Facebook passive-aggressive posts

Ok look, we get it, you want some attention. You put something that sounds sad and/or indicates you have been the victim of some bad behavior, for which you were COMPLETELY not responsible. The world is so terrible and you have NO FRIENDS and you want to leave one place or you wish you could be in one place. Then five minutes later you post some bitchy shitty rant about how much better you and your friends are than common people. Then you wonder why you have no friends. Then you post some check-in and tag a bunch of friends. Then you post about some deeply personal problem and watch the sad comments roll in. I'm exhausted just rehashing that and I have touched on approx 9% of the back-and-forth that I witness with some people on Facebook. In fact, I keep some of them around just so I can watch. And it isn't just 1 person, I can name at least 5 or 6 that do this regularly. If you are reading this blog and seeing yourself, please don't stop actin' a fool online!!!! I'd be sad not having that shitshow to watch.


I can be a hater, obviously. I try to do it with some humor at least. My favorites are the people who are so mean, catty, HATEFUL about the dumbest shit and then they either 1- do the EXACT same thing they were just bitching about or 2- turn around and cry about how someone was SO MEAN to them. Uhhh, hello, we all just watched you take a shit on humanity and now you want to cry about someone doing them same (in a smaller way) towards you?? No. 

I practice what what I preach, if you see me posting things like "Today was the worst day of my life -feeling terrible" or "Why does this ALWAYS happen to me?? -feeling low" or "Everyone always screws me over!! -feeling sad" please God just burn my house down so I can't afford internet access any longer. While we are at it, what psycho at Facebook thought this "feeling like..." option on status updates was a good idea??!!! Do I really need to know that you are "feeling low"? Uhh maybe you should try having a close friend to talk to instead of blasting your dirty chonies all over the Internet Superhighway. 

To the people who post these vague, passive-aggressive status updates regularly, do these make you feel good? Do you get satisfaction out of seeing your contacts worrying or sending equally passive-aggressive comments back? "Don't worry, those jerks will get it back!" "Karma is a bitch!!" "Aww so sorry for you right now." To the commenters: Karma IS a bitch, you don't even know the situation but you are going to support some vacuous post made by someone with questionable integrity? 

Sometimes I am guilty of getting political on Facebook (I'm queer, you try having your country legislate against you and let me know how it feels) and sometimes I get personal on there but mostly it should be to share good things in your life with your friends. If your hands are full of the negative bad energy in life, how will you ever grab ahold of the good positive stuff in life?? I have a horrible tendency to be negative and I fight it on a daily basis, maybe you should try that fight for yourself.
