Yeah, I had a similar reaction. I guess I'm selfish: I just don't care about what's going on in others' lives if it doesn't impact me. I also don't share what's going on in my life with the Internet, unless I think it would interest or help someone else like me. (E.g. I started a blog last fall. It has 3 posts. Every post has over 700 words. Social media just isn't my bag.)
I tried using Facebook for about a month, and got overwhelmed with the amount of boring and infuriating crap that goes through the service. It felt like reading chain emails from the 90s. Why would anyone subject themselves to that level of banality?
As you say, different strokes for different folks. It just doesn't do anything for me.
