To think Facebook should’ve told me it would post on my behalf…

When I signed up to run 31 miles in May for Marie Curie 😭 I’m so embarrassed, because it’s given me a £150 goal and I won’t hit that 😭😭😭

That’s so annoying. One of the reasons I hate social media. Why do these companies assume we want to be posting??? I’d comment on the post something about not feeling they need to donate or something and it will vanish from feeds fairly quickly. It does this when you change your profile picture too. I was mortified.

Oh no! Odd that it posted automatically but can you just delete it? Also well done for running 31 miles, that’s so impressive!

The only option is to “hide” it, which means it won’t show when your profile is searched but it will still show on other people’s newsfeeds 😭

It doesn’t let you!! I think it’s because it’s a charity challenge, you obviously have to try to fundraise. I was just going to share the link with my friends and family but they posted it 😭
