Stop Facebook Stalking Your Ex

With the introduction of such social websites as Facebook and MySpace, its become way too easy to keep up with the activities of other people. Granted, a lot of the members know all about how to keep things private and just between themselves and other members. On the other hand, theres a significant number of people that have no concept of how to keep their pages private, which leaves them open to having anyone that wants to look at whats going on in their lives. Its because of this that its become so easy for people to stalk their exes and keep up with what theyre doing and who theyre dating. If youre someone thats been Facebook stalking your ex, you need to stop doing that right now. Its one of the unhealthiest activities that you can engage in. All youre doing is making yourself even more miserable than you were when the breakup first happened. What good does it really do you to know that hes dating that girl that you always thought was a slut and you knew was hitting on him while the two of you were together? Does that validate you in some way? Think about how sad of a person this makes you. Every time you sit down at your computer, you immediately head to Facebook so that you can read his updates and check out his friends list to see if anyone new has been added. You dont care about current events in the world or even whats going on in the lives of your best friends and family. Instead, you live for the moment when you can, once again, be on Facebook and monitoring in detail what your ex has been up to. To begin with, stalking him this way isnt going to bring him back to you. Knowing who hes with now also isnt going to do any positive things for your state of mind. What it does do is make you kind of a scary person, and a good candidate for a restraining order if he ever finds out what youre doing. Instead of spending your waking hours stalking your ex in this way, why not do something healthier for yourself. The first thing would be to stay off of your computer until youre positive that you can resist camping out on your exs Facebook page. If needed, get a trusted friend to baby sit your computer so that you can be strong. Next, get out of the house! Dont sit home sulking and moping over what your ex may or may not be doing right that very second. Instead, go out with some friends to one of your favorite places. If youre not ready to date, thats fine. You dont have to. Just make it a girls night out. The point is that you wont be at home lurking about on your exs Facebook page but rather out and having a good time like a normal person. Never assume that Facebook stalking your ex is normal behavior. Its obsessive and something that you need to move past in order to improve your quality of life.
