Slowly Loosing My Interest On Facebook A few days ago, I changed my profile picture on Facebook and I forgot to set the privacy into "Only Me" where no one can react and comment into that certain post. Well, this incident inspired to create this article, lol. It's been twenty minutes since I uploaded it, and no one even dared to react on my profile. Because of that, I immediately asked myself. Am I shadowbanned or not? Or if that's the case, why I didn't get affected at all unlike through the previous years?Of course, I went to Settings to change the "Only Me" privacy, and it didn't affect nor get me annoyed at all.

Throughout the years, I've been browsing my Facebook account since Grade 5 up until today. It's been almost a decade since I developed that kind of habit, and I can assume that it has a great contribution on the mindset do I have today. I can still glance the memories when I don't have a data plan and I wanted to ease my boredom, I will just scroll on my News Feed to read, react, and share some trends, engaging on sharing posts, and even playing some of their games without speaking verbally. Sounds nostalgic, right? However, as the time goes by, I realized that it is getting toxic. For over the months that I've been engaging through the crypto word, I realized that scrolling on my feed to share some of hilarious posts has lessened. Oftentimes, I'm unconsciously asking myself if the developers of the BCH platform would emerge earlier? Do you think that we wouldn't have a couple of regrets? It seems like I've been in the wrong platform, or I'm just thinking this way because many Facebook users are getting cancerous? Despite the things that I regretted, it's still a good point that my attachment on Facebook decreases. Just realized this thing after a couple of months of hustling, and it satisfies my brain since I did it. If you wouldn't mind, here are the evidences who can proof my claim. **1) The number of posts that I'm sharing became less** During the first week of pandemic, I admit that I can share up to thirty posts per day. Looks irresistable and undisciplined, right? *Well, ganon talaga kapag tambay at palamunin ka lang sa bahay haha.* Sometimes, if I got amused scrolling memes which made me smile, I almost forgot that the posts that I am sharing are most likely toxic. But then, after I discovered these sites, I became open-minded and matured slight. **2) I thought that the amount of friends and likes is a race.** When I was in junior high school, I thought that the number of friends and reacts on your timeline is somehow a race. I can still remember my *kajejehan* where I joined on Active Likers group which you can accumulate more likes by helping each other. Maybe those things could be a part of what you called pre-adolescence where we are still finding ourselves in the teen bracket age. Apparently, I also get annoyed through the past where I was repeating my profile just for the sake of more likes. For instance, I already used that profile last month and since *uhaw ako sa atensyon*, I will repeat it again where my likes will increase. On the other hand, as I grow up, I am gradually recognizing the real definition of friends. At first, I thought that if I have many friends on Facebook, then it means that I am famous. Sucks to tell this, but I get envious on those popular guys before since they can reach 5000 friends with hundred of reacts on their profile picture. And now, I realized what is the real value of friends. Additionally, I also cared now about my privacy and security. I am still requesting and accepting few Facebook friends *pa naman*, and I am happy since they are immediately granting my requests. **3) I became showy before too the point that it wrecked my reputation.** I don't want to elaborate this one since I don't want to open how immature I was. Every time I woke up, I am seeing the past post that I did since I became a slave of my emotion and all I can say is "*Ew kadiri, I'll never do that again...* " just like how Ms. Heart reacted on her past interview. And now, I am happy to ponder all of the thoughts lingering on my brain without any print of toxicity on noise and here. If you will look back on my corny side, *pagtatawanan niyo lang ako*. That's all for this blog. I hope you get entertained. If you didn't understand some of the things that I shared on italicized phrases, pardon me. I just wanted to share my thoughts freely hehe.
