I have been "on" Facebook since its inception. I remember signing up for it before it was clear what it was for. That is a long time ago now. I used to enjoy it. Some of it I still do but....
I am on several interesting sites and I comment and people comment back and we enjoy conversation about a mutually interesting subject.
But...nobody reads my posts.
I posted two reasonably interesting things yesterday -- one sort of sadly comical -- sad because it was true, comical because, well, it was true. And, one with photos which I thought were interesting.
No comments, no heads up that it was seen.
I clearly don't have what it takes to be a facebooker.
Should I quit? Should I just lurk which is mostly what I do anyway?
I read peoples posts and I comment. I am invisible.
Oh well......

Got to admit that I'm not a Facebook fan. I never post. I rarely check and find it quite difficult to find my way around. I like blogs better.
I do sympathise about feeling invisible when there are no comments even though it's blog posts rather than Facebook posts that I'm talking about.
I am terrible for reading things and not commenting, so maybe hang in there a bit longer.....
Mary -- I really prefer the blogs to FB as well. I really only use FB to keep up with family. I do like messenger though.
Gill -- I am guilty of doing the same.
I've never liked Facebook. And I don't really "hang out" there (as you probably know). I TRY to remember to check in at least a few times a week to see what's going on with everyone, but I don't always catch every post. But even when I'm there on a regular basis, I don't always see all the recent posts from everyone. And then, once I do see them, I can never find them again. Obviously, I'm just not very good at FB-ing. Didn't see your post with the photos - I'll have to go look for it.
Joy Lynn -- yes, the only reason I am on FB is to keep up with family and a few friends but, as you say, I don't see everything that gets posted and I miss a lot of stuff. I do like that one group about San Antonio -- memories and memorabilia or something like that -- they have neat photos but I have really lost interest in FB. And, it isn't your FBing skills that are the problem -- it is Facebook!
