Before memo, Yours, and so forth, there were no social networks that did nearly half the job of fb in terms of being able to interact with others. I was depressed long before fb.
You know what - sure, it's facebook. I mean why not. You want to just narrow it down to one thing, go for it. Also, meditation and no weed. Binary thinking ftw.
From my observations during life I say that the circumstances make people depressed. Family can be a curse even if perceived differently because of fear of the unknown.
That might sound odd to you. I also think it's odd to specify only fb. We are social creatures. Aside from online right now, I'm pretty much isolated. It's a complex situation.
Not that complex situations can't have simple solutions. I think your way of going about solving for my is overly simplistic, especially since you don't gave the contextual data.
I would appreciate if you considered that what benefits you might not be what someone else needs. What you're saying has general benefits that I agree with though.
You are totally overanalyzing what I said. I was just talking about my own experience. To find out if that can help you is your own responsibility I do not even think about that.
