17 Struggles of Having Facebook In Your Twenties

​1. Your timeline is always rammed with people announcing their pregnancy news in stupid creative and ridiculous ways. Often involves an oven, hot crossed bun or viral video campaign a la Tom from McFly.

2. You receive friendship requests from people you haven't seen for a good 6 years on a daily basis. Soz Tom from Year 8 maths, it's just not gonna happen.

3. It has become a hub for your successful 'friends' to brag about their achievements. The inverted commas meaning they're not your real friends, you just like spying on them.

​4. There are too many engaged/married/relationship status updates than you can bear ​and you often wonder why no one else feels remotely queasy every time someone updates these details like you do.

​5. The 'On This Day' function serves to embarrass you on a daily basis ​with throwback pictures of when you thought dream matte mousse was the answer to all your makeup problems.

6. You  still don't really know whether to accept that colleague you used to work with 3 months ago. ​You ​might ​bump into them again which will make things really awkward - but then again, do you really care what they're sharing?

7. Your timeline is basically a long collection of people tagging other people in viral videos and news stories again and again and again. ​Four days later, it's probably been on your homepage about 19 times.

8. You're not ~actually~ sure why you even have Facebook, ​and yet you spend way more time a day on it than you care to admit.

9. The last time you wrote on someone's wall you were probably 12 ​and asking what science homework was due tomorrow. 

10. And you still remember the days when game requests took over ALL of your notifications. ​God damn you Farmville.

11. On more than one occasion you've been on Facebook on your laptop and clicked on the app on your phone. ​#Guilty.

12. You've succumbed to accepting all your distant relatives' friend requests, ​which means you also have to avoid any photos of tequila belly shots making their way onto your profile. Oops.

13. You've come to the realisation it's basically just a selection of people sharing ​other ​social media platforms onto your Facebook. ​Screenshots of Snapchat, links to Instagram...

14. You dread to think what horrific throwback pictures are lurking in the deepest, darkest depths of your photo albums, ​waiting to come out when your friends fancy a stalk.

15. For reasons unknown, the threat of being fraped(horrible term) is still a very real reality. ​Are we all meant to be adults or what?

16. And the struggle between tagged photos and uploaded photos ​goes a little bit like this:

​17. You've done a mass delete of 'friends' from when you were younger, ​only for those people to awkwardly add you again a few months later. "NO I DON'T WANT YOU STALKING MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT".
