Thoughts on this

[Sarapq2]

Do you ever think people on fb etc are just full of it.

Posts today that made me want to shout !
My would be reply in brackets !

Thanks dad
( their dad is not on fb)

I love my sons
( i should bloody hope so)

I love my husband
( only because he lets you get away with being a tart)

You can hide peoples posts that annoy you without having to unfriend them!

Hahahaha @ (your dad's not on FB) lmao. OP, fuck Facebook! Only crazy women and men who are desperate for attention and arguments go on there these days. It's considered old fashioned to go on there as far as social media is concerned anyway. Come off there. I swear, I deleted my Facebook and all of a sudden...I wasn't as anxious or on edge as before. I became happier. I started seeing the little funny things in life again. And I was only using it a few days a week! I couldn't imagine what would happen to my brain after daily use. It's a drama pool and a paradise for shit stirrers. Just delete it and thank me later.

I second that
I came off last Oct. I do miss sharing the important things but I couldn't stand the shit on there. And I would check all the time.
I may go back in the future but right now it makes me anxious so no

I stay on it just to keep in touch with a few people but the most exciting thing I post is cat stuff!!!!
My bf nutty ex put a stop to fb for me and due to my job I have a profile that not many people know.

It makes me laugh as the comment about her dad is so ppl ask why what he done and no one has !!

I don't care to know and hate people knowing my business so I'm not on there at all.

I love Facebook, it has kept me thoroughly entertained throughout the last 12 months. I don’t have a lot of fun friends, intentionally, just a lot of family. But I do belong to some local groups which provide endless hours of fun. If someone gets annoying I just hide their posts.
My family are spread around the country and overseas so we keep in touch via Facebook. Posts and photos are kept private and it has been great reconnecting with my cousins who I grew up with.
If you ignore the sm divas it’s actually a great way to stay connected. I know the people I share with too well for them to bother trying to show off.
One big plus with lockdown is that the born again gym bunny can’t clock into her gym every morning. It is very noticeable that she hasn’t posted a selfie in months.

*fun =fb

I never understood why people say on Facebook how much they love their spouse. Isn't that something you say privately or if in front of people, at a wedding?

I use Facebook to post pictures of my cats and places I go for walks. If people want to know my business they can call or message.

Or when people say "Happy birthday to my 3 year old daughter, you are my life".

Translation = everyone give me likes and attention as my 3 year old isn't on Facebook.

Or ''sending you love in heaven dad''.

Translation = give me attention (as their deceased father is not on Facebook)

It's all so narcissistic makes me cringe.

I love FB. I use it as a way of recording events, especially now that there is the "on this day" feature so it's nice to look back a year or two etc. If people don't like it they can unfollow or unfriend me!

My next door neighbour started a fresh thread on Facebook last week which was a direct, personal message to her partner, as in, "Dear Pete, you mean the world to me, I can't imagine life without you. You are the love of my life...." blah blah blah - it went on for about 20 lines of nauseating syrupy hogwash. And she tagged him. Then underneath I saw his reply, where he said the same sort of things back to her.

I found this utterly bizarre because they live together and see one another every single day!

What's all that about?

I normally see a lot of the I love you hubby posts when she done something !

This isn't exactly a scientific study or anything lol. But I've noticed that all of the couples I've seen on FB who have been publicly declaring their love for one another, have all broken up. Funny that, isn't it? It's almost as though they feel by protesting too much they're convincing everyone that their love is superior and longer lasting than anyone elses.

I have nothing against people who use it for keeping in touch with family and storing pictures etc. I will say that FB is fantastic for keeping your pictures all in one place. It's also great with the presentation of your pictures and friends/family contact as well. But sadly, people have abused that purpose and have turned it into a cesspool of hatred and negative competition. It's full of backstabbers, cheaters, (yes, an unusually large amount of infidelity for some reason) and the most popular and worst type of FB clown is...the common liar.

The lies I used to see on there were concerning, if only for the sheer number of them. Lying to one another. Lying about one another. Lying for one another. Just little webs of deceit, peppered throughout the entirety of the website.

Anyway, sorry for the rant but FB has caused me a lot of mental anguish (in case you hadn't noticed lol). And there have been studies which suggest I'm far from alone.

Whatever you decide to do OP you seem like a decent person so you'll be fine.

I fully agree with you , when she was playing around the I love my husband posts increased 10 fold lol.
Mother's Day she did a big post about her mom who not on fb including pictures of a meal last year managed to not include me or my husband in all 17 photos !
I saw a post last week about her n hubby her mate said your so lucky etc but well this mate was bitching about her in supermarket only day before.
I unfollowed her , still see the occasional post but trying not to let it get to me !
