Is it normal to not have a facebook?

I don't have a Facebook and when I tell people this, they look at me like I'm an endangered species. Seriously. It's gotten so bad that now, I half-expect people to whip out of a pair of binoculars and start snapping photos... I'm having a difficult time grasping the concept that it's really THAT rare to not have a Facebook, and while I personally don't see the appeal of the site but I have to ask - is it normal?

    I deleted my facebook because it annoyed me and I realized that I really didn't care about most of the people on there. You're not only normal, you're awesome.

    I think it's normal and rational. The spooks use that website to identify people all the time. Anyhow, people will just be people. They follow the herd and jump on to the next "popular" trend. Some people are very shallow and perceive those that don't follow a strict set of socially constructed popularity rules as "losers" or inferior. Just goes to show you how many people are preoccupied with senseless things and how shallow they can be. Facebook is nothing more than a fad, along with all the popular things. With time, they will just fade away and people will find the next popular thing. Be yourself and to hell with the people and whats popular or "normal".

      listen up folks- if you are happy by yourself, being yourself - then just be HAPPY! That is all. please don't feel insecure and open a Facebook account just because 'someone' thinks you should. All those so-called 'cued in' people are wasting their time and electricity ! Go with your gut feeling about such things.take care all ! - - badabada :)

    Not everyone wants facebook.

    Some people, for example, spend way too much time there worrying or whining about what their friends or boyfriends are doing or posting there.

    If people whine at you about it, tell them that you prefer face-to-face communication instead of childish dramarama. :-)

    (and if those people are themselves involved in the childish drama it will offend them enough that they leave you alone)

    Don't make one. I remember what it was like without facebook, myspace, and I'm only 21. Those days were so much simpler.

    Yeah, totally normal. I don't have a facebook either and don't plan on it. Several people have tried to convince me to get one to no avail.

    I have never joined such things. I don't want my life on the Internet. I also have family and friends who are upset with me because I dont have one. They argue that they can't share their pictures with me. I just say to email them to me. I have yet gotten any pictures. Doesnt hurt my feelings any. You are normal.

    I don't hate facebook but I hate it when people expect me to constantly look at the crap they post and bug me about it in real life.

    It's not common but it's normal. If you're family is upset and wants to share pics with you, you could just make an account but not put any info on it and just add your family members as friends so you can see their pictures.
