hi! Maybe its their attitude to tell everyone about them or what happened to them. Some just want alms of comfort or attention. I really don't know . Sometimes I get annoyed with some people in Facebook for doing that. Private things are meant to eb private and they want it to be public .hmmm.

It anoys me aswell, I feel facebook is to stay in touch with old freinds and family, not to complain or leave a status that the world can see and say shame.. Lol you have a good point.

Hello, For the youngers kids and teenagers it like text messaging to them. It is short and sweet. If they write messages it takes longer and they have to think more. Most of friends just want to see what they are up too really quick. Remember the longer the post more we have to read if you have 50 friends it may take hour to read all those long messages.

I never get that either really. I mean, wouldn't Facebook be actually a more public venue and actually more people would know how you are feeling. Yet, you refuse to say it one on one with people that you are going to trust. I never really get some people. Granted, there are some people who I don't think that we were really meant to understand it. There are a lot of things on Facebook that people share and I wonder if they are really thinking about it. Then again, emotions are going to really lead to a lot of impulses to say the very least. Yet they have to put that up on the Facebook wall for everyone to see, yet cannot talk it out one on one. That is kind of baffling when you think about it.

I believe a lot of people who do that are attention mongers and dont care if their personal stuff is there for all to see.. As a reader I sometimes feel really irritated when people do this instead of confiding in their close friends.. But then thats how certain people are and it is difficult to change them

It is never really easy to open up how you feel to others. People just use their status as an outlet of how they feel but usually, they use replacement words or phrases to describe how they feel but not really the exact or direct words about how they feel. i think it's a good thing that they use facebook as a tool of letting go rather than keeping it to themselves. :)

hello, Yeah, well maybe that's how Facebook works. That is true sometimes it is really hard to show our feelings personally but it is much easier to share in Facebook. So, that they know if somebody will really care for them. If somebody will try to help them in there problems. Those people are open to public.

I think it is easier for them to shout everything over the internet. I think they don't have the guts to tell that to a dear friend or something else. And also it is editable so they can't get caught somehow. Or you had made a printscreen.

haha, they want attention and not sure about them self, having no self esteem. i dont like such person. i think facebook is not the right place to just complain be such ahopeless person. i use facebook for having discussion in groups and doing some microjobs which ask me to promote sites using facebook
