I finally realized what was so awkward about Facebook after reading some article. On Facebook, everyone has such full control over their profiles, it enables people to create this fantasy image of themselves. Happy, perfect, having everything. This would seem to explain why some people are flat out addicted to Facebook. In the same way that some people seem addicted to watching the every move of celebrities because of their “perfect lifestyle”, it seems to be much the same way on Facebook.

Good observation. I don’t think any of us are “completely” ourselves online, but it feels to me like those on spaces are closer than most.

I agree, on facebook people appear perfect because others are only see an edited glimpse of the person’s life. Yes, we control what we post, which more than likely is only the good stuff but really, do you want to know all the bad stuff? If that was the case, I’m sure the person would be labeled as a chronic whiner.
