  8.  @Hachizukatenzo  - The problem with FB is that it is the objective of the algorithm to increase your time on FB. SO you have very noble intentions, but your noble intentions are time limited and that is antithetical to FB objectives. So FB is constantly - drip drip drip DRIP DRIP feeding you things to engage you in something, anything to keep you there. And given enough time it will find a subject you are "passionate" about - a subject that you will argue about. And then it hones inn on that, it worked out what triggers you and promotes your comments to people who will agree strongly - to re enforce your opinion and to p[eople who will violently and idiotically disagree - in a way that it knows WILL trigger you into a reaction. None of this is by accident - it is constantly trying to keep you - and everyone else - on there as long as possible as many times a day as possible, cos that is the way they make money - getting adverts in front of your face. This is where it differs from forums, or Reddit, or even youtube - the very core of the business model of FB is to create outrage and to radicalise people. Twitter and Instagram and all those are not healthy - but they are nothing like as twisted and perverted as the core of FB's business model - the CO-FOUNDER has publically warned Zuckerburg that he has to stop this, it is destroying society - but Zuckerburg is a sociopath with a messiah complex and will not listen. FB stands in a league of its own fort evilness. P.S. Only superficial narcissists have moved to IG / TicTok /etc. The really dangerous narcissists use FB as there is way more opportunity for interaction and narcs need interaction to forge a bond with people in order to manipulate them and obtain what we call "narcissistic supply". I literally NEVER get asked to help with a problem with a narcissist on any social media platform except FB. Posting 50,000 pictures of yourself does not hurt other people...

  10.  @elyssay3157  - Ok I am going to send you a link to a study in a separate comment cos YouTube often deletes messages with outside links thinking they are spam and I don't want to have to re-type this. If you cont get it just Google "Frontiers in Psychology Facebook study". The problem with these studies is they tend to focus on ONE specific question and the answer to any Facebook related question is "yes it makes you more miserable" or similar. The issue is the combined effect - it makes everyone more miserable the longer you are on it and the more "friends" you have on there, but combine that with external stresses [they have to eliminate or account for these in studies for obvious reasons] and it is a multiplying effect. My job - it is on the whole incredibly rewarding. I work for free [my income comes from the books I have written] so it would have to be pretty rewarding to do it for free. Ill be honest - you get numb to the horror. I have clients that have been set on fire, I have clients that have been turned into drug addicts, beaten if they want to stop the drugs, clients who have been systematically tortured, raped, cut, abused, you name it. But its like the green numbers in the matrix movie. Its background, its their story but it does not affect me [I cant let it] and it does not actually affect their recovery very much. There is little difference between coming to terms with the psychological effects of any of the things I have just mentioned. Abuse is abuse, trauma is trauma, and the human mind deals with them all in remarkably similar ways.
