Do you have friends who share TOO much?

Tweet

I have a friend who very rarely rings me. I'm almost always the one to instigate contact. She's the one I wrote about the other day who was on the toilet when she took my call. So for actual real world contact generally it's me who makes things happen. Sadly though in the world of Facebook, she is prone to excessive SHARING to such a degree that I'm almost tempted to switch off her notifications. Generally speaking, I've noticed that the more posts that people share on Facebook, the less they seem to actually THINK about what they are sharing and the less likely they are to stop and ask themselves 'Is this real, relevant or even very interesting?' I confess that I do - like most people - judge my Facebook friends by what they share and far too often I'm left to conclude that quite a lot of them should be locked up without internet access for a good few hours every day and sent to a training course on how to actually check whether things are real or not. I'm so bored of ill-researched assertions about food ingredients, cures for 'cancer', attacks on major companies by those with vested interests in making them look bad. Give me videos of your cat or pictures of your children on their first day at school but don't just keep sharing other people's dumb ideas and propaganda. Rant over.....................for now.
