To find popular people on Facebook seriously flawed - lighthearted.

The more friends/likes a person gets on Facebook the more annoying and frankly pathetic that person is. I am also relieved when I meet someone with a modest set up. Am I the only one?

I do also like posts of these people whilst inside thinking you are a bit of a twat. Could it be that everyone else is liking their posts and thinking the same thing?

YABU, I just have lots of friends

You're clearly just jealous OP

Huh?

Just get off Facebook maybe.

You could be right. I am probably a miserable bastard!

I unfollow anyone that annoys me. You could try that?

Seriously, you need to get off FB if that is your attitude. So if someone who has lived in various places, had several jobs, is involved in different activities outside of work has (for example) gathered a lot of friends and get a lot of likes on a post such as one announcing their engagement, you like the post and think - really, you're a bit of a twat. Nice. It's you, not them.

I often get quite a lot of likes when I post pictures. I like to think it's due to my friends actually liking what I post and having an interest in my life, like I have in theirs, and not because they are mean.

I'm afraid you come across as the twat.

Gosh OP I hope you've learned your lesson to NEVER post anything lighthearted or tongue in cheek on MN. You will be hung, drawn and quartered.

Pretty much unfortunate! This is lighthearted everyone!

YANBU. Facebook massages the ego of many.

A few posts about holidays and life events are ok - I enjoy seeing these sort of posts. However, imho posting just about every little, insignificant thing is cringe worthy.

I am also relieved when I meet someone with a modest set up. Am I the only one?

What the hell is a modest set up??

I don't want to know or see the accident your baby had in its nappy.

I don't care about your child loosing his tooth and having the photo thrust on my newsfeed.

I don't care if you have a bad cold - suck it up!

Posting 100s of photos of your beach holiday is unnecessary. I'm happy you've had such a nice time - but can't you keep some of your family time private?

How does a baby have an accident in a nappy? that's where it's supposed to shit!!

Backie now you would be a good Facebook friend. A modest set up - less than or around 100 friends. Posts that are beautiful or funny and no posts that make your DH look ridiculous, eg putting him in a t-shirt that says Dad and Hubby.

I have just over 100 friends. Damnit. I want to be modest.

I've noticed a girl I used to go to school with on my Facebook gets loads and loads of likes and comments on their selfies. The comments are usually from men using quite broken English or just falling over themselves to compliment her and if she responds she is quite short/rude with them so I think why bother having all these weird creepy men on her profile but hey ho. At least she's getting loads of likes She sells JP so I assume she just adds everyone.

I disagree, I think the opposite is true.

I press like if I like the post. I don't if I don't.

I think if you have 500 'friends' and you only get a few likes when you post, your should take the hint.

And what about those people who start liking your posts when it's nearly their birthday.

Facebook was designed to push people with depression and narcissist's over the edge. Which is why I'm not on there.
