Just a discussion, not a rant. I know a couple of people who are genuinely lovely in real life but the biggest attention seekers on social media. Constant navel gazing and ‘inspirational’ posts about how much they’ve learned, how much they’ve improved themselves and in one case, very very long statuses about family and how proud they are of their kids blah blah blah.
I read it and eye roll because it really does seem to be purely for likes and validation. Why else post? In real life I get along with these people as friends, family and colleagues but their Facebook personas are irritating. I don’t post often and mainly use Facebook to find out about local events and news. I don’t engage but then feel bad when I see mutual friends gushing in the comments because it’s almost like not saying anything is a snub.
