Feedback on the current Like system...

[CapricornFarm]

Come Monday, I shall be taking a leave of absence. I apologize for such a short notice.

For I am checking into the Betty Ford Clinic.
I need to get my compulsive urges to LIKE people and their contributions.
I have noticed recently that there has been a spike in my likes for others and perhaps I should show a little more self control.
I have been using a sponge squeeze stress ball instead of the LIKE button and I noticed I am wearing a hole in it.
Perhaps the kind folks at Betty Ford can help me resist the urge to like as much. Of course for a modest fee.
But I feel that money is well spent just knowing that I will not develop carpal tunnel syndrome for liking posts from the BYC community.

Connie, how many likes have you posted? I am afraid i may need to check in there too!

I am clearly a person that has enough self esteem to not need an artificial gratification system perpetuated by people with low self-esteem needing the dopamine boost from others with low self-esteem.....

I am simply a heavenly person....Wonderful in all aspects...
Almost a being just below the mythical Roman gods....

Betty Ford will starve to death on what she earns treating one as perfect as I .....

I thought I had posted the above from my laptop... But did not see it... But it was blocking my iPhone from posting.....is someone testing my strong patient personality???


Still Betty Ford free here.

Twelve Steps of BYC Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over BYC - that our watched threads list had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that giving up social networking could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our News Feed over to the posts of others.

4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our BYC posts and comments.

5. Admitted to God, ourselves, and in a BYC post the exact extent of our
addiction.

6. Were entirely ready to have all our passwords deleted.

7. Humbly removed all our photos.

8. Made a list of all the friends we don't know personally and became willing to un-follow or ignore them.

9. Un-followed people wherever possible, except when to do so would embarrass them or others.

10. Continued to take inventory of our posts and if we were posting too
frequently, promptly admit it.

11. Sought through personal contact to improve our face-to-face relationships
with real people, asking only for the willpower to avoid checking in on
BYC.

12. Having had an awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this
message to other BYC addicts...

...and immediately decided the best way to do this was by posting about our recovery on Facebook.


SERENITY PRAYER FOR BYC USERS

Lord, help me to post about the things I can change, to comment on the things
I cannot change, and the wisdom to know when to "like."
