What's the biggest lie/distortion you have seen someone post on social media?

[grumpelgoatskin]

A friend posts regularly on Facebook about her very happy marriage and her wonderful husband.

In reality she cannot stand him and is looking for a way out.

I have no idea why she feels the need to post these lovey posts when she could just post nothing.

Hmmm....bullies being in caring roles. Guess it depends if they changed or not? I think some kids who bully stay that way and some change- would depend. I am not going to excuse bullying at all but I think there those who bully due to thinks they going through at the time (not an excuse but a reason) and they may grow up, get a bit of healthy self reflection or therapy and then try to be completely different people.
True, not really thought about it that way before, that makes sense, people can change or challenge their thoughts

I hate when people I know on FB post the type of mental health or bullying or whatever copy and paste status or meme that contains "I bet I know who cares enough about depression/suicide/bullying etc to pass this on"

WTF?? Hate these things with a passion. For a start what does "please copy and paste, don't share" achieve?? why not just share? what wrong with sharing?

"I know who won't share this/ my real friends who understand will share this, many won't"- what are you, a psychic? How dare you assume, when you know me personally and know I have battled these issues that I don't understand what you going through just because I cannot be arsed to copy and paste something??? Maybe am too busy battling said isssues to waste my time with it. I don't mind awareness memes that are helpful but this passive aggressive woe is me stuff boils my hide

I have a friend whose selfies are so heavily filtered and smoothed that you can barely make out that she even has a nose. If she ever went missing there is no way you could use any of those pictures as they look nothing like her!

I have another acquaintance who is an MLM hun. She posts all the time about her amazing life that is paid for by her "biz" when in reality she has a husband who works 11 hour days, 6 days a week to support them.

I have somebody on sm whose husband is 'the man of her dreams' shes on marriage number 3 mmmmmm how long do I give it before she divorces him

@LadyFlumpalot I always comment on those pics with who is this on the comments

I have a friend who posts pictures of flowers her husband has given her with #blessed. Doesn't mention he bought her the flowers because he sulked for days because she didn't want to have sex with him and when she finally relented she got an offering to keep her happy.

I know a woman who posts a lot of her husband and kids but has been having a physically affair for over a year.

Physical*

They don't do it any more, but I knew someone who used to post things along the lines of:

"Lovely mummy and daughter morning. We did the crafts the girls got for their birthday. So lovely having time to spend time with each other. #makingmemories #mummyanddaughter #lovelytimes #lovemydaughters" Followed by lots of photos of what they'd made.

I'd have seen her earlier that day and asked how she was and got this sort of response.
Terribly morning. I thought we'd do this craft set, but I dropped it on the way out of the box and stepped on one of the main pieces. DD1 decided to throw the paint over the dog, and the dog ran through the rooms shaking himself so we've green pain on everything, then dd2 pushed the glitter off the table and jumped on it, so we've got footprints of glitter everywhere. They wouldn't sit still, and kept hitting each other, so eventually I sent them to their rooms, so I could clean up. Dd1 was found in the living room encouraging dd2 to use the toilet brush to sweep the chimney and the whole room was covered in soot..."

My sister congratulating her husband on buying them a new house. That my dad brought. So they wouldn't be homeless. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t have Facebook so don’t really understand how it works. But why doesn’t anyone say anything.
When they post shit just no that’s not right surely you mean xyz.

Can juSt clarify these are still small children. Certainly not old enough to be saying 'mum don't'. These are under four years old.
The thing I find odd is if there are My current photos they are almost always taken with dad in the picture. Also the MIL takes her to work and collects her and she doesn't socialise etc without the inlaws or her dh.

I probably am overthinking it and though she's quiet she's never indicated there is anything wrong.

Sorry. Ipad made a mess of that.

Oh finally I can vent! .. someone I no is pregnant has 2 kids..All over facebook announcing it's a boy pretty pics with the kids all dressed up round the xmas tree posing for photos holding pics of baby scan. In reality she cries because it's a boy she disnt want a boy still dont has considered termination. The kids arent allowed downstairs only upstairs and should be seen and not heard. Fake arse people. And evey single thing is "well I am pregnant' .. literally anything she relates it to her pregnancy?! Someone hurt there foot... my ankles are swollen I need to be careful.. shes 18 weeks. The smallest barely there bump and doesnt bend forward coz her belly is to big. Fuk off.. arghhhhh she grates on me can u tell???

I think if you were a bully, everyone knew that and you left a trail of victims in your wake, and have honestly changed; the best and most dignified way to communicate that when you share a post like that is to accept that yes I was a bully, I know why people do it and it’s easy to fall in to that trap and I am truly sorry to anyone I have hurt. And actually make some amends. It’s hypocritical otherwise. It would show some inward reflection, growth and integrity there. Not just, mmm my kid is now on the receiving end so I’ll share some misspelled meme about bullying to show I really am on board.

They may have had a hard time and it caused them to be a bully. But lots of people have hard childhoods and never became bullies.

I wouldn’t trust the woman in question to cut my hair let alone take charge of a vulnerable person. Even if people do “change” it is still right to acknowledge the person they were before and not try to erase that now with a heavily edited and censored social media.

Snuffkindle you get a prize for making me laugh like a drain at your crap party comment.

IamPickleRick Yeah, I hear you on this one. I think they should apologise personally to their victims. After all, their victims won't be on their friends list and won't see their status, so apologising on the anti bullying memes might be a bit pointless.

It’s public. I’m not her friend. She posts it on her salon page where she has reinvented herself.

IamPickleRick Thank God we have the option now to avoid our bullies though. I love how Facebook has a block function.

Although I suppose she’d never do that because her business wouldn’t survive if people knew the truth about her so she has to lie and pretend to not be a raging cunt. Ah well, integrity counts for nothing these days

I’ve blocked her and her page but other friends/victims post about it or recommend it in local groups. What I need is that fb add on that changes all mention of it in to pictures of cute cats 😂

IamPickleRick That is a nuisance then- I guess you can block the page though? I think you can do that on FB. It is annoying though when they do hypocrite stuff like this. i guess if they were to apologise to us they would end up having to face the fact that we have been able to move on with our lives and not let them win though- their ego could not face the fact that they didn't break us.

pictures of cute cats me too, although I include cute dogs, guinea pigs, even sloths on mine

am shocked that your friends don't block her too though, knowing what she did to you IamPickleRick

WTF?? Hate these things with a passion. For a start what does "please copy and paste, don't share" achieve?? why not just share? what wrong with sharing?

It’s data mining. If you look carefully there’s often a spelling or grammar mistake, or it’s phrased to give a searchable hook.

If you just share then when someone searches their keyword it only brings back the original post. If people copy and paste every post is “unique” and a search brings back a handy list of fuckwits....

bluebluezoo aye, fuckwits is the right word.
