I have both a facebook page and a myspace page...I use the myspace probably 10x as much as facebook. I think I only have it because I have a few friends that refuse to join the myspace crowd (it has its drawbacks too) but I have about 10 friends on facebook and well over 100 on myspace (people I actually know). I guess I haven't noticed the issues that you bring up because I use it so infrequently...so yes, I'd say there is a chance that you are on some level a self-hating masochist - or maybe you're just bored.
