SOCIAL MEDIA PET PEEVES

Alright I am peeved. So I'm sitting at my desk at work and scrolling through my Twitter and Facebook timelines. (Because between every case I work, I need a mental break.) There is an endless list of things that set me off while scrolling through but the big two for me are:

1.) Posting too personal information on your accounts, and by that I mean posting shit that nobody would care about, and that is so personally relevant to you that you probably shouldn't be alerting the public at large to it, because it makes you look like a pathetic moron. For example, a Facebook friend that I have but I absolutely despise for a number of reasons, (I only remain friends with them because we are both board members for a PR organization.) made a status the other day telling everybody that he was approved for his first credit card. .... .... ..... WHO THE FUCK CARES? People who post that kind of stuff drive me absolutely insane. Or those posters that post everything. Like I'm really happy that you got around to making it to the gym today and you want people to applaud you for that, and I'm gonna let you finish but NOBODY CARES.

2.) Posting all of your inner thoughts and feelings, and being over melodramtic with it to clearly get the attention of somebody or have somebody ask "what's wrong?" Instead of polluting everybody's timelines with posts saying how sad you are or pictures of other people's overdramatic words, talk to somebody. In person. The whole teenage angst thing was cool back in 2010 along with wearing black and pop-punk banks. Move on. Talk to your friends, family, or even a therapist for heaven's sake. Because truthfully, it's pathetic and really pitiful. Like people don't feel bad that you're unhappy, they feel bad that you're being such a lame. C'est la vie! The people who generally post this depressing shit are far to young to be wasting their time and energy, it'll be okay I assure you.

I apologize for the vulgarity, but really if you are that much into yourself or your feelings, seek help. Or like write in a diary or something, but don't put it all over your accounts because in a few years you'll look back and ask yourself "Why did I do that? What was the point?" and "Did anybody actually care?"

Make it a great one!
