To think 'feeling blessed' is a disguised brag

[stupenoushorrendous]

Lighthearted

The status update starter "I'm feeling blessed because......." shouldn't end with a brag about what you have materially.

Am I alone in noticing this and has anyone got some funny examples to share?

I just read one "feeling blessed because my gorgeous hubby bought me some amazing presents"

So totally over the jealous arsehole brigade who appear every year to turn excitement and gratitude into negative emotions because it makes them feel better about their own sad lives.
I'm sorry if you aren't happy with your gifts or aren't feeling blessed by God or some other diety, but don't take it out of the rest of us.

I am blessed by that great 'diety'Robert Atkins, Praise the Lard

Im happy with my day..family..gifts..all of it. Probably why I don't feel the need to document it on the hour every hour and upload "look at me me meeee pics". Im winding down perfectly happily now. Ohhhh the misery...

UNFRIEND IMMEDIATELY

I used to have a Facebook "friend" who did this all the fucking time. What finished it for me is she has written a book (well to clarify she got a ghost writer to write the book as she is so fucking thick) about love and tolerance and then when Alan Henning got brutally killed, used the poor guy's death to advertise said book and gain donations to pay her ghost writer. She even got his name wrong and called him Alan Hemming.

Every day brag brag brag. She has got engaged to a very thick rich guy and now brags incessantly about cars, holidays etc etc.

Always that "feeling blessed" emotion thing.

Since unfriending her my blood pressure has gone down a bit. If she was still my FB friend I would be in coronary care by now she was so fucking irritating.

Wow that was cathartic-feeling blessed.

There needs to be feeling horny or feeling pissed.

I think we should have a dislike button of a thumb pointing down and a fuck off button of the blue hand flipping the bird. I really wish someone would create a Facebook add-on with those hand signals.

YANBU. I found the phrase irritating when it was mostly just celebrities who said it, I find it no less annoying now it is becoming common parlance.

I keep seeing a little face then either feeling blessed etc after it, whats this all about? its like a little emoticon with words, how do these appear?

and FWIW, the facebook is full of people desperate to talk about themselves and their exciting lives, just incase we didnt know how blessed they are

#feelingstabby

FB is for talking about your life.

I think you must be doing it wrong.

Well what is the alternative? Lucky? Do I actually believe in luck? Not really. Was it me- do I deserve all the good stuff?....erm not really either...but I don't want to be miserable either. I don't do FB, thank God. ^No one would want to read my drivel...

I'd rather see feeling blessed, (which yes is mostly a stealth brag), than feeling spoilt which makes me feel vomity.
Wouldn't mind but most of those people harping on FB about how great a time they're having are in shitty relationships 364 days a year, but Chuck a few pressies their way and apparently it's all fine...!

It is weird how people use FB. I use it to chronicle my thoughts and life. I do not really use it to interact with others and I put things on like "really pissed off today, fucking hate my sister". I could not really give a rats arse whether people "Like" my statuses or not. However I was a bit perplexed when I was ranting on there about some burglar who broke into our house and my SIL chose to "Like" that status. That is the only time in 4 years she has ever liked one of my statuses which is a bit weird.

I occasionally use it at the end of a status because I do actually feel blessed in that situation. Not usually about material things though and I apologise if it's construed as boasting - it certainly isn't meant to be!

velvet, the only people I know who repost these lovey dovey poems all about "love is"...crap are trying to have affairs

I just find fb very attention seeking

This is the type of bollocks that makes me hit the unfriend button:

capsium, grateful?

Alis yep, grateful would fit. All a bit theoretical though for me as can't be arsed with FB.

What is that a picture of ralth? Looks like some sort of mould growing on that person, who is in outer space. Not how I imagine spiritual, which is more wafty somehow...(thinking of what spirit entails).

The absolute worst is the hashtag use: #feelingblessed #grateful #goodtimes

Aaggghhhh!

PS - I am not a miserable fucker, honestly. I just wish people would feel blessed, have a nice time etc. and not feel the need to report to the world about it!

PS - YANBU

I did some feeling blessed posts today.

Because today I feel blessed. Last year three on my children just lost their father, then two granddads. This year we had a lovely year and god knows we deserved it. We got through this god awful year

I have not mentioned presents on my FB though.

I love seeing my friend and family's statuses about their Christmas. I am glad they are having a good time and I only have people on FB who I am interested about actually care about how their day is going.

I love seeing happy posts in whatever form they come.

And yes.. FB is for talking about your life, what you are up to etc.

I wonder why people have FB and just moan about it.

Because I would rather see happy posts than people moaning about people using FB for its intended purpose! But again, I only friend people I care about.

Can you imagine being FB friends with this miserable lot.

Although it would be interesting to see their wonderful status updates.

It's threads like this that make me sooo glad I don't have FB. So many no-nos about so many things.

I will just remain in blissful ignorance as to what anyone is putting on there and be all mysterious myself.

I wouldn't moan about your FB on here,Sparkling .I don't care what anyone posts on their FB.

And if you did manage to annoy me on there I'd just hide you

Am on FB all the time. How come I've never noticed a dropdown menu?
