Are you looking for funny status updates? Messages that will make you look cool and smart on facebook? Well, sorry to say that, but get a grip, you got it all wrong.

Being cool and funny is NOT measured by what you post on facebook, it is measured by your activities in REAL LIFE, focus on the latter instead of your virtual social networking world.

OK, that may have caught you by surprise, but shocking is sometimes more effective than being politically correct. I invite you to take a step back and think about what you are doing:

• You are spending time and energy trying to find something clever to write on your status. Why?


• To catch people's attention and make them think your life is cool?


• But if you are enjoying your life, why do you really need to advertise it on facebook?


• Why don't you try to get attention in your real life instead? By being successful in your job, helping your community or spending time with good friends.

By searching for cool facebook statuses you are just looking to substitute something you are missing: attention in your REAL life. Instead of looking for a substitute, I suggest you directly face the problem. Go out, talk to people around you, volunteer, ask, answer, interact in real life. Facebooking seems easier since you can do it from your couch, but all it creates is a fake sense of community, it deceives you and when you'll need some real support, the brutal truth of loneliness will hit you hard.

Think again if you are addicted to facebook or if you have become one of these annoying types of facebookers. Follow this blog to get facebook slowly out of your life and forget about funny status updates. Maybe it's time to update your real social life instead.
