Don't want to go on a facebook rant, but I stay away. Only have a facebook page because I'm a musician and have to. Facebook isn't real. It's edited pictures and thoughts that people carefully choose to make others believe they're something other than what they actually are. It's easy to construct a perfect or wonderful and exciting looking existence through our editors over the internet.
Coupla years ago my brother had a huge barbecue that everyone was invited to but me. He didn't post about it. Someone else did though, and I saw it. Pretty sure he quit using facebook after that, and it was a major contributor to my realizing I didn't want to be a big part of that social networking thing. If I check it twice a week that's a lot. I do fine with this, and a musician's forum I'm part of
