Sister replying to questions directed at me on social media

My Dsis whenever someone posts a question to me on my social media will always respond before I have chance to answer and it makes me so cross!
It feels and I know this sounds dramatic, like she is silencing me. I have also taken a big step back from my SM use because it's annoyed me so much.
AIBU or is it just bloody rude?

I would pretend she hadn’t posted and just answer as normal, even if it’s a couple of days later.

I would do it every single time.

The person asking is likely not bothered about the answer, it’s you they want to communicate with.

The good news is that the people asking you questions or just reading the comments will see she’s a massive weirdo.

One of my friends used to do this with my SM, many moons ago. On Twitter and FB. Back in the day, when I'd posted some holiday pics on FB, someone asked where I was, and she gave the specific area and hotel name. I deleted the comment. I did call her out about it tho, and told her to stop, which she did. I think deleting your sisters comments and giving your own answer is the way to go

Restrict her so she can't view what's on your page but still has you as a friend?

Velmy · 02/03/2025 11:04

What did she say when you asked her to stop doing it?

SnoopysHoose · 02/03/2025 15:20

Just change your privacy settings and remove her as a friend.

Place a message on your SM informing your followers it is not you who is answering their questions, your SM has been hacked and you have reported it.

Its up to you wether you 'out' your sister or not but fgs change your pw ASAP to a super secure one,so she can't hack your SM accounts again.

If she asks you why just tell her she has no right to interfere and to back off. If she has an attitude with you over it then warn her the police will be involved next time if she's stupid enough to make the same mistake again.

Its like she is attention seeking or may crave the friendships you have but what she is doing is pretty bad. Don't leave your phone unlocked.

@Irridescantshimmmer I think you've misunderstood the OP. DSis is replying as herself, she isn't pretending to be the OP. She's just answering questions that were never directed at her which is really weird

Go into her comment, hold your finger on it and the options will come up. Click 'delete'. Then answer.

Do it every time.

HelloNorthernStar · 02/03/2025 17:07

Do you mean that you all communication on FB as on posts on your profiles for everyone to see otherwise I don’t understand how she sees your messages.

ThePuppyHasZoomiesAgain · 02/03/2025 17:17

Set the post so she can't see it. Then she won't be able to comment and you're free to do so in your own times. After a week or a couple of days, and you've had your fill of replying, change the setting on the post so she can't see it. She will be very confused and if she asks you if you blocked her from seeing the post just deny it, and say FB is glitchy sometimes.

DrummingMousWife · 02/03/2025 17:21

Why don’t you just post “I’m not dead! I can answer my own questions! Lol”

This, she'll soon get the hint
