‘Smashed it, create goals, stay quiet, live happy..’ etc etc 🥱

Does anyone else find this sort of thing written on friends social media posts a bit naff? I always roll my eyes. Not trying to be bitchy, but actively going off one old friend due to this and wondering if she was always like this or we’ve just grown apart

I'm quiet, loud with the right crowd, live simply, love nature, don't have too many goals apart from one lovely fisherman's cottage which isn't that undoable;

I'm self deprecating also;
I think probably a divorced woman who just made it through might need to post this and that is OK. They need some new meaning and living within budget if the finance is less. Doesn't bother me if saw it on my timeline..

I think the older and wiser we become, posts need to be adapted to accordingly, should you wish to be a continual SM participant. Sadly, because of the addictive nature and sometimes the neediness of the people posting, they become addicted to the little hit of dopamine when someone hits ‘like’. Using tag lines is just part of the culture that goes along with it. IRL my cousin, who is well over 50, started using the term ‘rocking up’
in front of younger friends and family. I could have died on the spot for her- so desperate she was to try and be cool.
Attention seeking in anyone older than 20 makes me feel almost embarrassed for that person. It’s so cringe, so uncool and so unnecessary. Same with mothers who can’t educate themselves enough to close down their accounts properly and not post pics of their young DC or worse, babies - the horror of what someone could do with a screenshot and AI these days doesn’t bear thinking about. I think we also just get more easily irritated by patterns of behaviour as as we mature. Irritation is subjective though!
