Why do people post such personal stuff on FB? - GoFuckYourself.com

96ukssob · 01-19-2010, 09:37 PM

A few people that I have as friends post the most personal shit on facebook. Not like "oh no, I just peed myself" but really personal stuff about how their dad used to beat them when they were a kid.

Maybe I'm missing the point of FB and MySpace... someone posted earlier saying "i hate my life, no one cares about me and sometimes i think it would be better if i was born a frog." I responded with "you should probably just say 'I'm sad today'" then I get beat on by their friends for being a dick and not understand what is going on.

Oh well, today, i have one less facebook friend

Hey, fuck you pal! I don't need you as a fb friend anyway... dick!

I hear ya. It drives me nuts when I see people's status explaining their entire day. It's come to the point I've disabled the news.

I don't see personal stuff but I do see banal stuff. Someone posted yesterday that they just started watching Avatar. I know when I'm in a movie the most important thing is to whip out my iphone(*) and tell everyone!

(*) I don't actually have an iphone, this is just an example. :D

Because people are stupid. And in any case FB posts are admissible in court of law.

those community sites are fucking pointless. Everyone posting their entire life on the web hoping someone else cares what the fuck they are doing..... attention whoring at its finest

it's awesome for potential burglars

fb is about shit

What really pisses me off about Facebook posts are when people say something like this... "Misery and rain, the depths of sorrow fill my soul like an empty void. Nothing can heal the pain." and the comments follow like this:

"I'm so sorry... let me know if you need anything! I'm here for you!"

and

"Such a terrible loss. I'm shocked."

I mean... what the fuck, it's like we're playing Charades or something! Am I supposed to guess what's going on, by reading between the lines? Am I supposed to say "Listen, I don't know what the FUCK you're talking about, but can you just spill the beans without sounding all philosophical and mysterious?"

Here's another example: "I'm so god damn pissed off!! OMG I can't fucking believe it!!"

And the responses:

"Oh girl, don't let it get to you... I'd be pissed off too if that happened to me!"

and

"Jeezz... I can't believe it. Best of luck!"

If they're not willing to shed some light on whatever the hell they're trying to talk about, I don't see any point in actually making it public... it's like they're just trying to be major attention whores. Facebook is the land of the attention whore.

If I were to try and make such an ambiguous post, I'd either get A: No response or B: A bunch of comments that say "What the fuck happened?" What I don't get is why there's such a huge double-standard. Chicks can speak in riddle, and I can't get away with it. Why is that?

rowan · 01-20-2010, 04:29 AM

That's why FB is pretty much read only for me, apart from posting a silly pic every week or so. I don't use apps or play stupid games.

That was actually from a hack, a group hacked tons of fb accounts a while back and this was one of them they messed with.
