It's that time of year!!!
I'm about to clean out my "friends" on Facebook.
I'm just tired of negativity and whining and people I just really don't even know! I've got friends on there that I don't believe I've ever said one word to in person. Why should they be on my timeline?
Types of people that I'm saying goodbye to:
1. My boyfriend/husband did {insert romantic crap here} for me! I really feel like this needs no further explanation. Why do you feel the need to tell us every dang detail of intimacy that happens between you two?! Recently a girl from my hometown was MADLY in love with this guy they dated for forever and posted all their cute lovey dovey pictures and romantic happenings...he was cheating on her. Hello!?!? Some stuff you gotta keep private and to yourself.

3. Obama (or any president) haters. I really don't care about your complaints and stupid photos that you've found on the internet with fake statistics just to make our president look bad. I know we have "rights" to vote and voice our opinion, but how is that picture of Obama with a snide remark on it going to change anything? It's not. So shut up.

4. Who's birthday is it? We've all done it! You see that little list of people who's birthday is today, and out of the 5 people listed, you only wish one of them a Happy Birthday. If I don't say Happy Birthday to you on purpose, we aren't close enough friends to be on Facebook.

5. Wanna be novelists. Every status is about 2-3 paragraphs long. If you want to write that much in one status, why not start a blog!? It's so easy and you can actually type more if you want!! You don't even have to start it off with, "Here's a small rant" because you can just rant away here on the blog!

So, if you're one of these types..I'm sorry but you're not going to be my friend on Facebook much longer. & You know what really sucks? Is when half of the people that fall under these categories are family. You can't delete family members, otherwise you won't hear the end of it. At least, that's how my family is. I check Instagram and Twitter more now because my family members aren't on there...yet. =|
My grandma has talked about getting a Twitter. Twitter is my safe place. That's where I can say semi-dirty words without hearing the end of it. Wheras, on Facebook, I hurt people when I say "crap." Family needs to stay off Twitter
ReplyDeleteMy words exactly!! I fear the day that my grandparents discover twitter =|
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES YES YES YES YES
ReplyDeleteYou got me going through my fb friends! Bye bye "friends"
ReplyDeleteI recently did the same thing. I also spent 3 hours and told Facebook to never notify me for any type of peoples status so now my feed is just news and pages I like. Which is how I like it.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I'll now be known as the Facebook killer ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind reading some statuses from my friends and family..but that definitely seems like a smart idea!
ReplyDeleteYes to ALL of these! Why I rarely even go on there anymore.
ReplyDeleteI manage my work page, and I tell myself every day that if I didn't have to get on my account to manage it...then I wouldn't have fb!
ReplyDeleteThe family dynamic of not being able to delete family members is very true. I've taken the rather bold strategy of basically not accepting friend requests from anyone in my husband's family...which probably doesn't help me that much when it comes to real life integration...but they are from a different culture and their methods of using facebook are very different compared to mine...so I just stay away.
ReplyDeleteI would argue, though, that if you're friends with family members and people you actually like and they are married--it's not wrong for them to occasionally post about their marriage. Anniversaries are real milestones that I believe are worth being proud of. And I enjoy seeing friends putting up a wedding picture on their 20th anniversary, or something like that. It makes me smile. At the same time--I would recommend that all teenagers should put a rule on themselves that they should NEVER post about relationships because all those posts are really hard/impossible to delete and could be really embarrassing later.
I have no problem with married people posting about their happiness..in moderation. The people I'm really referring to are the ones who literally post 3-4 times DAILY about their fantabulous husband/man/boyfriend whatever lol. I think a lot of posting can really hurt a relationship, some of those things need to be kept private and to yourselves.
ReplyDelete& YES teenagers and their love affairs hahaha. I completely agree with you on that! I'm so happy Myspace is no longer a thing because I'm sure some of my posts were embarrassing of my 6th grade love issues.
I absolutely love deleting people from my fb list. Haha I find it a bit uplifting. That probably says something bad about me though... x
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't think that would be a bad thing about you!! We should be staying positive and if that involves deleting the negative people out of your Facebook, then you go girl!! :)
