What does it mean if someone thinks Facebook is too invasive and overwhelming for them, and this is why they don't have facebook?

I asked this girl why she doesn't have facebook, she said cause she thinks it's too invasive and overwhelming for her.

Hmm, well if she thinks Facebook is too invasive that could mean a few things:

- She values her privacy and doesn't want all her personal info and photos out there publicly. Can't blame her for that.

- Maybe she just doesn't wanna feel like she needs to constantly be online and posting stuff. Social media can feel like a lot sometimes.

- Or it could be a subtle way of sayin she's not that into like showing off her life all the time online. Which is valid, social media ain't for everyone.

- Some people also feel like Facebook collects TOO much data on you with all the tracking and stuff. They just wanna stay lowkey online.

Tbh I get where she's coming from. Social is mad distracting and it's easy to waste time scrolling for no reason. If she's cool with texting and stuff, I wouldn't read too much into not having an account, ya feel?

Might mean she just values real interactions more than virtual ones. And that's actually pretty mature if you ask me. As long as y'all can still kick it, I wouldn't stress about the Facebook thing!

Ot at least more intelligent about the internet than people who have the opposing opinion.
