Firstly, I’m not a bitter and jealous person, I’m generally v happy to see pics of people on lovely holidays, happy families etc on Fb and Instagram. But lately, it’s been pissing me off a bit, friends/acquaintances posting about another holiday booked with the above comment or posts about designers bags/clothes etc. It never used to bother me, but people doing this now in the current climate, seems really insensitive? I’ve just started to think ‘Twat’ and am really going off them, aibu?

I find the whole checking in and posting everything you are doing is a bit dated now the younger people on my Facebook rarely post nowadays . I don’t mind seeing my families holiday photos etc but I unfollowed old work colleagues and the like who do all the ‘making memories ‘ and ‘date night with this one ‘ stuff

@CourtneeLuv I’m not jealous…I just question the appropriateness of it at the moment. I also post and use it as my memories, I suppose it’s the over the top, obviously showy captions that seem wrong

Yeah, jealous.

Otherwise you wouldn't care what they caption their pics and vids with. Or what they post.

Why is it ok to post such pics without those captions but not if they do?

Peggingsoundsgross · 12/12/2022 23:15

@CourtneeLuv No, I honestly don’t feel jealous..it just feels a bit wrong.

@CourtneeLuv these types don't make me feel jealous just irritated for being so self absorbed

YANBU. I've been debating whether come off it for good now. I don’tinder Instagram but FB just seems to be becoming very dated, people hardly post now, younger generation don’t use it and most are no doubt only on it to be nosey.

Only thing I'd miss is Marketplace!

Moxbeal · 12/12/2022 23:19

Don't mind Instagram that should say.

You can be irritated by something without being jealous of it.

An old friend from college has literally posted a pic of where she’s off next with the caption being about Christmas shopping being ✅ and others with designer clothes and jewellery and #goals 🙈I’d rather die than post that shit, isn’t it embarrassing 🤷🏻‍♀️

She’s probably really eating hotdogs in an oodie 😂
