My point exactly. I can't for the life of me see how Facebook can be so addictive (based on the application itself).

If you're the type of person who HAS to know what other people are doing, then 'yes' Facebook will take over your life.

I'm always so busy (and can careless of the day-2-day of people) that I'm barely on the platform. And when I am, its probably for 5-10 mins every month (unless someone Messages me).

I'm thinking that closing your account may slowdown your addiction, but there are other apps, sites, avenues to be 'in the know'.

Maybe Facebook in this case means all social networking apps?
