"Timehop". Facebook. Bit mortified...aibu to wonder how i have any mates left?

[InTheWhiteRoom]

i have started using that timehop app (every day it shows you the statuses you wrote on that day in the years past) ....and looking back at my past statuses over the years has made me absolutely cringe and realise that I am a real twat on facebook. bragging, jezza kyle style laundry airing,. vaguebooking, soppy declarations of love between dh and i, depressing statuses, public bitching, "i'll PM you hun" , over sharing, you name it have done it

i genuinely do not understand how I have any mates left, god knows what they say behind my back

what in gods name have I been thinking? theres no excuse, i knew what i was posting

I am 35 years old fgs. not 16. And I am the facebook friend you all hate and moan about on here :(

i need to now make a concerted effort to either not post at all don't i? as i seem incapable of self moderation. or only post things that aren't twatty and annoying ....or just delete facebook but i am addicted

oh god the hashtagging

at least I don't do that much

thanks so much for this!
I am that poster, omg, "the 5 year old just did this" fucking twatty way I used to speak on there

I haven't got timehop thankfully, but I did have a look back at my very early posts from years ago where I referred to myself in the third person a lot. Horrifying. What a twat. Rest assured I'm very much improved these days.

Everyone did! You had to! The status box used to display like this before you entered anything:

SpinDoctor is...[blank space]

If I updated my status as "eeurgh, I hate cheesecake", it displayed on everyone's wall as
SpinDoctor is eeurgh, I hate cheesecake.

You were not a twat.

Haha yeah I remember that! Where it used to be "so and so is ......"

Oh the excitement when they changed it so you didn't have to have that

Thank fuck for that. Maybe I wasn't such a twat after all. I did post some bloody boring crap though!

I LOVE Timehop. I have discovered that I am in fact hilarious. No really. I am! There is a little bit of vaguebooking about work but mostly it's just me trying to be funny.

That ad keeps coming up as well, about having your Facebook year made into an actual printed book.

Can you imagine!?

Why would anybody want to print it all off forever? I mean, some of it would probably be nice if something special had happened, but not day after day of "Alice Lidl reached level 67 on Candy Crush" or accidentally shared statuses about "This woman has been in a coma for fifteen years, what her cat did next is heartwarming".
