SHORT ANSWER: I don’t HAVE to put
EVERYTHING on Facebook.
LONG ANSWER: Please Do Not Worry! I am not being
held at gun point and forced to write updates! I do
CHOOSE to put LOTS on Facebook because it is a
massive help to me (and often helps others too) I don’t
find verbalising easy and I find mixing, chatting &
maintaining face to face interactions with people really
difficult but on Facebook I can easily write, rather than
speak whatever I want from the privacy, comfort &
convenience of my own home, or where ever I am, for
FREE, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to a world-wide
audience including all my friends in other countries.
Facebook enables me to express things I might otherwise
struggle to express. I can use it as an outlet for the manic,
racing thoughts that can otherwise torture my head to the
point of migraines and physical illness so it is a very
valuable, accessible tool for me.
If anyone is annoyed, irritated or in any other way pissed
off by anything I post they are more than welcome to
NOT read it, NOT look at it, block my posts or unfriend
me. If however you are being physically forced to read
my posts - perhaps tied to a chair with your eye lids
clamped open in the manner of "A Clock Work
Orange’s" Aversion Therapy scene I suggest you scream
for help and unfocused your eyes to obliterate my words
and the distress they are causing you.
Actually its strange, often people who I never, ever hear
from on Facebook come up to me and say "I love your
posts / I really like reading your posts - but I just never
like / comment"
