Not a wind up and im sure your straight. Not that smiley faces would make you gay or anything based on my perception on what makes a person gay or not.0 -
I agree. OP I think I can spot your problem, and it's not Facebook. For someone who is accepting of their role in life, you sure seem to complain about it a lot. And find lots of things to blame for that. You might want to try having a look at yourself.
Your depiction of people is that they are shallow and unforgiving. Yes, some people are. Most are not. Nobody finds someone "creepy" because they don't use social media. They find somebody "creepy" when they go off on unnecessary homophobic rants, or expect to be best buddies with their work colleagues when all they want to do is get on with their job so that they can have a life.
You have quit jobs because you don't have friends at work. Yay, staying power! You have a record of being dismissed. That's why you can't find employment- nothing to do with Facebook, and everything to do with you.
If you want to sit around wasting your life, then that's your call. But don't blame everything and everyone else for your failure. It's not them that's the problem, it's you.
This was posted by a perfectly happy (most of the time, although the government does get me down, and I think the electorate are insane) disabled single woman, with a few very close friends and a lot of acquaintances, a job and no social media accounts. If you did my job you wouldn't want a social media account, you wouldn't ever have privacy settings that allow colleagues to see your account - and you certainly wouldn't friend a single person you work with!
Your right maybe in highnsight i could have had more staying power but nit while people were drawing attention to my lack of work conversation which was effecting my moral at staying there.
I did not mean to protest or cause offence to homosexuals but with my experience of life so far in this world i have come to experience people that have this position on people and that why proactivelt pre guessed that somebody would type this in their reply to me. Just like they might assume in life.0 -
That's how it comes across to me too, and the bold bit is in itself homophobic, is it not?
It seems a rather strange thing to have focussed on in a post on an employment forum.
No offence to homosexuals.

It's completely irrelevant though, why would anybody care what your sexual orientation is? Perhaps you haven't noticed but this is 2017 not 1957.

Can I also say that I don't think there's any reason for gay men or women to be lonely, friendless and without a partner in this day and age, so your stereotype is a little out of touch op.
I change my age a bit for posts and i see no option to hide previous threads.0 -
OP, you've answered all the posts taking about your sexuality, but none who have tackled the Facebook issue. Which do you want help with?
I'm also confused about what being an atheist has to do with being gay or not. Gay people can have a faith you know. Your mind seems to work in stereotypes.0 -

Unemployment can mess up a schedule, if less tyred your awake longer and may sleep later into day and sit longer into the night.
It can mess things up.0 -

It can be a stereotypical world sometimes.
I had originally thought FB could show how social somebidy seems but going by the replies, maybe not always.0 -

You can make a choice to maintain a routine through keeping yourself busy and regular exercise. You'll need a good sleep routine for when you find a job.
Would you like some help in job seeking? What are you doing at present to find work?0 -
Just lost a long post and can't be bothered to type it again.
The gist was that you are thinking too much about what others think and certainly too much about whether you come across as gay. To get on at work - be reasonably friendly, work hard and don't be a pain to those around you. You don't need to make best friends in the workplace if you don't want to and nobody cares about your FB page.0
