Aibu: Don't be disappointed, i've chosen those who i thought would make this fun

Probably a billion threads on this but i've been tagged and seen loads of this "wear your crown" business on Facebook,
But the line "if i havent tagged you dont be disappointed, i've chosen those who i thought would make this fun" seems a bit ironic in terms of the whole "be kind" malarky going around.

It’s a load of bollocks

Ihatemyseleffordoingthis · 18/02/2020 21:00

this is why I deleted facebook years ago
just another space for people to act like twats in

I'm also seeing a lot of people on fb who were cyber wailing over caroline flack now posting this:

I got tagged by a couple of women in these posts - I removed the tag!!

dustibooks · 18/02/2020 21:02

Ugh. Thankfully I don't have anyone on my fb who is stupid enough to do this sort of thing.

I can’t decide whether to be glad no one has tagged me in this, or to feel slightly sad that I am too boring (this is true!).

recklessruby · 18/02/2020 21:05

I havent been on Facebook for a few days to avoid shite like this.
Not missing it.

Redcrayons · 18/02/2020 21:14

I haven't been nominated, I'm obviously a fun sucker.

I've untagged myself.
Rather than "raising awareness" why can't they simply message someone they know has struggled with their mental health.. or is that not "public" enough..

Exactly this.

GabsAlot · 18/02/2020 21:21

oh another one i hate share this if you want to beat cancer if you dont youre against us or some crap

i mean wtf is that

Kaykay066 · 18/02/2020 21:21

It’s all these with pics saying be kind
None of them are kind, it’s for show
My son was seriously ill in hospital last week and all these be kind etc come up
So did I get one message from any of these friends who are preaching kindness
Nope not one
People need to practise what they preach otherwise keep quiet

Whatsername177 · 18/02/2020 21:22

I've been feeling really pissed off with this shit too. Being famous is now a career. Everyone thinks they need to publically promote "being kind" but they were the same people reading the salacious gossip on social media and the news papers a week ago. If the people I know genuinely need a celebrity to commit suicide in order to realise that they should be kind, then this world is even more fucked up than I thought.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 18/02/2020 21:22

I've been tagged in one of these.
Not my thing, so I won't be taking part, but really can't be getting wound up about it like some people seem to be on this thread!
Just scroll on by and save your blood pressure Confused

GrassyGreen · 18/02/2020 21:24

Being kind and sharing your values is one thing; posting about being kind to generate 'likes' is something else.

WhatsTheLatest · 18/02/2020 21:24

So ruddy annoying, along with the emotional one-upmanship of CF's celeb friends all seeming to be trying to outdo each other.

Allthepinkunicorns · 18/02/2020 21:26

I hate them, I hate being tagged in any of the share thingys. They are just a way to show of a pic of yourself and to make yourself look good. How is sharing a picture of yourself meant to cure kindness? Bloody load of bollocks!

Thinkingaboutsummer2020 · 18/02/2020 21:27

I’ve unfriended because of this.

Blackandgreenteas · 18/02/2020 21:28

Not even seen it! I must be so boring that all these fun, kind people have blocked me 😂🤪

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 18/02/2020 21:32

Bloody load of bollocks!
Dad?
Is that you?!

LaBelleSauvage123 · 18/02/2020 21:32

I’ve been tagged too and hate it. And there’s no way that I know 25 women who’d be happy to be tagged by me!

Blackandgreenteas · 18/02/2020 21:32

I also still don’t really understand what it means!

crazycatgal · 18/02/2020 21:34

I've been tagged in this and ignored it. From what i've seen it's just an opportunity for people to upload a selfie they like. Nothing to do with thinking about our words and being kind.

Leflic · 18/02/2020 21:35

I felt awful looking at one of them. 99% of the photos are the best shots people gave of themselves which everyone has commented on. And there was one if a young pudgy woman ( not an actual Friend on my account) thin badly styled hair looking nervous as hell and no one has said anything. A couple of likes but no comments at all. Clearly she doesn’t look conventionally attractive or even that happy.
So the idea was to be positive and the one person that needs it most got nothing.

NemophilistRebel · 18/02/2020 21:35

Fucking load of narcissistic bollocks done only by needy people looking for any excuse to drive their heads further up their arses
