I use Facebook a lot, I like to see what family are doing and talk on groups (both my dc’s have sn’s so some days it’s my only contact with the outside world), but lately it’s been so depressing, everyone seems to be ill, a relative has so called flu and has been posting every detail about how awful she feels for the past week, updates about if she has managed to get out of bed today and if she has eaten 
, and she’s not the only one, there are 4 or 5 others who are also ill and have to share everything. Then there’s the family member that bought my dc’s a toy from Poundland for Christmas (nothing wrong with this if your skint), a week after Christmas she posted how they had been out and bought themselves a new xbox and a laptop, had to share exactly how much they payed for the items, where they bought them and then updates about how brilliant said x box is. Then there’s the lady who keeps posting about what a awful day she’s having, everyone asks her ‘what’s wrong’ and she replies with ‘I will message you’, FFS, if your not going to tell the whole of Fb what’s wrong why bother posting?
FB just seems to be full of people moaning about being ill, bragging about what they spend their money on. Photos of peoples dinner (plates of vomit) and people posting a couple words without explaining what they actually mean.
And don’t get me started on the one who has to post a photo of every movement their child makes, every new outfit and every new food tried.
If it wasn’t for the support network (the ASD community), I would happily delete it. People need to cheer the fuck up and stop moaning, get out in the real world and stop telling everyone how much they have spent on things.
I’m sure I’m not BU but I’m sure someone will come along and tell me I am
