Facebook has become even more of something that makes me pull :C faces...not very intuitive to use! Alas, I'm a moron when it comes to figuring out how the hell to do something when it's not really bloody abvious :stare: Another reason why I avoid facebook xD
|
I was worried I couldn't sort by most recent. Then I found out you could. :D
I don't mind timeline. I spent a week removing stuff from it so it looked ok ^^ I like the cover picture. I have a nice one ^^ |
The thing that I've heard people say about facebook over and over again that I agree with is: "Facebook gives you the delusion that people care." I mean, it's not 100% true, but how many people are actually sitting there reading about how your cat had to go to the vet?
|
Exactly. I have a few people who would, but not all of my "friends" on facebook would.
|
Hey, I care about my friends' pets! D:
|
Lol, it was just an example. It's more aimed towards the people who have 600 friends on facebook and think it shows that all of them care. Most likely not.
|
I'm not as picky as I know most of my facebook friends to be. The only status updates I absolutely cannot stand is the ones about sex, drugs, getting drunk, constant cursing, bad grammar and spelling, and statuses about things that just don't make sense. I know that most hate it when people complain, start drama, and tell what they're doing constantly on facebook--I'm like that, minus the drama. Most of my statuses consist of quotes, song lyrics, and complaining about certain issues.
I can't stand statuses about ____ because: * Sex because I think that it's pretty stupid for a person to brag about or go off about it. Your sex life is supposed to be personal and nobody else's business. * Drugs because I think it's just flat-out disgusting. Any form of drugs disgusts me and I think is very wasteful and immature. I just don't like to see it at all. * Getting drunk because why the hell would you brag about that. "Oh, I'm going to get wasted." No, you're appearing more immature. It's also disgusting and I just don't see any point about it. Your life sucks to the point you think you need to get wasted all the time? Maybe you should see a therapist. * Constant cursing because you can only curse so much before you appear highly immature to me. Saying the F-word isn't very appealing to see in every one of their updates. * Bad grammar and spelling because...face it. Who likes to see a status where they make the most obvious mistakes and talk "lyk dis"? Not me. I mean, I understand it when typos happens, but making it a habit isn't very appealing in my sense. * Things that don't make sense because it just leaves me sitting there, staring at the my computer screen with my glasses on going all, "Huh...........? I...I put my glasses on and still don't understand this." It's just so annoying to see statuses like that. Have some common sense, people! But I I've never blocked anyone's updates. I would just unfriend them and get it over and done with. Or if they were someone I talk to regularly, I would point it out to them like a civil being. |
I agree with the statuses that just don't make sense. I have this one chick on facebook who posts these updates that look like song lyrics:
Quote:
She always posts them so that she uses enter instead of a period, and they tend to be about nothing in general, so you look them up thinking "hey, this has to be song lyrics because it's so meaningless...." and every once in awhile you get lucky, but most of the time you're left looking at the screen in confusion. |
I'm very picky about what my statuses are because I am going into Grad school in the Fall, I'm looking for work, and I'm a supervisor in a youth group.
I have to be good :D |
Weird posts as well! They just...really make me feel awkward. Like, a lot.
|
I get annoyed with the people that brag about their fianceé and the things they do together all the freaking time and rub their love life in my face.
