or even scarier.... YOURSELF!  I am guilty of being one of those who posts everything about them self, Ive actaully had a situation where someone was stalking my account so much they knew all this personal information about me and were telling people about it and even worse my husband and I have some family drama and it was posted all over social media!
