"I was chatting with a friend about the Fab forum the other day and she expressed the usual gripe that it feels cliquey. Then we talked about how I found it quite addictive with all the little dopamine hits and she said that's what the clique is... it's a small group of people who are addicted to the dopamine hits of posting something and having someone reply to it. And I finally realised she was right. That's exactly what's going on with a core group of people on here who just chat away endlessly about everything and anything like Graham Norton's character on Father Ted. So this thread is some advice for the dopamine junkies out there. I was there. This is what I did. Firstly I went cold turkey and took a whole week off. Then I started viewing the forum via the desktop site without logging on. If you're on a phone you'll see the link to it at the bottom of the front screen. After you click through you can select "forum" from the banner at the top and you're in. This enabled me to enjoy reading the forum again but in a read only format. Something I may continue to do after I leave. But this little bit of distance from it also puts in an extra hurdle. A thread really needs to be exceptional to bother logging in and contributing to. But, over time, you'll realise that none of them really are all that exceptional. And the need for that dopamine hit reduces and you finally feel less antsy and agitated and in need of "something". As with my other post, I'm envisaging this'll get some people's backs up. But the intention is noble. There are some good people on this site and if they're locked in a negative dopamine addiction I truly hope they can break away from it and settle back inside themselves in a more grounded way. Fabs forums provided me with real relief from some of the crap I went through this last year. But it left me with an addiction I needed to deal with. This thread is for others who suspect they may have gotten wound into an unhealthy relationship with this or other social media. I hope you find a way through it. All the best everyone xx" Is this your farewell speech? | |||

"I prefer the straightforward, light-hearted question threads to back and forward interactive ones. I've always loved filling out questionnaires though, so I must get my fix from answering superficial questions like 'Whats your favourite...? or 'Name a song...?' etc where there's not much need for a response. I don't think I use Fab for anything on a very deep level." I prefer the ones that involve a bit of discussion. I avoid politics though. | |||

" Totally different usage for me - I use Facebook to keep up with all the 'real world' events I go to, and to keep in touch with one or two long distance friends, but never have any kind of in depth discussion on there, and it's not 24/7 active like fab is lol! | |||

"You’re possibly right, I see here and my Twitter (which is mostly football based) and my football clubs forum (my three main Social Media platforms) more as a distraction from day to day life to be honest. But they’d be dull if nobody ever responded - the interaction is what makes them fun. Who doesn’t like social interaction? It’s why you go with your mates to the pub. Or out playing sport. Or any other social activity : to interact with other people and have fun. I think you’re possibly over-thinking this, but you’re definitely right that I prefer people to respond to me than ignore me! " touche! | |||
