Shit like this is why there've never been pics of me on the Internet

& why I keep my PC camera covered.

1. Another perfect reason to unsubscribe from fakebook.

8. I can't let FB go

It's the only way I can keep in contact with some of my group and besides I play their games.

9. I would recommend the fakebook 12 step recovery program.

Someone is always playing games somewhere else. Wish you luck!

10. Yup same here

I got rid of my account about 2 months ago when I could no longer support, Trump supporters, or people apathetic to Trump. The vitriol that was being directed to me coming from people who have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM lumping Obama with radical clergy (in their opinion) but whose feeling were "so crushed" I would suggest that if they have an issue with a black man taking a knee against violence against POC, they are a racist like Trump..

The hypocrisy was so thick, and I got even more mad that they didnt see the hypocrisy at a minimum. I was like, "Nope, no more." Let me tell you, it has been one of the best decisions I've made in recent memory. I thought I was gonna have issues, because when I get up I would hop on and see what's going on in my Blacksmithing Groups, Political Groups, and finally friends and family groups.

Lol and to be honest I couldnt care less that my 2nd Cousin went to a birthday party for another 2 year old and it was just an absolute cutie pie when they burped up dinner. 🤣😂🤣

The best part is with the exception of about 5 people, I didnt make any sort of goodbye announcement, or leave at least a number of email. So we will see on my next birthday, how many actual birthdays I have to keep current with anymore. 😂

This isnt even taking into account the last two hacks that have happened. 👍🏻

4. You're on there if you've ever been in a group photo that is posted on FB.

5. Have you Googled yourself and then clicked on images, just to be sure?

[catbyte]

6. I have. I even refused to have my pic on the website of the university I worked at.

It's a phobia with me. I have a pathological aversion to having my picture taken, lol. I haven't been in a group picture since high school. I graduated in 1973. I've been camera shy all my life. I don't know why.

11. I hear ya. I don't do photos either. It's mostly

because I am extremely unphotogenic. Cameras hate me. I don't think I'm as awful looking as my driver's license, work badge, and passport photos would suggest, but just thinking about anyone seeing them is upsetting. I hate when I'm with my family on vacation and a stranger, no doubt trying to be helpful, volunteers to take a group photo of us. I always politely turn the person down and then feel sort of bad that there are literally only about 5 photos of my daughter and me and the last one was taken when she was a toddler. She's now 25. Pathological aversion -- you nailed it.
