Can canceling Facebook be a good thing?

Lately I have found that Facebook is no fun. People are just pissing me off. People don't respond and quite sadly I have been on the receiving end of some distasteful embarrassing remarks by so called friends because they misinterpret what I have said jokingly. Its kinda like walking on eggshells. Sometimes I think Hotmail is honestly a better option and is more personal and private. I will miss it if I go but I really find its bugging me. I have moments when I vent and thats when certain people will either agree or take offense. Anticipating feedback, and seeing how others get more responses than myself shows that my network of friends is shallow compared to others. Is canceling a good thing for the disgruntled few like myself.
