To be fed up with selfies on Facebook and other rubbish...

I don't use FB much. I belong to some groups linked to my work and consequently log in maybe once a day. Many of my FB friends are work colleagues. And I am sick to death of seeing photos of their kids. Day after day we see them eating their breakfast, tying their shoelaces, sucking at the breast, (aka breastfeeding) with almost every moment of their lives on social media. And that's without the parents loading up selfies of themselves, posing, telling us all 'Look at me, aren't I great!' These are adult professional women in their 40s, almost pouting at the camera, looking out from under their fringes with Big Eyes. Yes, I hide their posts a lot, but I can't figure out the mindset behind these people who think everyone wants to know everything about their lives and see photos of them all the time. Why? Just why?

But FB is also essential, for keeping in touch with my extended family and ex-colleagues etc across the globe.

It's certainly not essential. You can keep in touch with all those people, sending personal and less personal messages to relevant groups of email contacts.
