Yes, I did deactivate - but lasted about 1 day before logging back in! I'm hopeless.
But if it's a person bothering you - you can hide all their posts - so you don't see anything about them.
I have just recently done this, as I was entirely fed up of seeing constant bullhonkey this person was making up. I deleted said person once, and that caused no-end of drama, so re-friended, but just now hide all their posts so they don't wind me up!!
Good luck

I was really worried about deleting most of my colleagues but I don't think they've noticed (they know I've been on & off all year). It made me feel so much better!

I deactivated my personal account last July! Best thing I ever did...
I've never even had the urge to activate it again, & I never will!
I had about 800 idiots on there. Ok some people were decent but most weren't.
I use to get sick of....
My kids are my world. Love you millions, your my everything. (who cares? I dont! & I didn't realise your 3 week old baby could read this dedication, the clever little thing) lol
Or really competitive people who would have their kids next years Xmas presents bought & wrapped 2 days after this Xmas.... & would put 935 photos of each & every present up on Facebook... Then proceed to say how much they'd spent & how their kids had the best of everything bla bla bla
god that grated on me lol ok so we see you have a spoilt brat, now please stop clogging my news feeds.
I must've deleted someone everyday.. I'd go past people in the street & get filthy looks because they knew I'd unfriended them hahaha
Oh dear & another that'd get on my wick was a full commentary on someones daily life...
beans on toast for my brekky, put my pink socks & green knickers on. then decide if I'm wearing my skinny jeans or leggings, then nip to asda get summat in for tea, home, Hoover & mop, go to the toilet, get a shower, go to the toilet again, cup of tea with 6 rich tea biscuits, watch emmerdale & get in bed Zzzzzzz night peeps
Grrrrrr My tounge got bitten several times reading dilly statuses like that. lol

Can you deactivate your personal Facebook but still keep your business page?
I de-activated at Christmas and don't miss it at all! I got sick of reading what my neighbours were having for tea. Then when they split up they discussed their break up in detail!
I think it's brill for keeping in touch with old friends and looking at their photo's but I now e-mail them instead.
I also found it difficult not to visit my teenage daughters page and nosey at what she was doing!!

I only use it to communicate with my family and some friends back in Australia. I have one English friend on there who just loves bragging about her new Jimmy Choo shoes and Louis Vouton handbags. Yes, she's loaded, but does she have to rub everyone's face in it?

I deactivated mine about 6 months ago and I haven't looked back - I'm quite a private person and it really wasn't me at all but I'd had it since uni. It did serve a purpose in that it was how me and my boyf communicated when we first met but I don't have any need for it now - it was a relief to close it down and I don't miss it at all! My close friends I keep in touch with by text and email and that suits me just fine

I deactivated mine for about six months and then went back. It was for purely selfish reasons - I was sick of hearing about pregnant friends and seeing all their pictures! I can't have any more kids and it used to upset me so much to see all these people having babies. Anyways, I got a grip and realised its not other peoples fault - they've got a right to be happy about their situation.
Facebook is all about 'the grass is always greener'. Other people's lives seem perfect. They have the perfect job/husband/house etc. In reality they probably haven't. I'm lucky that I never had any b*****s on Facebook but I deleted anyone who had a consistently negative attitude or bragged about their lifestyle.
It's weird, but I prefer SG now. Even though it's a professional forum there's a good opportunity for a good old chit chat and opinion. Maybe it's because nobody knows who you are. On FB I can't say anything without my mother ringing me the next day saying "I hear you were up drinking vodka last night"!
Love all, Jo xx
