I find that I'm addicted to Facebook and I want to acquire as many friends as possible, take lots of photos of myself in social settings, get as many wall posts as I can and give people the impression that I'm popular. I find that this is intruding into my life and interfering with my life since I log onto Facebook everyday!
How can I break this addiction? I have low self-esteem and I feel intimidated by popular, sociable people and I want to show them that I'm someone.

You answered part of this question in your question when you said "I have Low self esteem" But it's much more than that.
Much of your problem has to do with culture conditioning. You have allowed yourself to become a victom of the sick pop culture of youth in todays world.
What the world has to offer you, is not what you need. What you need to break your addiction you wont find out in the world of your friends, what others think about you, in money, or toys.
What you seek comes from within. Finding it can be very difficult. It requires stillness.
Many people don't know how to be still and listen to what their soul needs. They have no idea what the power of zen or chi is, or how powerful peace from within can be, and what it can do for you.
You are now on the path to self enlightenment. Your journey on this path started with a truth revealed and knowledge concoured of the addiction you have been suffering from in the desire to be noticed as someone you are not.
You understand that the termoil of the lie you've been living is keeping you from the peace and power you know you need. This is a big first step in your recovery from the pop culture that is threatining you and many like you.
Life is not a competition, it's a learning phase.
Don't beleive every thing you hear and only half of what you see. There are unseen forces that threaten to destroy you. They influance us all in more ways than you can imagin. This is why you need to learn how to spend more time in meditation and seek the real you. I promess you, once you get to know the real you, you'll have no care about how many friends you have or what they think about you. Finding the real you can break the chains of bondage that hold you back from living life as you were designed to. I think you'll find that you can be your own best friend, and you will love who you are because the real you might be a super cool dude who is full of compation, desire, ceativness, and passion for what is really good.
Pray hard my friend, life is short.

Many girls break up with their significant others, is because they need time to figure things out. Don't take it personally, if you want her back, you have to show her you can help her. If you love her then you'll let her go, that's it. Not everybody who you date in high school you end up staying with, the chances are extremely unlikely. So if she doesn't want to, then you need to let her go.

ok. first of all, shut off the computer. then, don't turn it back on. instead, call up one of your friends, and go hang out. go to the movies, join a club or activity, start a nature walk group.
Other people don't care what your standings are on facebook, because if you're not like how you act on facebook in real life, then they might not want to be your friend anymore because you gave out false impressions. basically, no good relationship can come from the internet these days. especially with all the wackos out there. if you want to become popular, then you need to spend time with people. not the computer.

Being sociable and popular is not the "be all and end all" of life. What's wrong with having just a few close friends? I find that many people use Facebook just to show off about how great their lives are - when in reality they are lonely and lacking in confidence just like you. In fact, I have looked up a few old friends on Facebook and one ex-boyfriend of mine had put 42 pictures of himself on there! I just thought, what a w*nker!
So stop logging onto Facebook. Spend time with close friends, go out for drinks and work on your real relationships. Forget Facebook, its not real, and anyone can say anything about themselves on there - it doesn't have to be true. Stop trying to find happiness in collecting friends in a virtual world, because it isn't half as satisfying as being with real people. And who are you trying to impress anyway? Most people are just obsessed with themselves to notice how many friends you have anyway.

You should leave the net and go out , see people face to face ,join to a sport game,social community,visit your friends,go out with them,learn a new language , it's much better than sitting infront of your computer all the day.
