why? example... someone on my list has gone on holiday and seems to have spent most of her time posting pics and reporting on what they are all doing on holiday? sad IMO

why do people think they have to let everyone know all the details on their lives

But if you're reading, watching, and discussing her, surely that's exactly what Facebook want?

I understand the odd smug pic or anecdote but most of them are devoid of personality or having a life, thus every inane detail gets posted. Same people who go to live music gigs and film the whole thing on their phone.

I find myself unfriending or hiding these people. I call them arseholes.

Personally as much as I dont announce what I do, where I go or what tribulations I may have. I am finding myself more and more tied to social media than I used to be.

I do see your though point OP - that people do post either mundane or utterly personal details about ever part of their lives for the world to see.

It is something I try to steer clear of myself, and use it for what it is, a catch up, a nosey or some form or relaxation

I just unfollow the whingers... then I don't need to see any of the shite. I quite like to see my friends having fun on holiday though. I guess when you're lying around by the pool there's time to add photos. I'd far rather see happy stuff than the miserable crap!

Facebook gets on my (male) tits, I unfriended all friends and family and my profile is only people from a charity I volunteer for (as I run the fanpage). I figure people who care about me will keep in touch in person or in phone.

Now nobody keeps in touch lol.

Someone on my page got married about 6 months ago and there's still daily updates about it to this day (literally).

Exactly lol. I hardly know the lass, she just volunteers for the charity now and then so I need to keep in touch with her but Jesus wept! For the love of god love, you got married, get over it.

Worst thing is, today, yes today, she announced she got pregnant. So the next 10 years are booked up then

Facebook suits many and I'm told helps lonely people feel connected.

I enjoy the more adult nature of Fab. I'd rather have a few good Fab friends than the hundreds some have on Facebook

Only comment is that I don't understand why such excellent sites are run from the other side of the pond - can't we have a UK hosted social site?

I read lately that if you post pics whilst on holiday and you then proceed to get burgled, that your home insurance might be invalidated. Apparently its considered advertising your absence.

Everyone is a narcissist to a degree, Facebook relies on that fact. I only use it to post artwork and crap jokes. It breaks up the infinite stream of gym check-ins, how many 'sleeps' people have till their next holiday/wedding/festival, and photos of babies that couldn't care less. That said, I'm crap with remembering birthdays, so there is that!

I don't live my life out on there (or on any other social media pages) but I do post a few holiday pics & check in at various places.

I unfollow anyone who plays the games & send invites as it clogs up the news feed ~ otherwise I really don't care how people use it.

I even have one women on my friends list who goes out shopping weekly and then comes back and post pictures of the number of bags she has bought(not just randomly thrown down either) you can tell she has taken some time to position them carefully so each and every designer name can be seen on each bag.

It's like going to a concert or somewhere and just recording it on camphones or video recorders - it's dissociated from the potentials of real life.

I'm a newbie to facebook, I started when we where planning our 50th reunion.

The friends I have are rlf.

I love seeing their holiday pictures, grandchildren pics, at the moment its been different pics of how all those that where 50 this year spent their birthdays.

Never thought I'd enjoy it, but I enjoy the way I use it it.

I've become rlf with my sons g/fs family and its good to keep in touch with them as they live away.

I use it to keep in touch with far flung family & friends. Since becoming a single parent it's even harder to meet up with them.

Also, I'm still in touch with a lot of the ex's family & friends on FB as it's an easy way for us to keep in contact without awkward meetings!!

The boys are off to Turkey with their dad tomorrow & taking my camera so the pics will be uploaded on their return. If people don't want to see they can just unfollow me

"If you consider it smug or annoying to see your friend enjoying themselves on holiday.

Then you are not their friend.

That's utter bullshit and you know it. The annoyance isn't that they're enjoying themselves, it's that they're uploading so many pics that appear in your FB feed. "

It must be utterly fucking mortifying to be forced to suffer such injustice.

