Sharing Is Not Caring

I believe that there are 3 different types of people who use Facebook.

1). The “I barely use that thing and I only have new updates because people tag me in them” person
2). The “I found something funny and you might like this” person
3). The “This is every single thing that is going on in my life right now” person

Sometimes, I think we forget that what we say on Facebook is pretty much there forever unless we take it off or tell Google to get rid of it.  I know it’s supposed to be a fun and entertaining medium, but I hope the things that I make public don’t come back to haunt me.  I think it’s just the misspellings and the lack of effort to proofread before posting or asking, “Is this really worth posting?” really bugs me.  Below is my version of a timeline (or reverse timeline if you want to get technical) of an average day for person number 3.

I know I bash on these people because they clutter my newsfeed, but honestly, my newsfeed would probably be empty if it wasn’t because of these people.  So you keep posting, person 3.  I’m bored and I need something to look at…

Thanks for reading.
