According to new research, people who score highly on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory questionnaire had more friends on Facebook, tagged themselves more often and updated their newsfeeds more regularly.

Milo,
Bwahahahaahahahhha!
you made me fall off my chair laughing. “tweety-thing” lol. Who could’ve sent that myspace stuff? hmmmm….
😆
I don’t have a facebook page because I really don’t get it. I don’t really get how it works. We have a twitter account for BF’s business and all these followers showed up out of nowhere and they tweet things that nobody cares about and they want us to follow them. Why?
I really wish I understood facebook because I hear that it’s good for business but I don’t get it. How?
I just saw yesterday that the NYPD has a new program that they are testing out and they caught two guys with FACIAL RECOGNITION. They had pictures of them, but no full names so they put it on FB and BING the program pulled up the faces of these two guys and they were arrested.
I know they do facial recognition on the CSI-type shows all the time but it is BECOMING REAL!!!! Tee hee so maybe some of these bad guys will get caught because of their FB posts.
I have a FB page and have “friendships” with my friends that live at a distance, some of my former bosses, and was contacted yesterday with a friend request from a former employee that I liked but lost contact with 25 years ago. A couple of gals I went to high school with. My husband’s grandkids and kids, and some folks from my living history group.
But am careful not to put anything on there That I would not want on the front page of the local newspaper.
Slylar,
Fb is good for business to get your name out there. You can use it to post sales etc. a few of my friends have yoga studios and use it for special events and just regular yoga classes..
Ana,
thanks for the response, but how will people know to go to your facebook page to see the sale advert or special event?
Skylar,
Because when you friend someone it pops up on their fb page too and you can share it on your wall etc. Then people “like” your buisness and the word gets out. TADA!
Thanks Ana,
I see. If I friend 10 people, it’s like spamming 10 people with my advertising. Interesting.
Skylar,
People don’t consider it spam! They look forward to it…lol When they check their fb page, they LIKE that you posted to them.
I was just on their and one of my friends posted this:
be thankful for fb because the way gas prices are heading we may never see each other again.
Skylar,
i also do not have FB. However, I don’t have it because I don’t exist.
All accounts are in his name…I’m a signer, but do not own the accounts.
Had a problem w/eBay and PayPal…the tech ion the telephone said I had to have him answer questions before they’d talk to me.
Tried to join FB…my information (which is correct) is not acceptable…doesn’t like my name.
Tried to activate a credit card on an existing account…couldn’t do it because I don’t own the account.
Can’t change my emaIL PASSWORD…HE’S THE NETWORK ADMINISTER.
I can change the settings on my computer, but that only affects my computer…the administrator can access EVERYTHING remotely.
He forwarded an email to me (all computers are in the house) and it showed a strange name…not av. (assume that’s one of his aliases that means “not average”…I certainly hope he’s not!)
I have no recourse…I do not exist.
Sure wish there was a way for this to backfire on him.
I’d ask friends to look him up on FB or match.com, but they wouldn’t understand what I’m talking about…lucky them!
Imconfused.
that’s ridiculous.
Start setting boundaries. NOW.
first. you can get a gmail account for free without his permission. Your DOG can get one. Anyone can get one.
If you think that he has access to your computer and has a keylogger, then go to the library and get one. Use the library computer. Please don’t tell me he works at the library. 🙁
You have your own social security number, so start using that to get your OWN bank accounts and credit cards. Use cash to open a POBox or get a mailbox at one of those mailbox rentals. You need to start establishing your own identity.
Next, Get a cell phone plan in YOUR OWN name. Make it a smart phone with a data plan. Then you can use it instead of the computer at home.
You really must be confused to stay in such a desperate situation where you are no longer even a person in your own right. Go to a DV shelter if you need help. You are not in a good situation.
