Friend who boasts

[Howfar12]

So, I know someone, not really a friend but you know what I mean, who constantly posts pictures of the inside of their car, jewellery etc. For the clap they had to say that “my estate” all took part. Someone asked her what most expensive jewellery is and she posted the answer on her story. AIBU to feel that there’s no real need for this. AIBU to confront her. What should I say?

"confont her"? LMFAO
what are you going to do?- give her a list of acceptable things to post on her social media accounts- or maybe she should ring you before she posts anything on facebook to get your approval first?

Good grief, just delete her if she annoys you so much. She has every right to post whatever the fck she wants to and you have every right not to look at it. Its really not hard.

I usually find people thst fo this are seriously lacking in their life in some way or are insecure. I just hide thir posts

Swarovski, whilst lovely, is hardly expensive jewelry

This is so funny!

Estate and Swarovski just show that she’s the opposite of boastful. She’s perfectly happy not trying to hide that she doesn’t live in a period cottage somewhere, but just an estate - council or otherwise.
Also perfectly happy to say she has nothing more expensive than Swarovski which really really is not the mark of the very wealthy.

You’ll be berating her for posting a photo of avocado toast next!

I would unfollow her if you don’t like her posts and you’re not really friends. Simple pimple!

Please please do explain why rather than just bitching about this passing acquaintance, you actually wanted advice on what to say to confront her?!!

That’s a dick move

Ok that's enough bashing of the OP I think now.
She's admitted she's wrong, perhaps she will address any issues she has now.
Hope your ok, focus on the important things and mute your 'friend' on social media 💐

She said her most expensive piece of jewellery is a “Swarovski necklace that her brother bought for her”. I don’t know why she felt the need to post this

Not quite as confusing though as your need to post this...

I think I’m missing something here! I have 2 Swarovski necklaces, none cost more than £100. I also live on an ‘estate’ (a cul de sac on an estate actually!)... in a nice but pretty uninspiring house built circa 1995. Posh it isn’t.

Thanks for the laugh OP. Please don't confront them.

Well I'm very proud to say that nobody in my street has been out clapping....some have put up rainbow pictures, but most of us are just staying indoors, and helping the NHS that way. Ignore this silly woman. Advertising on SM that she has expensive jewellery in her house? A burglary waiting to happen!

Swarovski necklace 🤣

Okay, no need to berate me, I understand nkw

Fuck, if you're jealous of Swarovski and a cul-de-sac it's time to give up.

Where I live 'estate' is somewhere the postman won't deliver and the council threatens to demolish.

@Howfar12

Just hide the thread. Honestly, people will read the first post, comment without reading the rest and you'll feel shit.

You've done the best thing. Posted, read, taken it on board and sucked it up. I wouldn't carry on reading now honestly.

OP if you were serious people are ridiculing your friend more than they are you. Don’t worry about it

She sounds annoying. But people sure love showing off on social media. I'm sure loads of people have unfollowed her.

My estate. Her council estate? How is that in any way boasting?

@Howfar12 I think people are still going because you haven’t explained anything! Which parts did you think were bragging? What annoyed you? Why did you want to say something to her?

Just ingore her, no one likes a show off

I said estate when I mentioned the clapping the other day. I live on an estate; a housing estate!

Massively overthinking. If she annoys you, unfriend her. It's that simple.

Confront her?!

I think the perceptions of the world "estate" must be regional - in my area, yes there are "council estates" but private developments of 70s houses, 90s houses, even very large 1930s type houses are all called an "estates"

I don't think she's bragging if it's a housing estate and swarovski jewellery.
I have someone on social media who loves her labels and always manages to get her expensive purse in social media photos.
I think it's funny, anyone secure in themselves doesn't do that.
