I wondered why websites like Facebook is so famous. Then I found the answers. One is that you can reach your friends no matter where they are. The other one, the more important one is that you can see what other people are thinking and express what you think as well. Also this makes you wonder what other people would say about your pictures, your statuses, or your comments. People always want to fit in because we are social animals. I read in some psychology book that if someone keeps avoiding interacting with other people, then there must be some problems in that person's life, since we cannot live without social contact. I agree with whoever said that, and Facebook used that theory very well. We always have to interact with others and we always wonder and care what others think about us. But if you think about it, it's the same for everyone. Let's say some people said something that makes you feel lame. But I bet that same person is afraid of someone else doing the same thing to him or her. I guess we will never get out of this caring-about-what-other-people-think-about-me thing because of the same reason I explained above, but let's try not to care too much. Because after all, it is our own lives, and the main characters are us, not some stupid girl who tells you you're fat and ugly or some football player who looks down on you. And remember that they also are scared of the same thing as you.