"thanks for the comments I have unfriended her ... everyone has different opinions about facebook

im not bitter about her enjoying herself ....I hope she enjoys everything she does now ..and in the future

That's going to be awkward next time you bump into her.

will never happen as she lives miles away

Not really a friend then I guess.

online friend "

I think if you add random people then their posts will inevitably grate more than 'real' friends

I don't post on facebook but i'd rather look at one or two pics of my daughters on holiday than listen to untold hours of it when they get back.

Also I know they are safe and having a good time while it's going on.

Funniest bit about this thread is that the OP said she has already unfollowed whoever it was so no pics or updates appear in her feed so the only way to see them was to go on Her page to look.. And then still moan about it!

I unfollowed someone I know coz her constant moaning was doing my head in. She's none the wiser and I don't have to see it! Problem solved.

"why? example... someone on my list has gone on holiday and seems to have spent most of her time posting pics and reporting on what they are all doing on holiday? sad IMO

why do people think they have to let everyone know all the details on their lives

I love seeing my friends enjoy themselves when they're doing something fun. I love experiencing something through my friends eyes.

And I love showing people the amazing things I'm seeing while I'm experiencing something new.

Why wouldn't you enjoy that?"

This for me too...

If it annoys you perhaps dissacociate yourself from that aspect? There's always people in the world who will somehow inexplicably irritate us, but instead of pondering why or trying to change it, just remove the vexation from your life x

and yet you share with us your marital problems and issues..

i use facebook too do exactly what you hate, im pretty selective wth those i have on my page and believe my security settings are set so no one can see certain images.

its like a life long diary of events and love looking back at the adventures we get up too.

I travelled to Morocco on my own and my family were glad of the daily updates and pictures of me enjoying myself.

I do find it strange though when someone dies the first thing people do is take to Facebook.

My parents and relatives are blocked on Facebook for that reason.

If you don't like it then delete your account or remove them as friends.

They have just as much right to post pictures as you have to moan about it.

I deleted my account a long time ago and haven't looked back.

I do use Facebook and I upload holiday pics etc but I don't post every day. I mostly use it to play games. It is useful for keeping in touch with friends or ex work colleagues you don't see very often.

I'm not keen on the silly videos that people share and some content I've blocked.

The holiday pics are the most interesting for me.

I am more of a fan of Instagram than Facebook though.

Don't mind the holiday snaps on FB

It's the attention seeking status posts that I find saddest. Things like " oh god could things get any worse!!" Or " I'm having such a terrible day" all designed so people will respond with " oh what's up Hun, hope your ok ring me" etc etc

Why post shite asking for attention just ring your friends ffs.

FB is great for having a bit of fun and keeping in touch but posting every aspect of your whole life is a bit sad

If it isn't on Facebook it never happened. At least I'm guessing that's the mentality. It's like those Japanese children that get paid by their parents to travel the world to see all the sights... with one important proviso that they show proof that they have been there. That's why they all swarm off to these landmarks and get photos of themselves standing in front of it. If the photo didn't exist they might as werll never have been there... Facebook is the same imo

Its all social totemism, one-upmanship, and the pretence that life is all wonderful and rosy, when the mere fact that they're on Facebook at all is ample evidence that their lives are as dull as shit and they're trying desperately to con themselves that it isn't by talking incessantly about all the useless shit they imagine other people might be interested in. Its like a social club for boring people

"Or a social club for antisocial people! "

Well considering my mates finally convinced me to join it about 4 years ago but I have only logged onto it about 4 times, posted nothing, and replied to only one comment... heck I even delete Facebook's notification emails as spam... I'd say that's about right from me

My general rule is... if you can't be bothered to email me about it then it can't be that important or interesting... and if Facebook can't be bothered to tell me what my mates posted in the email it sends me then why should I bother logging onto it? I'm afraid the whole "your friend just said something" thing does absolutely nothing for me... I'm sure all of my friends are saying things all the time. If they want me they know where I am
