Not being on Facebook - sign of being a psychopath

We all know the type. They walk amongst us going about their everyday lives. You never know who they are or why they are doing what they are doing but you know they're there. They are mavericks, social outcasts through choice and usually very proud of that fact. They are of that rare breed; people who don't use Facebook. And they're slowly becoming extinct.

This may sound a bit dramatic but The Daily Mail has today informed us that a lot of employers and psychologists believe that people who aren't on social networking sites are 'suspicious'.

Are you on the guest list yet for early entry (+ freebies) to the world's first ever online Freshers' Fair (all years)?


More than that, German magazine Der Taggspiegel has pointed out that along with morals and whole lot of sense, quite a few mass murderers don't have Facebook either (mentioning James Holmes and Anders Breivik). Essentially - if someone doesn't have Facebook they are probably a psychopath.

Even if the non-Facebook user doesn't decide to go on a killing spree, not having an account can still hurt their chances of employability. Human resources departments are apparently becoming wary of applicants without an online profile as it is now viewed by many as 'abnormal' and dysfunctional' not to have one.

With all this in mind, we've identified certain symptoms to look out for when trying to judge if someone doesn't have Facebook:

    Unusually high grades due to a lack of procrastination.
    A blissful unawareness of what's going on on TOWIE this week.
    An "I'm too cool and alternative for this" attitude.
    Their hands slowly clasping around your neck.

It is quickly becoming obvious that not signing up to Facebook will not be tolerated by society. If you know anyone ignoring Big Face Brother then please tell them to step into line, lest they end up in prison (or worse, MySpace).

I had a Facebook roughly 2 years ago, but I ended up deleting it. :shrug:

I deleted it for a multitude of reasons. The major two being that I was sick of raging at the stupidity that I would see on the feed. (I understand that's not Facebook's problem, and it's mine. But to me, that was the best solution.) It created all sorts of drama which I wanted nothing to be a part of.

Most of the things that I'd see on the feed were people trying to get a social objectification and validation of their lives. A lot of things were just, "look where I've been, and what I'm doing." I really just didn't care for the most part, and I didn't want to participate.

The second reason was that, people are flat out addicted to it. I can barely pull my friends and family away from Facebook for a day. It's a thing that people consistently check. I understand that. If I was bored, I'd check it every 5 minutes. See if anything was new.

It's convenient for keeping in contact with people, but other than that, I really don't care for it. But I do see the points that the article that you posted makes.

It's really sad when in this day and age you are considered a psychopath and a rebel for not having an account on a particular corporation's Internet website.

Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled hills lungs with air. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
