Yep I'm a FB beetch too :o
I have one girl on my friends list, who I went to grade school with and haven't seen SINCE grade school, who is one for the drama and misery.
In the past 6 mths she has 'had it out' with boyfriends on FB, basically blaming them for 'trampling all over her heart' and posting endlessly back and forth with them (instead of picking up a phone and doing it there).
A recent one started with "I gave you my heart and you smeared it on your windshield of life and walked away without a backward glance" which got his reply of : "but I love you, I asked you to marry me and would do anything for you....you turned me down!"
She turns around and says "Yes, but you ONLY want me and you expect me to walk away from my 4 kids...and I WON'T...I SIMPLY CAN'T......." (from 4 different dads but....NOT JUDGING! lol).
He was apparently mystified by this and said "Eh? I never said that! I love your kids and want you all in my life..." etc etc.
This girl just seems to get some kind of kick out of dramatising her love life, pushing guys away then making a song and dance out of how they 'took her joyous heart and ate it in front of her'.
So, her last status message reads "Why do we love those who treat us so bad?" and I finally caved and replied "Some people are addicted to misery?" So, I am expecting a FB dumping of yours truly. If not, I'll just hide her posts from my feed lol.
Anyone have people like this on their friends list on FB?
Re: Yep I'm a FB beetch too :o
Yeah....you could be describing my younger cousin. She's 18 and has broken up and gotten back together with her boyfriend about 20 times. Every week we fluctuate between "I am the happiest girl in the world, hanging out with my man" and "you shattered my heart and the tiny pieces with never, EVER mend." This is getting old. I'll probably block her posts soon.
ugh - yes. Not quite as bad, but this girl I knew in college is always airing out relationship drama on FB and it just makes her look silly because I'm also "friends" with her ex and he has clearly moved on.
There is also a girl I know that does have some pretty trying stuff going on in her life, but her status messages are always very AW-ish. Like she will post something like how horrible the day was but that is it, so everyone is required to comment on her status to guess what bad thing happened (and with what is going on in her life it could be pretty bad), then she comes on a couple of hours later and posts that she couldn't find cheap airfare or something equally as trivial. Granted some of her statuses do warrant some quality T&Ps but by that time she has cried wolf so much that I don't even bother to read.
Ahhh to be 18 again, where love is a wild rollercoaster ride lol (not really, it shouldn't be THAT up and down yikes!). Hopefully your cousin doesn't end up with multiple kids to as many multiple fathers, like my 'homegirl' haha.
Maui, it does tend to make you think "Geeze, yes life can get challenging at the best of times but at some point you just have to gain some control over reacurring themes in your life!? Or put things in perspective? Am I being unreasonable here?!" Lol.
One of my FB "friends" (she's actually one of my sister's old friends but added me to her FB) is constantly posting how happy she is, "hubby & I are doing this, taking the kids here, had an awesome date with hubby, my wonderful hubby bought me a new coach bag, cooking a great dinner for hubby" which would be fine, except said hubby cheated on her for a long time. Makes me sick just reading it sometimes because I think she's trying to convince herself into thinking she has a great husband. I finally had to hide her posts because I couldn't take it anymore.
ouch. yeah, I think I probably agree with you. sad.
LOVE this Tina!
I recently hid posts from someone like that, but not with the boy chasing after her on her FB wall. To give you a flavor for her personality, her "About me" says: "Best in small doses, not a team player, disdain conformity and have a problem with authority, messy, self revealing, ambivalent about chaos, creative, unpredictable, social, likes to stand out, risk taker, wild, you've never met anyone like me, I will rock your world."
She seems to have a new "love of her life" every. single. month. So there's usually a couple of weeks of "Reeling in the heady passion of love -- truly found my soul-mate -- my other half -- my reflection of myself when I look into the mirror" following soon by another couple of weeks of "You have shattered my reflection into a million tiny shards of glass -- I will never recover from the depths of my soul to which I have sunk -- this agony makes life not worth living -- what is life after your soul has been ripped from your chest leaving a bloody open wound..." Blah blah blah. I couldn't take the melodrama any more.
Oh, AND this is her FB profile photo (she's a photographer that goes to a lot of artsy events that I attend with my artist friends; that's how we ended up as FB friends -- I didn't know her very well at all when I accepted her request:
Melissa...oh man, your drama-queen is in love with her own 'poetic rantings on love'. The men are merely interchangeable figures playing their part, it seems. I don't blame you for throwing in the towel on her lol!
The one thing she has over my own personal FB drama-queen is at least she's a little more creative lol.
That's KLAZZY with a K and two ZZ's! Oy!

what.the.***.is.this???
I have to admit that I'm really diggin all the heart break poetry. Hmm, lets see, if I could combine the cheating husband fb'r and the shattered heart fb'rs, my poem would go something like dis:
...You broke the mirror of my soul into a thousand pieces
I cried me a river
to watch your bloated body float away...
Oh wait...that sounds like a Dateline promo:)

My thoughts exactly!
John has one friend who posted while having a breakdown. Yeesh, not exactly the kind of thing I'd like to share with the world.
WOW!!! I do not have any friends with drama. In fact, my FB friends' updates are more like...
I ate _____ at _____ restaurant (or a photo of their food or drink)
Next day: I should not have eaten ____
I'm going to run ___miles at ___ am
Damn, it ____ed and I didn't run. I didn't zumba. I'm __ sizes bigger than last year.
My kid/dog/cat is sick. Should we go to the doctor/vet?
My kid has the swine flu.
Work sucks.
I have __ days until I go on vacation in ___.
I'm entered in ___ contest. Please vote for me here ___.
Oh, and we've all had kids starting daycare/preschool/school... so, lots of photos of cute kids.
... and no photos of ladies with boobs harder than my head.
Newlyweds since 2007
Off topic, but I keep looking at this...I'm confused. Did they Photoshop out her nipple on the left? Or does she just have wonky nips that look sideways?
lol @ "wonky nips"!
Eeek, I'm guilty of both of these!
When Maya smashed her head after she fell on the bathroom floor last Sunday and had her convulsions and she just started daycare two days a week, 3 weeks ago! (Although, no photos....yet haha!)
Still soul-searching about the daycare thing too lol.
I was wondering the same thing!!
If any of my FB friends start posting updates like these, I might as well glue my head to my desk.