I don't do that. I'm good with not saying much. :P |
Ah yes, passive-aggressive and/or vague statuses. I see plenty of those, they're really annoying. Like, why don't you just talk to the person directly instead of whining vaguely to them via status? That or actually tell us what's wrong instead of just saying "so pissed..." or something. Worse is when they post that and someone asks them what's wrong and they say they don't want to talk about it. Why post about it publicly then? :lol:
I do like the timeline, though. I'm sort of a compulsive profile editor. I have all my "favorites" sections alphabetized, and I keep the top five that display automatically reflecting my top 5 favorites. I check my profile regularly and delete things that I didn't mean to have post (like game shit - no, I didn't need to tell everyone what I just played in Words With Friends, thanks). So when I got Timeline, I spent a good hour going back through it, highlighting some things, deleting others, adding life events... It's ridiculously anal, I know, and I know no one will ever look, I'm not so deluded as to think anyone really cares. But on the off chance one person ever looks, I want it to look nice. It's a reflection of myself, after all. I do make judgements about people based on what's on their profile, afterall. Might as well make sure mine's as accurate as possible. |
I'm not much of a fan of Facebook, either. One friend only posts links to other people's stuff. Another just rants about gay and lesbian rights, and makes anti-human/pro-animal posts. Another is just plain depressing. (But I think she has postpartum depression. Never listens to me though..) And I can't count all the "I hate _" "Ow! Pain" and "My day sucks" posts that never respond when you try talking to them. D:
Plus it's too complicated for me and confuses me. xD Lol. @Elysium- I love your outfit. C: .. maybe your weird friend is trying to be poetic? But .. what in the world is she saying? : o |
@Sokta: I really don't know, man. I tried, I really did, but that post doesn't make any sense. XD She's like that in real life, too. Not quite as bad, but she's difficult to understand.
And thank you. :) |
You're welcome. :)
That's.. a little scary. I wonder if she was/is drunk? And that would be really scary.. if all the Facebook personalities were true to character. D: |
I'm kinda suspicious she was drunk that night, because her posts come weirder, but they don't come with more weird spelling than that. XD
Honestly, I think she's just like that, and it's kinda her trying to be cool, too. I actually think Facebook is a great place to figure out people's real personalities. The slight anonymity factor lets people be more open on there than in real life since there's no instant repercussions for what they say. |
What annoys me is the ones that complain about there life and totally bugging for sympathy. I deleted this one girl because she kept cussing her parents out and whining when for the smallest stuff. That and those girls who AlWAYS post about love.... so annoying..
|
I'll post about doing stuff with/for my boyfriend. But, I refer to him by his name on the status. No pet names. Sometimes I call him the boyfriend or boyfriend creature.
I just get annoyed by the people who will post about their "boo boo bear" or something. |
Hahaa, oh face book indeed! What Bothers me is when people post stuff like..."Omg, so an so can go to hell cause i just had a miscarriage and ive been raped blah blah blah" I sometimes vent online and complain about idiots at wal-martt and such but really? why tell the whole world you just lost a baby and that you have been raped?
I also hate those who post the same status every day... "went to work, came home with my kid, my kid or pet or loved one is my life" and literally they post that every day..... also, speaking of the old FB....if its alright id love for those of you interested to like my page? its a writing page, and yeah lol check it out for details and like it, it would be awesome to have some peeps to chat with and give feedback on poems and writings and other things. if not alright lol NatoshiaLynn[inspired] | Facebook |
I am admitting right now I used to be one of those girls ... the ones that would make you shake your head and mutter about how stupid and how they should get over themselves at the mere sight of my face in your news feed. but I have gotten better :)
only because i have learnt of healthier ways to deal with my problems and talk to peopleinstead of showing everyone .. but now that i dont do i, i cant help but notice how annoying it is and ive become the other side of the coin and I got annoyed at everyone elses stauses hahaha |
I used to be the type to talk about loving the boyfriend. Now I don't do it all the time. Yesterday I posted about making him chocolate chip cookies which he was excited to get this afternoon. He loved them ^^
|
I admit I was really bad about posting on facebook when I first got it, but I think most people do that because of the "new" feeling.
I don't post much anymore, though. Once a week, pretty much. |
Ive had it for maybe 4 years now?
so I'm still in the phase you could say ;) but i think I only post maybe once a day? at that? but I seem to post images alot more then statuses and post on other peoples wall |
March 16th signifies the year mark for me. :lol: *knows that thanks to timeline* XD
I like to post images of quotes--ya know, a pretty picture with a matching quote on it? Yeah, those. :lol: Other than that I tend to post major life events and smart assy comments that I know people will agree with. :lol: |
I've had mine for over 5 years and I'm on every day. I cut back when I'm at school though.
I use it to keep in touch with my friends I don't see much right now and when I'm at school, I use it for friends and family to keep them updated. |
