was not meant for them,” and Mimi finished, stating; “It is crazy [that they trust Facebook more]…” Often when I asked my friends about these cases of flirtation, saying: “what did you mean with this post?” Alternatively, “if it were meant for someone special,” the girls would giggle and say; “yes, it´s this cute guy,” but never mention who he is. The boys would often toughen up and avoid answering; “no, it’s nothing.” Some of the posts were also deleted after a while. Dedan told me that he would go through his feed and delete these posts after some time, the girl should have seen it already, and that he would prevent a potential new flirt from seeing it. It is a big difference then, to talk about this out loud and to write online. Facebook is in some ways used as a tool to communicate feelings or affection; even arguments and conflict would happen online rather than in “real life.” One could then argue that the emotions are manifested into expressed feelings in an online environment. Lambert´s informants made him conclude as follow: “The way which Facebook mediated people, combined with the way people embody and objectify themselves, sometimes leads to a form of socio-ontological insecurity which favors the offline world as the site of the ‘real’.”(Lambert, 2013, p. 138). In his case, Facebook is described as a “false world reality” you do not want to get too entangled in. This is, however, quite the opposite of what I was experiencing. With my informants, Facebook provides a reality which sometimes feels more real and open, or like Pemala described it; a free space. This does not, however, include everyone, but the connection is there. Since Facebook does not, in this view, mediate people, but instead offer a facility to carry out the conversation or perform the feeling. The internet, or Facebook in this case, is no longer merely another tool that people use, but an environment within which they operate and live, and therefore it would be natural that it is a place to express feelings as well. (Benski & Fisher, p. 1) Unni Wikan, while working in Bali, talked about resonance which can be explained as a shared human experience. She writes that “Resonance demands something of both reader and author… …a willingness on the part of both to engage whit another world, life, or idea”(Wikan, 1990, p. 269). This argument can be transferred to the communication of emotion expressed on Facebook amongst young adults in Yangon. In writing these particular status up-dates, it would be an expectation of the other part to understand, to resonate with the message. This then raise the question on privacy. How do people in Yangon interpret privacy? 69
