Facebook

Another rant...

Facebook... It is a place to let your friends know what you’re up to, what you’re listening to and what meme’s you have seen recently.

It is meant to connect everyone and be an easy way to keep up with friends and have your friends keep up with you, without having to be social.

It is not that. At least, not my Facebook.

My Facebook is full of "You okay, hun?" and “DM me, babe.” Just not with punctuation, or even correct spelling.

I am constantly scrolling through and seeing posts about heart break and people playing on mental illness for sympathy. 

I can’t even count how many posts I have seen today saying something along the lines of, 

"The problem with me is I feel too much, I see too much, I give too much and that is my biggest mistake. That is why my heart is broken."

Yes, I am sure I have shared things similar to this in my 10 years on Facebook, but not to the extent of some people I am “friends” with.

There is one person who posts about how they can’t cope, they are a terrible person, no one likes them. Then when someone asks if they are okay, they reply that they are fine or “just had a moment.” Or, they rant about a family member or friend that pissed them off, which has nothing to do with their original post. Then, a few days ago, they posted how they hate people that do that! 

What? Really? Do you not see the hypocrisy?

I saw a post today about someone who has broken up with their partner and the comments are full of people who want the attention on themselves. 

"I understand how hard it is hun because I’m going through..."

“You need time to be single, like me, because being single for me has been...”

Really? Can’t you just be there for your friend? Do you have to make it about yourself?

Then there are the people that use Facebook to call out someone because they are behind a keyboard and don’t have to deal with that person face to face.

People who have just been dumped or had a falling out with their other half and they use Facebook to bitch about them. Bitching about what this person did and how the other person is not the victim, they are. 

It always starts off with, "I don’t want to post this, but..." or "I never thought I would put this, but..." or "It breaks my heart to say this, but my other half is a ****."

Then, a few days later, sometimes just hours later, they post how in love they are... I swear, some people need a time out before posting on the internet.

Facebook was fun, years ago, when it was just sharing what you’re up to and sharing pictures of your day or weekend.. Now we have Instagram for that.. Or Twitter... and I like them better.

I pretty much use it to show off my many hair colours, or share meme’s that I find funny.

If your sick of the drama on Facebook, you can always start a blog, like me, to bitch about everything and have about 5 people read it!

Anyway, rant over... I swear this blog won’t be just rants.. It’s just that right now, that is all I have to write...

After all of this, I am probably going to go on Facebook... It is an addiction...

Until next time... Bye!
