How to know if you are a Facebook Addict

From http://www.associatedcontent.com/, here are ways to know if you are addicted to Facebook:

You start losing huge chunks of time and wonder where on Earth the day went.
You find yourself making up lies about what you "did all day" to compensate for all those lost hours.

Your house is getting messier as the weeks go by and you have no clean laundry.

You are one of the few people who uses the Facebook chat option.

You can't stop nagging other reasonable people to join Facebook. Like teenage peer pressure, it's o.k. for you to do it as long as others are doing it as well.

You call into work sick because you just came across all of your old photos and have a ton of scanning and tagging to do.

You visit sites and articles that list the reasons you are addicted to Facebook.

You invite someone you can't stand to be your friend because you simply must know what they are up to or because you simply cannot miss out on anything.

Getting angry at people who didn't wish you a Happy Birthday because "C'mon...it's on Facebook!...There is no excuse for forgetting!"


Instead of looking forward to your vacation, you are more worried about what you are going to miss on your computer while you are gone. Which then leads to....

Completely changing your cell phone plan and your cell phone because your current one doesn't have access to Facebook.

You have to pretend you don't know someone when meeting them for the first time, yet you know their deepest, darkest secrets thanks to a mutual friends' pages.

You only check your email to see if you have an update on Facebook.

You suddenly have 200 emails in your inbox and they are all Facebook updates. Which then leads to...

Spending two hours going through each email making sure you didn't miss anything when you checked your profile page. Which then leads to....


Feeling horrendously guilty that you didn't immediately respond to a comment someone left for you 2 days ago. How could you possibly have missed it?

You get insane if your friend number drops and you go crazy trying to figure out who deleted you.

Your usual bedtime is now two hours later than it has been in years.

As soon as you meet someone the first thing you do is go home and "Facebook" them.

Not having access to someone else's profile can push you over the edge. Which then leads to...

You must chat with everybody currently online the same time as you.

Ha! I hope you aren't a Facebook Addict. It is very easy to become one- with all the stuff you can do on Facebook, it is easy for the hours to fly by.
