9 Biggest Mistakes People Make on Facebook
6. Posting self-glorifying messages
There is nothing more detestable than posting self-glorifying messages. Why would people want to read how noble or charming you are?
7. Using Facebook only for business
If you are using your Facebook account to only sell, promote or persuade people to make use of your services or buy your products, it is a big mistake you are committing. Even if you are running a business and want to show that on Facebook, make at least half your posts personal, else you will soon be removed from friend lists.
8. Falling for scams
While Facebook largely keeps a tab on scam, not all such troubles get caught in the filter. Requests for money, help, blind dates or charity solicitation may not all be safe but instead traps to lure the ignorant. So stop falling for such scams.
9. Venting your gripes
Who doesn’t have gripes? You have them against your partner, boss, family member or friend. And posting them on Facebook is the most foolish of things to do. The presence of this person on Facebook is immaterial but he or she is bound to know about it through other sources. So, save your face.
So watch out for these known and unknown perils and give yourself the benefit of doubt when an alarm bell rings in your mind before you do something drastic on Facebook.
