I have a facebook account; it is quite handy for keeping in touch with far flung friends etc. However, I must be turning into a miserable old bag because I find it increasingly hard hearing about others triumphs (with the exception of new baby photo's, I enjoy those!) as I end up feeling bad about my life and choices.
Present angst is caused by holiday photo's as my carefully planned holiday contained a few incidents that, while not ruining things for the kids, led to DH especially getting very tired and stressed when he really needed a break. My friends, in contrast seem to have had amazingly wonderful times, judging by the hundreds of lovely photos posted.
I also find it difficult when achievements (this week it is exam results) of clever talented children are joyously proclaimed. My lot are a mixed bunch academically due to assorted special needs but I would feel uncomfortable listing even their fancy dress prizes!
If I post on Facebook I tend to try and be funny in a self deprecating way, tell me I'm not the only one?
I can't bring myself to step away.

AIBU to wonder if Facebook makes far more people miserable than happy.
