I have a friend on facebook. I do feel a bit meh about some of her facebook posts. Things like feeling heartbroken. So you ring her in a panic to discover that it's because of the CG situation
Now I know that this is a sad situation but really a facebook post like that.
It is just attention seeking isn't it or am I heartless?

FB does seem to bring out the inner twat in many does'nt it?! I deleted my account a few years back after a major falling out with a cousin and her passive aggressive posts. Of course when I called her on it she was'nt being PA. No love of course you werent!

Yes the inner twat indeed

CG was reference to Charlie Gard and the media circus surrounding the poor child.

I think I've muted about half the people I'm friends with on FB. It makes life so much more pleasant.

One woman constantly posts memes, like 3-4 per day, about how much she doesn't care what anyone says or thinks about her, with absolutely no sense of the fucking irony.

I know someone like this. She oscillates between moaning about how cruel life is to her (it's not, she's minted, young, healthy, has a beautiful son and doesn't have to work) and then going on about how very proud she is of herself for doing some tiny obscure thing and how her friends are her life so they all write underneath "we love you, you're amazing, you're doing so well" etc. It's exhausting and annoying. Click 'hide'!!!

Can we get an "Amen" pisses me right off

If its someone i know on facebook and not that well in real life and if fb didnt exist, i wouldnt have much to do with ( if that makes sense) then i dont feel that i can comment much or 'pm' them, so then i am totally in the dark as to the problem as they rarely do up dates ( as everyone else has helped them privately, or phoned them up) so what the problem/ drama is becomes a mystery! There are a few people on my feed that are like this , but not many. I have often wondered what it was all about , but only for a second or so! lol. social media has a lot to answer for. That meme is true though , i guess a lot of the time its really nothing.

I've got a FB acquaintance who tags herself at the local hospital with no explanation just a sad emoji. When she inevitably gets asked "what's up hun?" by 20 odd people, she replies " I'll pm you babes, don't want it made public".

Why the fuck tag yourself at the hospital then?

I never reply to any of that attention seeking bollocks on Facebook.

Just ignore it.

KitKat1985 · 28/07/2017 09:28

Just as an aside, for everyone who hates all the Facebook attention seekers, there's a very funny Facebook group called 'U ok hun?' which you may appreciate.

are you following it on your phone.

I have found teh answer is to reply immediately - Oh, so sad or Brill or Great news smiley face or any crap suitable response.

Then you forget you ever read it - but you haven't been drawn in.
I do the same on watsapp.
