Not Rubbing it In

Not a rant!

I was thinking of something I wanted to say and it didn't seem appropriate for any other form of social media, and then I remembered blogging. AKA you guys are my last resort.
Sorry.
If there were any of you reading, I would feel guilty.
Allons-y.


So I don't believe in posting on facebook about things you just did with people and how fun they are.
Reason 1) The people you were with KNOW they were with you. They know if they had a good time. You know if you had a good time. They don't need to see it on a public facebook message. If it was too good not to marvel at, that's what texting is for.

The real reason, though, and this is Reason 2, is actually really personal to me. I just don't think other people need to know exactly how much fun you've been having without them. When I was breaking up with my ex-best friend (and yeah, it was breaking up) she would sometimes post on facebook about having a great time with other friends -- sometimes mutual friends -- and tag them and they'd like it. And it broke my heart, to be honest. Wanting to spend time with someone who won't return your calls and then seeing them posting about going out with other people? It's devastating.

And obviously most of us don't ignore our friends before we flaunt on facebook, but I just couldn't stand doing that to someone. And maybe it's because I've been saddled with some trust issues, but even when I read statuses like that from friends that I KNOW I am on good terms with it still stings. No one likes to hear that other people had a good time without them. And as per Reason 1, there's really no reason to do it. Unless you are using facebook as like an electronic diary, in which case, stop.

A lot of things from that breakup still scar me, and that's one of them.

WHOOO that was a quick little post about quick little pet peeves. How are you?
What's your favorite color? What's your favorite way to prepare an egg?
