Top 7 Things That You Must Not Do on Facebook

Let’s admit it, Facebook has become an integral part of our lives. Hardly a day goes by when we do not use it or is not affected by it. In fact, it has been observed that Facebook posts have immense effect on human emotions. People are impacted emotionally by the posts they read or come across on Facebook. In fact, emotions of our friends are said to affect our own emotions.

So, as soon as you are sharing some emotion on Facebook, it’s not remaining confined only to you anymore. Even if you are located at a distance, it is going to affect the emotions of the people who are on your friend list as well. This surely brings upon us a bit of responsibility, which needs to be kept in mind when we are using Facebook.

You surely have a list of friends whose conducts irate you. Surely you don’t want to act in the same way on the social network as they do. Besides, you should also be prudent about using Facebook, so that you don’t use it the wrong way.

What are the most common things that you share on Facebook? Do the types of status that you share seals your place among the most irritating types of Facebook users? You need to be a little wary while drafting your Facebook status update.

So, here’s a list of things that you should never do on Facebook.

DON’T Share Everything

That's the first thing a lot of people needs to understand. There are so many people on Facebook. At least a few hundred of them must be present on your friend list. Each of them must be posting at least something on a regular basis. And you may feel lured to share the same thing with your friends as well. But make sure you select only those things, which might be relevant for everyone. And, of course, refrain from tagging everyone in every post.

DON’T Add and Forget Friends

Facebook is one of the best places to connect with old and forgotten buddies. And to remain in touch with them on a regular basis. You will find a lot of your old friends on Facebook – those whom you had lost touch with. You can add them to your friends list on Facebook. But in most of the cases it is observed that people forget to remain in touch with their friends even after adding them to their Facebook friend lists. So, you should try to strike a conversation with them every now and then. This will help you remain in touch with the friends, even years after you have added them on your Facebook friends list.

DON’T Share Your Routine

Nobody wants to know how you spent every second of your day. Or, something that has happened to you, which is not at all important to anyone else. So, you should never go about updating your status like what you did that afternoon or what your plans are for the night – not until they are also going to be a part of it. So, it’s better not to post every detail of how you spent your day or your plans on Facebook.

DON’T Show Your Quarrelsome Side

Don’t use Facebook as a war platform. You might not like a person. You might have a deep hatred for him. But that does not mean that you will be bringing the swords out on his Facebook wall. At least not if you don’t want the world to know about this combating side of yours.

DON’T Have Personal Conversations on Facebook

If you want no misunderstanding with your friend or partner, then this is a strict no-no. Chats on Facebook, just like the text messages, are the perfect things to create confusions. You might see your logic often misinterpreted, as it is not communicated in the best way while doing it on Facebook. Hence, it is important that you carry out such important conversations in person, rather than relying on Facebook.

DON’T Engage in Stalking

A study has revealed some statistics about cyber stalking. It shows that in the online world, stalkers mostly haunt:

• Facebook – 16%
• Twitter – 3%
• YouTube – 1.5%

So, if you like someone, there’s always a chance that you are following that person on Facebook. Even if you have added her as a friend, refrain from checking out every detail about the person on the social media profile. It’s not difficult to find someone on Facebook if you look for him or her. But that does not mean that you should use this platform to stalk that person.

DON’T Spy on Your Partner

Now, that’s getting too personal. If you have trust issues with your partner in your relationship, Facebook can be one of the best places where you can keep an eye on her activities. Or even, you might not be having any such issue at all. Yet, you may feel jealous or go through your partner’s profile for no specific reason at all. But that's absolutely not what you should do. Facebook's not the place to do that.

DON’T Upload Your Drunk Picture

Believe me, no one wants to see it. You might have had a blast last night. You might have gone to the disco and had been drinking all night. But that does not mean that you will have to upload a drunk picture or a selfie the next morning. It looks really awkward. So, better chuck this idea of sharing your drunk image.

Facebook is one of the best platforms to connect with people. Moreover, it can be a great place for marketing your business as well. However, you need to refrain from doing these things to have a positive result from your Facebook endeavors.
