The point is to just be yourself, moron. I have no idea why people feel the need to shell up in front of certain people.
The same thing that happened to Myspace will happen to Facebook. They were both cool at first when only a small group of people you trusted were your friends. Now, I have too many "friends" I don't know too well. I don't want to post drunk photos of a recent bachelor party- there are too many coworkers/ relatives/ girls im dating, etc. Probably nothing will happen if I post it, but I guess I feel self conscious about it. It just feels weird to broadcast my life to so many people.
LOL @ all the people who can't "lie" or do "silly things" or "crazy things" on social networks without their parents knowing about it. I agree with this. Or maybe they just don't belong in EITHER one and should start looking in the mirror.
@Invisible Fan shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up! Really? Mine, too. [+] SwoLy-D likes your post.
For me, it's not about not being myself, it's about not wanting everyone to see every side of me. I'd prefer if my parents and some co-workers didn't know I am a binge drinker who frequently has promiscuous sex. Deep down they probably know it, but having a lack of explicit evidence makes all the difference. My mother doesn't need to see the drunken wall post my fbuddy makes on a Saturday night, and neither do some of the people who I operate on a professional basis with (especially in my field of work). And I definitely prefer it if a lot of people didn't see some of the pictures I was tagged in while I was in undergrad. You are over a decade older than me though, so maybe I just haven't reached that level of indifference in how people perceive me that you have. However, at this point in my life, I prefer to exercise discretion as to what private facts I broadcast to everyone I know.

What you're doing here is so courageous and inspiring. Maybe you should blog or twitter about it. You're an inspiration to us all. MaDpropZ
Yes. This makes you a terrible, anti-social reclusive and vindictive person. Your son's grandmother probably was hoping that by being your FB friend she could see more pictures of her sweet grandson and you are denying her this priviledge because you no longer love the woman you once married! Or maybe you just use Facebook differently than I do I would suggest that if you are younger than retirement age, you should probably refrain from putting things on Facebook (or any other internet site)that you don't want your mother (or future employer) to see. And if you are older than retirement age the rest of us probably don't want to see pictures of you in comprimising situations anyway...
