Help me understand this

Why do people take "FB breaks" and then come back on to say how productive they were and how they may leave FB for good. What's the fucking point? Does it feel that great to pretend you are superior in some ridiculous, arbitrary way? If you are going to drop FB just drop it. Theatrics are not necessary.

Because people are idiots.

yes.  these are the same people who take unnecessary pride in drinking black coffee and hating reality television.

For attention - the same as every FB post.

My guess is for the attention, they want to hear everyone say how much they were missed.

I am beginning to hate fb for a variety of reasons and this is one of them. It such an enabler for stupidity and the bad kind of AW-ing.

What's worse than the break is the announcement of it, either before or after.

Yes. I think taking a break is fine. It's the announcement that makes me roll the eyes.

For attention. I love it when they're back on posting shit 2 days later.
