RANTRANSMISSION: How Facebook is the Sum of All Drama
Let me start off by saying, that over the course of years, I've changed the way I've used Facebook for socializing altogether. I used to write a lot of personal stuff on there, and it caused a lot of drama in the process. I am atoned with the fact that Facebook should be used as a socializing tool to simply let people know I'm still alive, and not how I am feeling unless it's of health-related issues.
So, these past two nights, I have witnessed unnecessary drama among friends over something that wasn't even worth getting stressed over. Now, I love my friends to death, Melissa loves her friends to death, but we would NEVER dismiss our friends maliciously. I feel that for some reason, our friends felt that we even had the galls to do it, and that irritates me.
The whole thing started with Facebook, and it's a GIVEN RULE that Facebook ruins lives. But at the same time, to react to a post that we are either talking to other friends, or hanging out with other friends without including them, is just trivial, as apposed to just calling and seeing what's really up.
Without really going into details (despite this being my journal), I'll say this:
- If we were going to plan an event, we wouldn't NOT include you, even if your name(s) weren't mentioned in the post. And the fact that there wasn't any event planning going on, makes this situation something that should have never happened. A simple text, message, or phone call would have cleared this up.
- No one should have to invite you to an event if they know you would say no because you were either busy or were already out. the thought MIGHT have counted, but why should that make any difference if the plans were originally planned as separate two-person dates that just so happened to, at the last minute, changed to a four-person date out of the coincidence of both parties doing the same thing? And planning ahead is irrelevant, since the original plan was more of an exclusive two-person party to begin with, and was already pre-planned.
- Flipping out over something as trivial as not hanging out with your faves, is unnecessary, and could have easily been easily done with a phone call, text, or whatever. Flipping out on Facebook, above ANYwhere, makes you look selfish, and only putting you at fault for even taking it serious as such.
- The fact that you all remain to be our best group of friends, should be enough to tell you we would not maliciously leave you hanging. You guys should know us WAY better than that.
I needed to get this off of my chest, because it's a shame how Facebook has had such a negative impact as of late, over the smallest of things even. We are all adults, and we have all known each other for a good amount of time, and either invest a lot of our time and our love on you all, or would always have your backs no matter what. It pains me to see statuses like that over something that wasn't even serious, to be directed at us as if we were leaving any of you out of anything out of spite...We are NOT like that, and you all should know this by now.
