Anyone getting fed up of people posting about their ‘wholesome weekends’

[BluntJoker]

Keep seeing this pop up and think they sound pathetic . Am I alone in finding this annoying?

Why not just send photos to people you know privately? Why publicise your life and then get upset if strangers criticise it?

Yes of course. What a stupid question. Who wouldn't 🤣

They look nice. That's all really.

The fake ones or the real ones?

That's true of 'unwholesome' stuff as well though right? The pictures of people in beer gardens or out with the girls for a bottomless brunch? They'll have filters and enhancements and corny little lines about friends being the family we choose. They most definitely won't show the other side of nights out, the sitting on the edge of a pavement with cheesy chips and mascara smeared round your face. Or the one friend who always starts crying after a few drinks.

Yep

Both of them. What does it even matter they're not doing any harm

God some people are taking this post super seriously. Correct me if I’m wrong OP - but your question is pretty lighthearted? Think we should all be allowed to laugh at people being a bit of a dick on social media

I'm real life friends with someone a bit like this. It's always funny to review her posts after we've spent a weekend together. We always have a lovely time with the kids together, but looking at her Instagram is like seeing the highlights reel. She's very good at capturing a moment though and it's nice to get some high-quality photos for the (offline) photo album!

Yes of course
And profile pictures on dating apps
And pictures of children smiling and playing perfectly
And hotel rooms
And and and

It’s all, at best enhanced, but mostly just an imaginary image curated for the world to view. It might as well be a comic book (although they tend to be at least funny)

People photograph the inside of their fridges!
It’s fascinating, as a social experiment, it really is, but it’s very strange.

The inside of a fridge!

So why is only the 'wholesome' stuff that apparently gives the message 'we're better than you'?

If your issue is with the fake way people present themselves on social media then surely they are all trying to give that message? 'Look at me, I have more friends than you!', 'look at me, I have more fun than you!'

I have a friend who is much younger than me and I had noticed recently she had described a few of her weekends as wholesome when I asked her how her weekend was. I didn't realise it was A Thing!

I’ve never heard of a ‘wholesome’ weekend but I don’t watch TikTok and I have left Facebook.

I can’t see many of my friends being into it 🤣

This was mine on my walk with ds.......lookatem tho.

Yes, tbh!

A wholesome weekend sounds like a Pentecostal weekend retreat!

MN is so sneery about other people doing things they love and (shock) posting about it on social media.

I personally love that my friends and family do things that make them happy and if they want to share that online then good for them.

It’s much better than being a miserable so-and-so who just seems to want everyone to be bored and unhappy all the time 🤷‍♀️

Yes I have a friend who describes his weekends as wholesome. Think it's a younger generation thing.

When I was younger there was nothing wholesome about getting shit faced in a club, then continuing said night out at someone's house. We also didn't post it on social media.

But a lot of the younger generations don't get shit faced.

I love seeing wholesome weekend posts. A bit of joy and happiness in life.

Some people are so miserable

I don't post anything but happily read and see other people do because I assume that is the point of SM? I love seeing people's adventures etc. And I am not sat at home seething how hard done by I am or how jealous or inferior nor do I feel judged I am happy to see people hiking Ben Nevis or eating bugs in Thailand or whatever, saves me doing it

Same with people who compliance about why people start certain threads, because that is the point of a forum?

God I yearn for a wholesome weekend, and I appreciate people online showing me how its done, so thoughtful of them to share.

So people are unhappy with own weekends?

This Gen X-er drags the family on the muddy field and beach walks but ensures they always end at a pub.
#WholesomeShenanigans 😜

TBH, if I don't lose my shit at a playground or the swimming pool or an event, I class that as wholesome.

I love seeing photos of places people go to. The hikes up Ben Nevis or the days out in the woods or the holiday snaps of Bali or Greece.

I don't much care for the ones of people posing but the ones of scenery or animals I absolutely love.
