Airing out dirty laundry on social networks...

[NoDak]

I leave my personal issues off Facebook. Sometimes, I look through the Status Shuffle and find something that seems fitting and post that. Usually, I go for funny statuses as several of my contacts have told me that they get a laugh out of it, so, I try to keep them happy.

There is a reason the founder of FB referred to users as "dumb f@%ks". He may have said it in relation to the private data people have shared with him to use FB but the banality of many posts reinforces the comment.

My niece left her FB page open and her younger brother went on and typed in her profile 'I just took a BIG dump!":24:

Is it me or does it make others seem pathetic?

What? You mean like you do on here all the time? If you want to make threads on here moaning about your step dad ect, I have no problem with that but airing out your dirty laundry on a social network is exactly what you are doing there.

What really gets me is people who write statuses that dramatic and overblown, but give no details. A guy I went to school with posted this morning about how he's 'completely disgusted, can't believe you'd do something like that. Think I need to do some thinking over the next few days, you've disappointed me'.

But with no mention of who the fuck he's talking about! It's such an obvious 'go on, ask me what's going on' move.

i agree

Talking about family issues on here is A LOT different but whatever makes you feel better.

i say
say what you want but if all you say are things nobody
wants to talk about except to bitch at you
then you get what you deserve (curly fries)

i do have interests in peoples personal lives
gives me comedy and truth

Isn't a forum a social network of sorts? Both are a site where friends can come to chat and talk about whatever the fuck they feel like. Unless I'm mistaken, quite a few people on this forum talk about their personal lives? If you don't like it, don't read it.

98% of the people on my FB i actually know IRL and see them regularly. I dont care for them to know all my business

I dont personally know ANYONE on message boards so sharing personal stuff is no big deal cause i'll never meet the people on there

Explain.

I'm complaining about my family not someone's baby mommas momma that i want to punch upside the head. Or this bitch is sleeping with my man type of shit.

Oh, so airing personal family stuff isn't dirty laudry but if it's about someone you don't really know, like, people who do planking, for example, that is? Gottcha. :thumbup

 

[Dana]

Whatever dude I'm not arguing with you. It's like talking to a 5 year old.

I have no problems with people ranting about problems... But when you're just posting nonsense for everyone to read in your feeds, it gives off a bad vibe. someone was talking about someone talking shit. Keep your dramas to yourself and those who are concerned.

shit! we better delete all your threads then! :sarcasm

 

[cam elle toe]

I may air a litlle now and then....but then again..I havent befriended every Tom Dana or Harry thats crossed my path either. So my FB "FRIENDS" are ones I know wouldnt CARE that I do...or bitch about it somewhere I couldnt see.

 

[Darrell]

My Mom is a repeat offender at this. So much that I don't have her as a friend on Facebook. :24:

When Im mad or aggravated, Ill say Im pissed.. but I usually dont go into details. I mainly say good stuff. lol

 

[Abcinthia]

It is pathetic. But I love to read it for juicy gossip for when I meet up with friends.
