To feel like calling out all the bloody hypocrites!

[BabyofMine]

I’m presuming because of the sad news about Caroline Flack, all over Facebook and Instagram etc I am seeing posts with the words “in a world where you can be anything, be kind” or words to that effect.

It’s really upsetting me though because two of the people I’ve seen writing this with additional holier than thou comments have been absolutely vile to me in the past, I’m talking bullying in the workplace type situations.

I really want to comment, oh kind like you were to me when you did x, y and z? Of course I won’t but the hypocrisy infuriates me!!

(And yes I do realise I should delete them from my social media and I’m not sure why I don’t tbh)

Ha ha ha - I have two friend who posted this tonight too.

Social media gives unpleasant people a mouthpiece. Don’t engage with them.

I agree, I see people on social media doing this that bullied me relentlessly through school. I know people do change but seriously accept what you’ve done & be big enough to apologise or acknowledge what you’ve done

Yep, my friends sister has shared something along those lines. I've heard her and her daughters rip apart people they know, people her daughters went to school with etc for who they are with, something they've done, the way they look. She is one of the bitchiest people I know and distance myself for that reason (although she is always lovely when I see her ).

I really want to comment and point out the irony of her post but DH talked me out of it.

It's like sheep, isn't it?

Where were all the people offering support to CF when she needed it? Yet everyone who ever met her is tweeting tonight saying how important she was to them.... ad nauseum. Fucking hypocrites the lot of them.

I’m ignoring all those posts on fb tonight!

Leave it and stay offline instead of making things worse.

YANBU. I know a few people like that. Always the first to repost mental health awareness stuff with added messages "if you need me whoever you are, my door's always open" etc. when in fact they're nasty, bullying people who are much more likely to cause mental health issues than genuinely help anyone with them.

Same here. One ex work mate who was asking nosey questions on a status of mine just last week is now posting 'inspirational niceness' quotes. Might be a good time to 'be kind' to myself and unfollow/unfriend a few people.

People should think twice before bitching and destroying another with words that they wouldn't dare speak, because keyboard warriors are always without exception cowards and as in tonight's case when the target dies the warriors become grief vultures instead

Phillip Schofield posted that on his insta stories. My thread on ITV and PR agencies continuing to cover up the much bigger story was deleted tonight ''in light of the death of Caroline Flack''. The two are not related.

If by some weird coincidence I saw my bullies saying this I’d have to say something

I totally agree.

And all this “I care about you, you can always count on me” bullshit.

Same every time. Mean girls from school banging on about speaking up against bullying, be kind and all that shite. It's laughable.

I feel the same ...l

Herpes, You know quite a lot about her for not knowing who she is.

I really want to comment, oh kind like you were to me when you did x, y and z? Of course I won’t but the hypocrisy infuriates me!!

You say 'Of course I won't'.

What's the worst that might happen if you did?

Completely

I have left Facebook, but the same people posting those sorts of things are literally people who've turned their faces away, or ghosted me as friends

Also, nearly EVERY time someone posts on here about ghosting a friend with mental health issues, they are encouraged to, and supported.

The only people these sorts are lying to is themselves.

If you’ve got receipts, I’d screenshot them by way of reply.

PS I don’t do Facebook do not exactly sure how that would work!

The thing is people or circumstances won't always be kind. Yes it would be amazing if that was the case but we will have all said or done something that upset others sometimes consciously sometimes subconsciously
There seems to be a lot more suicides recently and whilst mental health services are very inadequate and we do need to reach other and nurture others more on the whole people are growing up with far less resilience now then ever. So be kind whilst also promoting resilience and independence in others

I don't have a Facebook account but do have Twitter- although not for anything personal. The thing about social media is it is about connecting people together around things - whether that is friendships, common interests, sports, politics, contentious issues. It invites comments.It has created a worldwide monster that needs constant feeding.

Celebrities play games with the Media- they sell stories and photos, have PR agents who promote them through social and other media. They create interest- to the point where many buy followers and sell false stories and pose for intrusive photos which appear on front pages, on social media etc and build up their profile and fans. However, they are then followed by paps and subject to public comment and have no control of that and how nasty and intrusive it becomes.

Why do we have this cult of celebrity? It is tacky, mindless and empty. Why does anyone care what the Kardashions, Katie Price, TOWIEs, Caroline Flack, Colleen Rooney, Rebecca Vardy or any of them say, do or wear? Why do we pay them attention?

Most of them do not have enough talent to sustain a career and if it was not for their 'celeb' profiles- appearances at clubs, awards, parties etc where they are photographed- they would not make a living. The public are the fools who fall into the PR people's nets and are fascinated by the mindless made-up trivia of their supposed lives.

I just do not understand the obsession and all the hangers on that also profit from it - Loose Women which has to be the most dire tv show ever with a load of has-beens commenting on other has-beens, 'influencers' n social media who are simply appallingly untalented people making a living in their bedrooms talking about celebs and make-up and clothes (Today I am going to show you how to apply mascara for a really full lash effect like Kim Kardashion's).

It is all pathetic and false. The trolls are sad people who live through social media and promote their own sad little lives on Facebook and Instagram instead of living them.

I hate all of it.

If they’re not colleagues anymore than call them out on it. Speak your truth and all that bollocks

In my experience it's always the nasty, bullying types that bleat on online about 'being kind'. Hypocrites!
