Annoyingly vague Facebook statuses

[Brooke_the_Phoenix]

So, I was scrolling through Facebook just now, and one of my friends has a status update saying: "Over yer s**t man.. Grrrr."

Naturally, people asked who she was talking about. She responded saying she doesn't "wanna post it on my status..."

-_-

Like, you do realise that people are going to ask who the hell you're talking about right? And she does this basically once every week, this same person just posts vague statuses about how they're "over" it or "I thought I could trust you, but then you do this to me." And then people ask what's wrong or this is about, and she either replies with "inbox" or something along the lines of "it doesn't matter."

Ranting is fine sometimes, healthy even. It would be hypocritical of me to say that ranting isn't good, since I'm ranting right now. But rant to the people who know who the hell you're talking about instead of begging people who don't know who you're talking about to ask about it, just so you can be all "Oh I don't want to post it on my status."

Why post that you're angry at someone to all of your 943 Facebook friends if you don't want them to know what you're talking about? What does that achieve, apart from keeping the few people who actually still care what's going on after the 100,000th vague post in suspense, or getting sympathy from distant acquaintances you haven't spoken to in years, or making people who are tired of vague Facebook statuses even more annoyed?

Sorry, rant over. Just had to get that off my chest. Now for the obligatory question to leave everyone with: Do you also want to throw your phone at the wall when 30% of your Facebook news feed is filled with this one person leaving vague statuses?

Omfg I hate it when people do that; most of the time they're just looking for attention. =______=

 

[meowduck]

Or they're like
"Fml.. Need someone to talk to"
And people approach and then they're like
"I don't wanna talk about it"

I don't use Facebook, but yeah that **** is annoying everywhere. They just want attention.

 

[Shimmer]

People like that are usually just wanting attention.

 

[SoftFairie]

I have a family member who does this same thing on fb, she pisses me off -_-

 

[Seren]

People like that are usually just wanting attention.

This so much, it is complete attention seeking behavior. I haaaate it.

 

[boujee]

This one person made a post talking about how they need someone to talk to because their anxiety and acting up.
I sent them a message asking if they were okay(well ofc not but something friendly) and if they need someone to vent to(?). I also made a list of things to calm them down and sent the reply. I didn't get a response till three days later. It wasn't even a inbox reply but a public one stating "whenever people are nice to me I just get scared". ??? Then they later make post talking about how they hate mean people and I'm like

Facebook's algorithm has detected that I quite frankly don't care about anything my friends are posting so now it mostly just shows stuff from The Best of Tumlbr.

I stopped using facebook long agoooo. Too many selfies of "Friends" and annoying drama and more stuff I didn't like. Made my account private and hidden so no one will bother me hopefully....The last straw for me was when some people were harassing this one person who was depressed and I just blew them off and left facebook. Yeah no facebook is the worst

 

[ZetaFunction]

This is something that definitely irritates me to no end! No one ever understands what they're trying to say, and they just come off as emo or edgy or that they have issues. I have a few friends that post stuff on Facebook like that and are always making "pity me" or "i h8 u!!" posts that you can obviously tell are meant to just grab attention.

 

[Llust]

ugh, those are the worst - i am being a bit hypocritical, though. i do that sometimes when i get pissed over something, but once i calm down, i'd realize how stupid it is and delete it. if you're going to vent about something, make it obvious as to what you're talking about. otherwise, reading your status is a waste of our time

 

[RainbowCherry]

Wtf, vague post about people that are vague, if you DON'T WANT TO TELL US WHO YOU YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, DON'T POST IT ON YOUR THREAD!




Dumb jokes aside, I don't use facebook, but it's so grabby and slimy it's already made me only want to go on facebook to throw playground insults.

 

[TheGreatBrain]

Unfortunately, my sister does that. I love her dearly, but it is very annoying.

 

[seliph]

who cares lmao it's just a way for someone to vent

 

[meowlerrz]

I hate it so much, my sister does that every week as well. She always puts something on Facebook and then when people confront her about it or ask her, she tells them to stay out of her business which makes absolutely no sense since she puts it up there for literally everyone to see. Does she expect people to ignore it or something? If so why not change privacy settings? I don't get people like that at all and they annoy me.

Nothing like "life sucks" as your status to make people want to talk to you. . . not -.- I've unfollowed anyone on facebook who annoys me. . . which is a lot of people.

 

[padfoot6]

I haaateee that, I used to have a friend who would continuously post mopey statuses and when I would try to check on them they would say that they didn't want to talk about it or that it didn't concern me or something. Then they'd add all of their friends into a group chat and update the chat every second of the day, sometimes I'd come back to around 200 messages of them just talking about their day...of course they'd add back anyone who tried to leave. Anyway, it got old really fast and I don't really talk to them anymore because I'm just tired of dealing with that level of immaturity.

 

[Chiisanacx]

People posting screenshots of chats where people argue and fight, literally no one even wants to know this you're basically exposing the person you're fighting with which is unnecessary? Attention seekers :/

 

[Celestefey]

I don't really let it bother me because I only care about what a small minority of people post on Facebook (close friends) and if other people are annoying me I either just block their posts from appearing on my feed or I remove them altogether (usually only if I know I'm not gonna see them again or if I know they wouldn't even care). Some people take Facebook too seriously which is laughable.
