This girl I use to work with added me to Facebook awhile ago. I added her but dont really bother with a lot on Fcebook. I usually log on, do what I have to do and then log off. I keep logging on waiting for a friends response, and this girl is posting her drama on. It makes my life look and feel boring compared to hers. She started dating this guy about a year ago, I use to work with him as well. She told her family to f*ck off and moved in with this guy and his parents / siblings. She lives there for frree, and doesnt work, nor does he. She posting how stupid her boyfriend is and how shes moving back home. Today she posted how they are in a relationship again, and happy. I ended up blocking her as its just boring, and she keeps going back, yets wants everyone to feel sorry for her something. I mean I post items on Facebook but not the full in depth details, but also just for fun. I mean I have friends who would play along with me and comment, but I wouldnt spread my issues on Facebook.

Sometimes I do post about things that go on in my day be it funny things, rants, or just updating my friends on things (such as going to the city, traveling to visit family in another country etc..). But yes certain details and things I do keep to myself. I DO find it confusing AND annoying... about how people post all this info about themselves and then when they get responses basically telling them to grow up or that actually they are over reacting as a bit of genuine advice... the person that doesnt stroke their ego gets abused verbally. If people didn't want others opinions or advice... then they wouldn't go broadcasting their business on FB. That is just what I think.

Facebook seems to bring out one's uninhabited side. Sometimes we share a little too much online. I generally play games, communicate with family, or post new info on Volstorf Referrals or Memphis Inn East; not very interesting, I know. Most of my socializing is done her on Mylot; it feels much more comfortable here.

facebook is not a place to tell your life story. good thing just to unfriend her because every one has enough drama in their own lives most of the time.

That's really interesting :p What annoys me is when someone posted on their status what they feel and then someone will comment negative, then, that would start a flare up (duh) I wish if someone posted something- they should be open to any comment they might receive whether it is positive or negative. They should not expect people to agree with them always. What is more exciting is- when they won't end the fight (lols)thrashing words -duh!

Oh My God! This is something silly! I mean the statuses she updated about her ongoing situations with her boyfriend and family is seriously ridiculous. Certainly, she shouldn't have been posting things, that too her personal things in detail. Even if she wanted her friends or others to know about it and share her feelings, she should have posted about it briefly rather than in detail. Or she should have messaged the people with whom she wanted to share. Well, I won't say anything about what she said to her family, though what she said was wrong because I don't know her and wouldn't like to interfere in her or others personal matter. But if I would have been in her place, surely I wouldn't post such personal things! And definitely you did a right thing blocking her. Lol! :) ;)

indeed..people who post almost everything, like the food they're eating or whatever they can think of are irritating..i mean, fb's a social networking site but duh..do they really need to tell the world about how they feel about their vegetable?or what their fries taste like?or if she's buying a new shirt..seriously?..and there are others who whine endlessly and tell the world how unfortunate and sad they are..they should get a life..i mean a real one..fb is a social networking site - not our mother.:)

Well I'd do the same if I were in your place. I have no patience with people who make a diary out of Facebook. I also experienced such kind of situation with friends who shamelessly post just about every thing even the most most private ones in their status. I actually blocked one and deleted several others because I can't really tolerate people who love to expose about their personal problems and affairs on Facebook and also those who post things that I found so immoral.

You should have commented something like.."Like we care?" or "So what?" I really find it irritating sometimes and can't understand why people have to post everything on their status. It's really not fun anymore watching and reading it like they are trying to get the sympathy of all their friends. I post status only when I'm super happy and when I appreciate someone so I tag them on my status. I sometimes rant, when there is really something worth ranting and when I am super mad. But, I don't put status with every detail of my life. It's not good at all since facebook is a social networking site where many can stalk you and even get your identity and knowing too much of your life already.

Hey there! how are you? interesting topic. I've had friends who post the nonsense or the not so interesting life stories on facebook. I try not to bother looking at status feeds when logging on to facebook. Same here, I usually log on and do what i feel like doing, then when I'm done, I log off. Speaking of that girl former coworker, do you mean she posts alot of her drama on status feeds? or do you mean she is telling you all this drama rants by personally chatting with you? What you can do if you are still her friend, just unsubscribe from her and you won't see posts from her status feeds. Yeah my parents tell me to becareful posting stufff or too personal issues on facebook on status feeds. I had some friends who rant too much about that..in a relationship blah blah over and over. How do she keep going back after you blocked her? maybe unsubscribe from her if you are able to.

It reminds me of my experience with Facebook. I open my Facebook account just because my colleagues use it a lot and we discuss important things there. However, I am sick and tired of people who post every little detail of their lives on Facebook. It is ok to download a picture once in a while but almost all the people I know do it all the time. We celebrate something, they take photos and they download them all immediately.

I have been friends with those like that on there, mos have either stopped now or they deleted their FB acct or something. I think some of the opinions on there can get out of hand, with a few still. They don't realize how they say they don't like something when there is others who do for instance, in their own words of course. I tr to ignore those. There are alot who never comment, either and one of them wants everyone else to comment on her statuses anyways despite her ignoring most on her friend list (unless she needs "gifts" for her games that is, then she begs ppl to send her stuff--she once asked me on IM to send her free keychains and Disney stuff, like I could do that!), I also know her from MSN groups with 3000+ friends she found mostly on the Net. It was a signature tag group, she would come in on occasion only and post a separate thread for taggers to put tags for her that she requested in that thread so she could find them easier when everyone was supposed to find them theirselves and write down where and what she requested). Some people are just plain ignorant, born that way.

I encountered some persons like that, after all, they make my Facebook page much more colorful than it was, then inserting comments is fun too. The catch is, let the persons post what they want on the profile page and if they want an opinion, try to post as much as you can.
