a facebook status and subsequent conversation:
Status by Person A: "The definition of a first world problem: people complaining about social network UI changes."
Response by Person B: "I've never bought the "first world problem" thing. It helps to have perspective, sure, but everyone's problems are their own and you live your life having to deal with them. You can't spend every second of the day saying, "Well, it's stupid for this to annoy me, because I have enough food to eat." Humans get used to things. Getting the perspective every so often is helpful, but otherwise, you just start feeling guilty about things that genuinely bother you. Better to have outlets as opposed to guilt."
Response by Person A: "Re-definition of a first world problem: being meta about defining first world problems."
(confession, I had to look up meta)
Ok, so I'll be honest, Person B annoys me. A) the status was supposed to be funny, get over yourself and 
arguing against being aware that first world problems are stupid, is basically trying to make yourself feel better in the face of acknowledging real problems like world hunger. Getting perspective is always helpful. Sure you can vent your problems and we can acknowledge them, but gaining perspective prevents you from being self-centered (and I mean that in the literal sense that you don't spend all your time only thinking about yourself, not in a flippant way). And sometimes it's helpful in moving past those problems - address them, but don't linger.
ETA: lol, maybe this was just a 'vent' because I don't want to respond about it on fb. Feel free to disagree with me though 
Re: Discuss:
On the topic of people complaining on FB (1st world problems and otherwise), I wish more people wouldn't complain so much. I understand needing to vent sometimes, but constant complaining just makes you look depressed.
And it is ridiculous to complain about FB changes. FB is free, if you don't like it, then leave.

I was hoping that you were going to tell me that I was wrong.
Person B is a moron.
OMG YES YES YES a billion times what you just said.
And it annoys the crap out of me when people use FB stupidly. I don't care that you just got coffee, or that you just sat at your desk, or that your whole world sucks... entertain me. Post something that entertains me or just quit posting. And if I am not FB friends with your husband or your kid then I probably don't care about what they are doing right now. Unless its funny. Again - entertain me. If you post about how crappy life is - you are likely looking for attention. But from my side - first you make me feel better about my life, no matter how crummy my day has been, and after my warm fuzzy moment you get hidden.
LOL I sound totally b!tchy.
I think TN has ruined me - I too only want to hear about your life if it will make me laugh!

That actually made me lol. Does she check in on the toilet too?
haha i don't think so. but she checks into her bed and says something about loving her husband. 1) TMI. 2) she's a spaz. 3) she'll probably change her relationship status to "divorced" again within the next month.

This. My mom and my Aunt are FB stalkers.
Same here, my aunt says she loves reading my fb because that's how she gets her updates about me. I'm ok with it though.
