i can't tell you how many times someone has posted something on facebook that just sounds really idiotic. and i soooo badly want to comment letting them know it. or to make my own post that seems vague but it really so obviously about this person. but i DON'T DO IT. it's reeeeally really tempting sometimes, but as a result, no big cat fights and no confrontations or whatever happens when you have this so called drama.
every once in a while people go on about how there's so much drama on facebook. too much drama and they don't want to be a part of it. or facebook is bad, there's too much drama. really? is there? i don't seem to notice it. does that mean i'm boring or does that mean there's some thing i'm not doing that maybe the complaining people are doing? because i think for most us us facebook is just a way to tell people what you had for breakfast and to have the chance to know what that kid from your old middle school had for breakfast too. let's think about this a little more, is it just facebook that's full of drama, or is your life full of drama too? come on, it's not really the facebook at all is it? if it's not uncommon for you to start a fight with someone- ok nevermind. i'm guessing that if you can't admit it's not the facebook you also can't admit that you are starting these fights. not even fights really, just open bitchy-ness towards certain people where it would be way more appropriate to just rise the fuck above it and act like a more decent and polite human being for like 5 minutes. then when you're done, if you're frustrated and very annoyed, go vent about it with someone that you're close to. no need to post about it on facebook or tell everyone who will listen. that's gossip. gossip is how drama starts. do we all know the story about the feathers? you let out a bag of feathers into the wind and you will never be able to get them all back.
and right now i'm not talking about going onto facebook and complaining about clients, or customers, or for some of you co-workers (assuming you are not dumb enough to "friend" a co-worker you don't like and then openly post shit about them on facebook). i get that, and usually we all are amused by it. since none of the concerned parties are getting involved.
but if you go onto facebook and, for example, post about something annoying your boyfriend does and ask other people if that's normal etc, and your boyfriend is ON YOUR FRIENDSLIST... you are creating fucking drama. YOU are trying to get a rise out of him. and it's your fault and only yours. take some fucking responsibility.
as kathy griffen has said, "say it to your face? no, i was raised right. i'm going to talk about it behind your back." or something. it sounds terrible, but we all do it it! and if we always did it this way we'd get along a lot more.
