FaceBook Timeline Will F*ck Up Your Relationships
by John Max
Last month at Loveawake, I went on a rant about how social media (specifically FaceBook) is creating chaos in our lives. (Click HERE to read) And it now it looks like Mark Zuckerman wants to see how far we will let the insanity of our obsessive online relationships take us as the new Facebook Timeline went live this week.
All of my lady friends have been ecstatic over the new Facebook Timeline for months now, while I have been quietly contemplating whether to quit Facebook whenever the new Timeline takes over profiles–without giving us the choice to decide if we want to choose the drama-filled layout.
So although Facebook is promoting the fact that the new Timeline is a nostalgic masterpiece, it’s really an instrument of death in regards to functioning relationships everywhere.
Facebook Timeline highlights your most popular pictures of the year, statuses, friends and memorable posts–which is all good and dandy for 2025.
However, what people are forgetting is that the Timeline not only marks the milestones from this year, but all the years you have been on Facebook.
Yeah.
Remember when you were first on Facebook? Remember the first time you got dumped when you had a Facebook account? I bet you buried the fact that you posted numerous statuses about your ex and posted many drunken pictures hoping to make them jealous. But guess what? Facebook remembers and Facebook will let you relive all these fine memories with just a click of a button. But more importantly, FaceBook will also allow your significant others to revisit those moments from your life with just a click of a button.
Think about all the fights you have had about certain exes with your current lover or spouse. If you thought having your partner find out you had still had your ex on Facebook was bad, imagine how bad it will be when your past relationships, flings and booty calls are posted on your profile for all to see?
How can anybody say “It’s all in the past” anymore when the “past” is presently being displayed on your current Facebook profile?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you are strong and if you are wise you will consider quitting FaceBook altogether for your New Year’s Resolution. Social media is only making things worse and considering how insecure people are in this technological day and age, you might as well kiss your relationship and future healthy relationships good-bye if you continue to feed into the social media madness.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. ;)
