To think my friend is attention seeking?

[MyQuaterLifeCrisis]

I just noticed a Facebook post stating "It really annoys me that people never commented on or like my statuses. So rude! From now on, if you don't communicate with me on here then I'm deleting you." This was followed by another post 'checking in' to her local hospital, giving second by second updates of her child hurting it's leg. There was once even a status about her child accidentally taking some medication and her asking for advice, rather than calling a doctor.

I go on Facebook once a week for 20 minutes usually - I like reading her updates most of the time, but my gosh she doesn't half post some nonsense and she has deleted me in the past because I haven't liked enough of her posts, even though I barely go on there.

Does anyone else have friends like this?

Who on earth actually takes the time to make a checklist of which friends are liking their posts? If my posts don't attract much attention I assume that they aren't interesting, not that my friends are arseholes. Because they're my friends. I would suggest either deleting her as a friend, assigning to acquiescences so you don't need to read her BS or keep her around for the entertainment factor.

She sounds a fanny hide her some people are far to invested in facebook they seem to need the gratification i normaly delete them

Mute is perfect for these people.

I WISH I had a friend like this. Mine are all annoyingly normal and reasonable sorts.

Pft.

sorry i meant unfollow not unlike

Who on earth actually takes the time to make a checklist of which friends are liking their posts?

It's an empty threat that she has not thought through.

If I like a post, it's normally for one of three reasons;

1. I'm pissed and feeling overly sentimental about the time we got sent out of maths for having a water fight together, despite having not spoken to you for the previous fifteen years.

1. I'm very pissed and can't actually see my iPad so am just randomly jabbing and accidentally liking things.

Or, far less likely

1. I like what you're saying and am interested in what you're doing.

You can hide all her updates, so you are still "friends" but can only see her updates if you go onto her page

I have a friend that regularly posts "I'm having a little fb friends clear out later... Will you make the cut, please reply if you don't want me to delete you?" I never reply but she always follows up with something along the lines of "well done you're one of my true friends " !

Fb algorithms also mean that you don't see all of your friends updates - it selects what it thinks you should see, so hardly anyone May have seen your friends update in the first place.

Urgh. She doesn't understand how fb works (re happyis), nor what fb is for. If you post shit that no one likes, then that's a signal to stop posting shit. It's a bit like having a tantrum because you wore a new dress and no one said how lovely it is. Which is worse when you put a new dress on 5 times a day.

She sounds very hard work tbh.

I am on FB daily. Most of my friends are too mature and too cool for this sort of nonsense but if ever I see an irritating cryptic, hysterical or attention seeking status update I deliberately swerve it.

I also refuse to cut and paste or share anything to do with hating cancer or loving autism or 'Like if you think this Downs baby is cute' or any of that utter shit.

I seriously worry about what social media is doing to the mental health and self esteem of our young people, I think it's turning them all into a bunch of total Narcs with the attention span of a gnat.

I have a friend who's gone OCD on Facebook. Reams and reams of posts.... very annoying. I just ignore them now.

I love him as a friend. Next time I see him I'll make a joke of it as in "What's with the OCD on Facebook then?"... He's funny enough to be able to laugh at it.

wonder if his relationship has gotten him bored

Can't really delete her, our kids are friends.

She posts a lot every day about being blessed to have an amazing husband and tags him in all of them (even though they live together) ...it's annoying but there's something fascinating about it too

If you unfollow her you can still go on her page to see what she has been posting, but it doesn't appear in your news feed. She can still see you and will never know that you have unfollowed her.

I have a facebook friend, actually that's a lie, he's a very z list celebrity, who posts stuff like 'if you don't like my status updates/photos/comments and don't interact with me on here, then I am going to delete you.'

Cue a huge amount of people sycophantically telling him he's wonderful and they love him and he's so, so talented.

I am tempted to delete him at times, but he is gloriously indiscreet and good for insider gossip sometimes.

Unfortunately I have someone like this on fb. Have unfollowed her but am strangely drawn to checking out her wall! She posts utter drivel and nonsense and is hugely attention seeking. But what really fascinates me is how much Tim sense spend editing the replies she gets to her posts. So for instance if anyone disagrees with anything she posts, their reply is deleted from her wall. She spends a LOT of time monitoring this and I am utterly fascinated by it!!!!

That ought to read ' how much time she spends' bloody iPad autocorrect
