Hi Dr Laura!
Yes, I've had bumps and bruises from my time on social networking and even a few scars. An easy one to share is one I'm sure most have experienced. The social media invitation thing.
Good grief! Folks don't seem to want to take the time to send out real invites anymore or even just use the darn phone. The party people are all invited on Facebook!? So if I don't log on every day I might miss out.....that's kept me on way too much. It's sad to miss out on a birthday or party or beach bonfire, but I'm willing to miss out rather than feel the anxiety of 'checking in' constantly. It's like a big group therapy session where no one really gets well, just sicker.
I'll keep my Facething account but will never do a group invite. I like a real phone call better than a text message too, but that's another topic. Keep doing what you do Mother Laura!
Jo
