Oh please, don’t post contents on your Social network to brag things!

This is sickening, and as a result I totally delete this person from my FaceBook friend’s list. Well, she was an acquaintance of mine; she was a friend of my former Colleague in College. I don’t know if she does this purposely or she just want to feel the need to express herself on social media. It’s annoying to hear her post with regards to her private life such as her work, her needs and wants that she achieved in the weeks that past. I hate the fact that she does not censor posts that are far way off the boarder. Imagine posting that she is so happy that she got her salary (and does mention the amount not to mention uploading a photo holding the cash (ugh,) ), Posting stuffs she bought like Gadgets with captions like “I have my this and that”, like come ‘on! You are bragging things rather than posting that you are fortunate to achieve it. Have you ever encounter such friends over your FaceBook list? Please share your thoughts…

Hi there! I definitely have one like that on my list in FB! She's a new person that I know here in our work assignment and of course since she invited us to be her friend we accepted her. I am fine with her, sometimes I find her funny with her post (funny in a way that is she's like a joke) haha, but I also find her very annoying posting each and everything she's doing. Like when she go here and there, she posted it, when she cooks for breakfast,lunch and dinner and even snacks, she posted it, the pictures of their foods...and everything! She also posted statuses that makes her look like a really religious person but her works doesn't really prove it. And most of all, she also use the FB status to bash people whom she thinks offended her even if its her fault. She also do nasty comments on photos but when you do it to her, again she will bash you in her Fb status! I want to delete and block her on my list, but on the other hand, sometimes she serves as an entertainment to me and I feel like I should keep her for future reference! haha

Well mine is a little bit different though, because some of her friends list also gets annoyed on her content postage over the site. it's not entertaining in a way that she acts so arrogant about her life trying to put up a notion that she has what it takes and puts all good stuffs even the private ones such as papers and all that which is really not desirable to post on public social networks. Thanks for your response.

I also have a friend on facebook that's just like that. She post everything she buys, everything she eats especially expensive foods and stuff. It's kind of annoying sometimes. But what can we do. it's freedom of expression but she expresses way too much and shares too much information that she looks like she is bragging about it. Other people are really like that. Maybe it's their first time to get those thing they are getting and they are just so happy that they earned it with all their had\rdwork and wants to share it to the world. We'll never know the true meaning of their actions.

True, such user is too open to their social network that they don't put cautious actions in their contents over the social networking site.

She maybe did a lot and work hard for it so she just want to express it and the social network it the best place to reach a lot of your friends and enemies lol . So maybe she is bragging on all those who never believe she could reach where she is .

Well probably but others might not like putting such notion on social networking sites most especially putting almost every bits and information about her personal things, it's quite not conforming...

I'm with you on this. Bragging is not something that people like to see. I also don't think its wise to be posting such things because people could track her down and then there could be trouble. I truly believe people who need to post every little thing that happens in their life has no life. I think she was wrong to post the amount of money, that is so wrong. Its just like people posting a picture of their dinner, their new shoes, tattoos, etc.... Its just people having no life in my opinion.

True! very very true! if someone would take consideration on tracking her down they could do such because her information through the social network has been way overboard. Thanks for your response...

Well, it's their choice and I don't mind at all as long as they mind their own business. I have friends who also posts a lot of information and I don't think it's bragging- but maybe they're proud of their achievement.

Well we do have different perceptions on how they put in contents on their facebook account but as for me, i don't like the way she has put such.

I did the same thing. Before New Year, I started to remove the people that I felt so annoyed with. I don't need people who are so arrogant and trying to show-off with no sense at all.

True! very true it sometimes puts a leap between sharing and "arrogance" i don't like such people who takes advantage on social network to feel as if they are "superior" and bragging on things.

There are a whole bunch of people out there in Facebook who does the same. Well, it is kinda annoying sometimes. I do have a long time friend who posted that a certain credit card company increased his credit limit to 2 Million pesos! And he also posted the amount he got from his work at the Senate, all his travels, his latest gadgets and his collection of Louis Vuitton shoes. Seems like bragging, yeah. But it is his kind of way. He got tons of "friends" which I know are only there just because he is connected to "some VIP".

True, sometimes annoying that we are so... not interested about it, however we can't tell them to stop because that's their own account and we have nothing to do with it. I just don't like such people who tends to put on a brag without even knowing that they are actually posting it on the social networking site.

I do have friends like that not actually friend but just a former classmate.. anyways I believe that we are free from posting whatever we like in social medias such as facebook but I also not in to bragging all the things that you received or getting.. it is okey to be thankful for it but posting it what's the used of it.. I think its promoting materialism in this world..!

Yes we are free to do anything on the site. but one should put a barrier between public and private content because it's disturbing sometimes.
