Irritating happy facebook people

Post Reply New Topic

Some of the people I know are just so insipid and twee.

Look at my happy thing. Others write spewing candy floss blah.

I want to write on their wall: "I think I'm going to throw up."

That is all. I just wanted to complain because I'll get shot down in a fire of flames if I actually write on their wall. I think I'm going to hide these people, so I cant' see the crap they write.

So much social interaction feels filled with fluff. Maybe some people are actually happy. I don't know, but I feel like I'm not allowed to talk about how I really feel about everything because I'm too negative.

I feel so trapped and lonely.

facebook is full of fake people for all you know they are just faking being happy

Yeah, don't get me started on that.
Realistically, I think most people prefer to post positive things on facebook. I like it just to check on people, see that they're still alive, etc. Also, it can be used to communicate with people whose email/phone # is unknown to you.
But yes, the relentless positivity can be very oppressive. When life sucks, facebook will inform you that not only are other people having fun, but they are also not inviting you to parties...

I get fed up of that happy-go-lucky crap as well. It can be fun (if they *do* talk to you) to make up negative crap as if you're about to completely lose it, and see how they react.

Reality sux.
Aspies have too much reality.
Reality is hard to change.
Reality is easy to ignore. (apparently)

Non-happy happy joy joy stuff is probably reality.
No wonder those who can, will chose to ignore it as much as possible and socially punish/avoid those who break their 'suspension of disbelief.'

It's probably a bit like saying in a movie theater, "That could never happen!"
Eventually people are gonna want us to shut the hell up.

no no no
I do not use facebook
often.
people ignore me
because
they do not understand
my posts.
or

I am not always
positive.
not if its about
something
I hate.

yes im sick of this s**t. Im sick of all their fake stupid god damn crap. I am a real person, with problems, and if i post something real, they tell me to be positive. oh so like that is actually going to contribute to humanity. they post s**t about not being negative and everything is up to you an d you are to blame if you are sad. they seem to be into new age horse s**t and think that autism is caused by vaccines and cheese. AGH I hate these c*nts. they make my life feel like a misery every time i have to come in contact with them, i no longer use facebook.
Sorry for the rant, im just so angry and these types of people do nothing to help anyone and are just oppressive bullies on some kind of abusive psycho trip

Sounds like you guys are just bitter because people are living their lives and are happy about it. Why should they post things on Facebook when they are feeling down? They probably have people to talk to about such things and don't want everyone and their mother to know about their troubles online.

If you guys are so unhappy with your lives, do something about it. Autism is tough, yes, but does it mean you have to be bitter towards people who are doing better? Not really... that's just petty.

That is I guess why I am not on facebook. I would probably lose it and actual write 'I want to throw up' on their wall. You can sometimes get away with it on a forum depending on the context, but on facebook you'd be attacked like from a swarm of bees and cast out of the community to shiver and gnash your teeth in the void.

Facebook gets on my nerves too, but I don't want to come off it because I have some descent people on there too, and also I like to keep up with local gossip.

I don't want to just block the people who annoy me, because some of them I work with, and people usually think there is something wrong when you suddenly block them from Facebook. I don't want resentment at work just because I feel socially isolated when seeing what they put.

I find older people are more down to Earth on Facebook than what youngsters are. All youngsters post are pictures of themselves dressed up at some bar, and it's mostly girls what do this more so than boys. It's like they just want to boast. Also when they write things about what they're doing with their friends or boyfriends, and I don't know why but I can always sense they are boasting. When an older woman puts what she's doing with a partner, I don't feel so annoyed because I feel like it's not so much a boast, but just that they want to put what they've done that day. I'm more interested in reading things like ''went out with my husband today, had a lovely lunch, then to the DIY store to buy us some plants for the garden'', and the replies are like, ''that's nice, what sort of plants did you buy?'' or, ''where did you go today?'' or, ''what did you have to eat? Something nice?'' What I hate to hear on Facebook is, ''had a fab time out last nite at [slang name for town containing fun bar place] - with Hannah, Dani, Sophie, Lizzie and Molly'', and the comments are like, ''yh lol was so funny when Sophie got so pissed she fell over!! !'' and then they start calling each other ''b***h'' but in a banter way. God that really annoys me!! !

I have it set so that about 85% of my friends' crap doesn't show up in my news feed. This works great because you can remain friends with the person without them knowing that you're completely ignoring their vapid nonsense. Anyone who posts political propaganda - block. Anyone who incessantly posts pictures of their children - block. Anyone who continually posts sports updates and nothing else - block.

I don't block my sisters, because I am usually interested in what they post, but occasionally some of their more annoying posts will get through. For example one of my sisters is married and her and her husband will write this long flowery love letter crap on each others' walls. And then everyone chimes in with "Aww, you two are so lucky to have found each other." It's made even more annoying because you know it's all just to show off to other people how wonderful they are together, because they live in the same freaking house and could easily say these things to the other person's face, without broadcasting to the rest of the world.

I too wish I could post more of my negative thoughts without facing backlash. However, one of my sisters has that annoying habit of posting esoteric depressing comments where everyone responds with "OMG what's wrong?!" "What happened???" And usually it turns out to just be song lyrics.

I would say, clean up your news feed and you will not have to bother with the annoying people.

agreed. U can hide the stuff you don't like.

Also there are apps you can use

this one is for people whose friends post tons of baby photos. The app replaces the baby pictures with pictures of kittens.

Yep. I started by hiding more and more of the insipid posts. I ultimately found myself getting posts from about 2 people. Then I just gave up and and deleted my Facebook account. I wish I had done it much sooner.

A lot of my negative posts are typically ignored by my family and friends, and my happier ones get more attention.

I know this isn't really surprising, but sometimes I just wish people weren't so damn happy all the time... And this is even more annoying when someone tells me to "cheer up" when I feel like absolute crap...
