My ex also lived for Facebook, she would randomly add women - and they would instantly be "friends". She had no real life friends only acquaintances as over time the mask dropped and the real person came out and they left. She also got to know women through dating sites and they became 'friends' - she could not go out and meet people under normal circumstances and situations.
Yeah, mine would tell me that she was "busy" doing things, but her ex-boyfriend told me yesterday that they never did anything. She just stayed inside all day. She spent the entire month of May smoking pot and kept telling me she was "busy."
She had no concept of the real world around her, day to day world events, important things like elections she had no idea of, current affairs - that to her was life on Facebook.
Mine is so incredibly intelligent, but that really only applies to things like literature and philosophy. She told me her ex-boyfriend was "oblivious" to the world around him, but that was all projection. She isn't even registered to vote. She got all of her "news" from Buzzfeed, and it was always stupid stuff that didn't matter.
She was obsessed with Dr Who and could spend hours watching it.
Same with mine. I also like the show, but it isn't my life. Actually, it's the reason we became friends in the first place. She walked by my classroom and saw my
Doctor Who posters, and the rest is history.
I always said she lived in la la land through Facebook, and it was a false image of her and real life.
Yep. Right after her suicide attempt, she posted a picture of her and her boyfriend looking happy, like nothing had happened. Today, she changed her profile picture to one of her and her sister, looking happy. Now, she has all of these new friends from work. A few weeks ago, she was freaking out because she didn't have a place to live. As soon as that problem was solved, I was tossed to the side again.
