Today, I decided to delete my Facebook account. My older sister repeatedly called me in tears asking why I'm cutting her out of my life. It seems I can't get rid of social media without my family taking offence. FML

Haha that same shit happened to me. I got a call from my mom, sister, and best friend asking why I removed them as friends on Facebook. Then when I said I deleted it they were baffled. Damn social media.

Just tell them to take a chill pill and that you love them, just not Facebook.

This condition is called Kyle Broflovski syndrome.

Depends on the point of view, otherwise it could be Stan Marsh Sydrome

It doesn't seem like you are getting rid of social media. You are posting here, expecting social responses...

Facebook is pretty good for stalking exes and girls I like. It's also a good way to meet girls (my last girlfriend was a girl I knew but barely saw anymore and I sent a friend request to her on Facebook and she told me she liked me and asked me to hang out). 98% of my friends on there annoy the **** out of me, but I like having lots of friends because it makes it more casual. I send a girl a friend request and she sees I have 20 friends (or can't see how many friends I have) and she might think it's a big deal ("wtf, why does this guy want to be friends with me? I should not be one of the 20 closest people to him, I barely know him!"). But if I have 300 friends they'll think "Oh, this guy is just friends with everyone, he isn't obsessed with me or anything, just friendly". It also makes remembering birthdays easier.

No offense, but if you have friends on your FB just to make you look more popular then it's really pathetic. Sending random people friend requests, just to make it look like you have more friends is equally pathetic. FB was meant for people to stay in touch with friends and family, it isn't a dating site. And it isn't meant for you to stalk people. You sound like one of those people who literally spends hours every day going though people's FBs just so you don't stay out of the loop. It's extremely creepy...

You couldn't be more wrong. You lack reading skills. I didn't say anything about having lots of friends to look popular. I have lots of friends so that when I add a girl it looks casual (casual is not a word for popular). It has nothing to do with "popular" and everything to do with "how many people does he add". A person who only adds their closest friends and so has 15 friends can be way more popular than a guy who adds everyone he knows and has 1000 friends. But if someone with 15 friends added me I'd think "this guy considers me one of his closest friends", which would creep me out, unless of course I was actually close friends with the person. If someone I barely know who has 1000 friends adds me I think "this person adds everyone, it's meaningless that they added me". Why can't you understand this? If I send a girl a friend request and I only have 10 friends then it looks like she's one of the 11 closest people to me, which is creepy if I barely know her. If I have 300 friends it looks like she's one of the 300 closest people to me. I do very little on Facebook. About once a month I check out my exes (takes 10 seconds) and maybe a girl I'm currently crushing on (again, 10 seconds). So your guess of hours a day was completely wrong. Less than hours in my entire life time. Good reading and interpretation skills though.

You are trying way too hard. I honestly think you should seek therapy for that, it sounds like a stalker's personality.

I must be amazing then, because what you call "trying too hard", I call "not trying at all". Where's the effort?

Never mind, I just saw your age on your profile. It all makes sense now.

Implying my age has anything to do with anything, and makes you any less wrong.

People are so drama filled over the Internet. Sometimes it's best not to even have accounts.

Similar thing happened to me before. I deactivated my account for about a week or two for personal reasons, and I got spammed with messages from friends asking me what was wrong.

I just had this happen to me yesterday, just with my friend not my sister. Fyl. People can be so selfish and non-understanding.
