FB and drama, poll
How many friends do you have?
How often is there drama?
I have 181 friends so far and there is 0 drama. Not even dumb or offensive things posted.
Re: FB and drama, poll
i have 560ish friends and no drama. I just delete the childish people as they come up!
How many people, I wonder, are still fb friends with XH/STBXH?
I have 325 friends, there is not a lot of drama mostly vents like "screw the person who just cut me off". I also have one friend who is hilarious because she must have tons on drama on her feed and in turns posts something that makes those people sound quite foolish. Such as "if you have a track record of failing relationships, you are not in a position to give out relationship advice. Try using what you preech".
Somewhere in the vicinity of 900 friends. I was just starting college when FB came out, and it was the big thing for several years to "friend" anyone and everyone you ever met. Now, there are too many of them for me to be bothered to go through it and delete people.
My cousin has had all sorts of drama with his baby mama lately, so I ignore his updates. I blocked status updates from my other cousin's wife for a while because I didn't need to know how many cm dialated she was. And I permanently hid status updates of a friend of a friend because they were all attention-seeking, woe-is-me posts. That's about it, though. Not a bad percentage of drama-free people.
I only have 41 friends and they're all people I know upclose and personal. No drama because of that.
This is me, I have a lot of people I scroll by.
I have a good friend who is kind of dramatic. She posts a lot of those "inspirational" posts that are really passive aggressive jabs at people. Like if she has a fight with a friend she will post one that says something about true friends loving you for who you are.
I also have a friend who is so sweet in person, but obnoxious on FB. On FB she is a know it all. Whatever she says/believes is true and anyone who disagrees is an idiot. She has even said people should do what she does because she is proof it works! I block her posts, but sometimes when I am bored, I cruise over to see what drama she has started. The weird thing is, she is not like that in person at all.
Sometimes, the FB drama entertains me. I am always amazed at what people are willing to put online under their own name.
I have about 150 friends on FB. About 1/3 are family or STBXHs family. The other 2/3 are my friends mostly from the Renaissance Festival.
I really don't see much drama... One friend said that a couple friend of ours announcing their split and they just ask for support at this time (it was all done very civil, just saying that they aren't ready to talk about it, just wanted to let everyone know as he was moving in the next few weeks). was drama. I disagreed because of how it was handled. No name calling accusations or anything. My post about my divorce was more drama-esque than theirs.
I have 102 friends, I know everyone in person besides Nesties.
i don't see any drama except some girl I know from elementary school who is posting every 3 weeks about "I'm done with men! why do I always end up with guys who treat me bad blah blah blah" and then a week later its "Oh I love my man so much" and then "My divorce is almost final yay"
