Friend’s holiday pictures

58 replies

Friend has gone on holiday, luxury resort, amazing destination. She’s posted daily pictures online but every single picture is just a selfie of her in her bikini or a mirror selfie. Not even her in her bikini with the pool in the background or with the beach or other scenery, just a close up of her. I want to see pictures of the amazing destination that I have no chance of ever going to not lots of selfies.
Is this what people do now?
Clearly I’m being a bit of a bitch but I just don’t see the point in these pictures!

@Onlyforcake

Maybe give a big thumbs up, you look great etc. Then say you're dying to see all the touristy pics when she gets back.

Maybe they've taken a camera and she's just posting from her phone right now.

This is possible

I think YABU because it's her holiday, her body, her pictures and she doesn't owe you anything in all honesty, you can ask for pictures if you want to see

I think we should be lifting other women up, and if your 'friend' likes to post pictures of her body then she is obviously very comfortable with herself and happy with those photos so let her know she looks great, hope she is enjoying the holiday and don't go complaining about the photos.

Selfi-sh.

YANBU but social media today is just "does anyone wanna see my holiday slides?" From the 80's. Ignore. Block and ignore. Block, ignore and book a holiday. It's so boring!

I think it’s a bit entitled to expect other people to post what you personally want to see on their own social media accounts. It’s not like you’re paying her a subscription fee.

I don’t care if my friends post selfies. They’re my friends, so I’m perfectly happy to see their faces. If sharing a selfie helps them feel more confident about themselves, that’s great. It’s not doing me any harm.

I could not agree more. She has every right to post however many selfies she wants on her own page. Hmm

'She's lovely and interesting and has lots of interests.'
In which case she'd probably be heartbroken if she ever knew she was the subject of this post on mumsnet, where you are not necessarily being a bitch ( although you sound it to me)... but where you are unsurprisingly getting all of these 'god how tedious' responses.
Glad you're not my friend
