I’m prepared to be told that IBU

My house went up for sale on Monday. Lots of interest.

anyway, it’s worth noting that I’m not a prolific user of Facebook but I have it and I don’t mind it. I don’t get sent any notifications so have to go into the app. My friend posted the right move link to my house on Facebook yesterday and tagged me in the post saying “My friend youngoldagain’s house is up for sale…”

I have never posted pictures inside my house on social media so no one would ever know that the house is mine and there’s nothing identifiable in the pictures so if you looked at the house on rightmove you wouldn’t know it was mine.

there are comments underneath commenting on the house (all positive) but I just feel a bit off about people seeing into my house and passing comment. All her friends and all of mine can see it.

im aware I probably sound very precious - I’m not. I just find social media a bit overwhelming and this feels a bit intrusive?

Should I say “I really appreciate your help in trying to get my house sold but would prefer if you had kept me anonymous..”?

It'd be nice if she checked but anyone who's interested can see it on rightmove anyway. If a friend or neighbour puts their house up for sale I always have a look on rightmove. Your friends probably would have had a nosy anyway

She probably should have checked, but anyone could see or share it as it's all in the public domain so it doesn't make much difference really. Assuming you don't mind your friends seeing your house!

Anyone can see it on Rightmove but they wouldn't know it's the OP though!

No I wouldn't like that but then I don't post anything personal/identifying online.

But surely your friends have seen inside your house, and your friends’ friends are only going to take a marginal interest and say something vaguely nice, because they know you can see their comments?

I'd be really put out by that.

I don’t really want hundreds of people knowing it’s my house (I think she has about 700 friends on Facebook).

if she’d asked if have told her if was sharing it to not tag me in it.
