Ya know, Facebook saved me when I was holed up alone with a dying man for 48 hours. I created a tiny group of close friends who know what the fuck was going on and I was not so alone, I could yatter away in the middle of the night and if none of them were there at that precise moment, they were soon. But I didn't have to have them come to the house or talk on the phone.

But I'm also perfectly capable of avoiding it if I want to. However, I believe that hiding away from other people's happiness is not necessarily a healthy approach. I prefer the approach of admitting when it's a little hard to swallow and stepping away. And maybe using a place where they will never see it so it can't hurt them for a little cathartic ranting.
