Success after IF

Seriously, I just need to get off of facebook...

I cannot believe how nasty people can be on there...people who are supposed to be your friends. I swear, I've been to anonymous message boards that are nicer. I really think I'm just going to have to start avoiding facebook.

Re: Seriously, I just need to get off of facebook...

  • Sometimes I don't even know why I go on Facebook because half of the time I end up logging off with anxiety.   

    Some of the stuff people post bother me for days/months/YEARS (ie some that come to mind are pictures of beaten animals in a shelter, sports injuries (like, bone sticking out of leg WTF), pictures of sick babies and/or still born babies).  

    I have actually hidden and unfriended quite a few people because the things they posted bothered me so much.  

    I haven't seen much nastiness per say, but the disturbing pictures really get to me.

  • See, I have friends who seemingly use facebook as their own personal soapbox. Perhaps because a lot of them are lawyers. 

    I once reposted some "Momastery" blog post that I thought was really good about a letter a Mom had written to her son about bullying.  I thought it was a really, really good commentary on bullying and that was the only reason I posted it...because I actually try to avoid most *hot* topics. At any rate, it had like a couple of lines about her supporting her son if he was gay.  This one guy went off on me on my facebook profile saying I was going to hell, etc.  Full-blown rant.

    Last week someone posted something about IF and I tried (innocently) to respectfully educate them and shared my story.  I thought I was doing something good. Instead, I got remarks about what I was doing was not what God intended and so on.  I mean, come on. You have to know that is offensive when I've just shared with you my son was conceived via ART.

    I don't even want to get into what happened to me today, but I think I'm just officially going to get off facebook because I truly experienced probably the closest thing I have ever experienced in my life to cyber bullying. 

    Even as I write this, it all seems so absurd that this would even bother me...it is facebook!  There are real problems in the world!  Yet, it does.  Which is why I think I'm going MIA from it for awhile.

    I have mixed feelings about FB. I like that its easy to stay in touch with my cousins who live a few hours way. I like staying in contact with my former co workers and I like that its easy to find groups and other information. I don't like that I can't keep my mil from reposting pictures of A. I don't know everyone of her FB friends and I don't want her picture being spread around....grrrr! I really don't like the drama. People are entitled to their opinion, but some people take it WAY too far. I clean up my friend list every so often and I delete people how post too much nonsense or if they get fanatical about anything.

    I'm sorry about whatever happened to you today. It's a shame that common decency goes out the window with social media.

  • What happened to me today was more along the lines of cyber bullying then just having opinions I don't agree with.  But I just deleted the offender and I'm staying off of facebook for awhile.

  • Ugh, I'm so sorry. I hope this wasn't a person you encounter regularly.

    Delete, delete, delete.
