To think the Facebook 'feeling blessed' status should be renamed 'feeling smug'

I know I don't have to go on there but I like it generally for keeping in touch with friends I don't see that much. But why does it turn nice pleasant people into smug idiots? If I read one more 'feeling blessed' status, (usually either about something very mundane that happens to everyone like spending time with your kids or incredibly boasty) I will not be responsible for my actions well I'll probably just moan a lot and post on here.

I know what you mean in a way. I've said it many times; Facebook is often used in a calculated way, if that's not too strong of a word. I think a lot of what is put on there is done to piss others off or rub people's faces in it. But when I had my 20 week scan for DC I put a post up that I was feeling blessed because I was so happy and blessed everything was all fine and healthy. That wasn't me being smug it's how I genuinely felt at the time.

I do get you though on some things. Like 'sitting and watching Disney films with princess....feeling blessed' oh bore off its just a fucking film you attention seeking drama queen!
