AIB Ridiculously Sensitive

[Bathsheba]

(Backgropund - close family death at the weekend, funeral tomorrow, huge arguement last night with Mr Bath - unrelated but I guess all important background)

One of the Worship Leaders from my Church has recently posted the following as her status on Facebook

"Im fed up of Facebook and very insecure people using it for LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME ! Am I good enough, Am I fit enough, ME ME ME ME ME oh boy get a life !!!!"

She is a Worship Leader and her joib is as a Fitness teacher. She is very well known in the church.

AIB Ridiculously sensitive to really want to "call" her on how NASTY that just sounds - its so intolerant. I have a known issue with self confidence, and I certainly now know who NOT to go to...

I think it's funny how ME ME ME and attention seeking her comment is

yes i think you are being a bit sensitive. unless she is talking about you? i would just ignore this. she must have missed the irony in her own update btw.

xpost with hec glad i wasn't the only one thinking that!

Two words, "pot", "kettle". Just post that!

I doubt very much she is talking about me - I really don't figure on her radar very much.

She has indicated that she is including herself in the people who have "fallen into the trap of looking to facebook for validation"...

The way I see it is Church leaders are human too, and are entitled to a bitch and moan as much as the next person. As they haven't named anybody, it's not like they have breeched confidentiality, so if you were to go to her about your confidence issus she should still keep that confidential.
OTOH I agree that it doesn't sound very tolerant, but maybe she has had a bad day/has annoying relatives/friends!

Well you could always suggest she close her account if she hates it that much. And no you wouldn't be wrong to pull her up on her own attention seeking comment.

No you aren't. Presumably her role is voluntary. It is therefore paramount that she makes sure she does her utmost to be professional and act as would be expected of a worship leader.

I'm not sure what you'd gain from calling her on it though.

Her post is extremely unprofessional and she has done herself no favours - now people know what she is really like. Not sure you ought to get involved though - don't see how it can end well for you.

Perhaps a little sensitive as you know it´s not about you.

But it´s the sort of thing that would change my opinion of someone to "prat"!

Stay clear of it. Just let other people realise she's a bit of a prat.

Hope you feel a bit happier soon.

I believe the response to that sort of post (as practiced on here) is 'off ye fuck then'.

Oooooh spooky Prat X-Posts!

haha at her post:o me me me look at me look at me

A simple "ah, how ironic" would be a good response.

Passive agressive? Me?

My favourite passive-aggressive response is

'Indeed.'

Shocking- she may be church leader, but she has zero awareness.

Bathsheba I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can.

Nothing on Facebook is real, so you can just ignore it.

I also like "duly noted" *LineRunner"

ah...bold fail.

But don't many on MN say the same thing but much more tactful? That many people live their lives on Facebook instead of in real life?

Do my name in bold Madame, it's all about ME ME ME

How unprofessional of her.

I WOULDN'T ENTER INTO A DISCUSSION WITH HER -ffs caps lock- I would just ignore her silly comments.

And yes - pot/kettle!!!!

And she's big in your church?! Wow. She doesn't sound like empathy and tolerance is her strong point.

I think YANBU and if she feels that way she can just leave fb alone. She is completely right in her observations of course, but is no better than the people she is whingeing about!

People are allowed to rant ont heir facebook I spose she was having an off day and maybe was needing a bit attention herself fed up of replying to peoples own rants , I would have asked her if she was ok as its not like her to lose the plot rant like that ,
