Tbh if some is a really frequent poster, I find it a bit of a warning sign like somethings not right
Perhaps that's just been the people I know though?

I agree, the people that post throughout the day, really inane things like checking in at the hairdressers or the shops. It's like they need constant reassurance or to know others know what they're doing. It smacks of being afraid to be by themselves.

Absolutely, I often find their posts are rarely anything like the lives they lead too.
Usually either seeking sympathy or making out all is great, I find it very sad, I've deleted FB for those reasons.

Yes, I know what you mean. There’s someone I know who posts constantly but, as she posts so often, she doesn’t get many reactions or responses. I suspect this makes her more anxious and she then posts even more.

Does it matter?
I mean, if it's someone you know who is doing something a bit out of character then it makes sense to reach out and check in, but otherwise just let people be.
