Facebook is the devil

Adopt me please !
What's wrong with being happy? I love my life - I share it with good friends & family on FB and they seem genuinely happy for me. (vice versa)

Sometimes, we share life happenings such as the death of my sister or mom and then FB becomes a vehicle for information to people about such happenings - and has also been a way for me to reach out and receive some comfort during those times.

Overall, though - we be some happy peeps on my FB page & I love hearing about it all!!
Many people are happy, but they don't use all caps and a zillion exclamation points almost daily to describe their life :whistle:

If I am not genuinely happy with my friends' happiness, I ought not be friends with them & I would hope my happiness isn't subjected to some kind of happiness litmus test.

I doubt that I am excessively happy on FB.....just hilariously funny.

I think I am only guilty of excessive use of periods.....

F'real.

What I DON'T!!! want to hear is someone's bull#### drama. "My horrible boyfriend did thus and such! :cds:" "Well, FORMER! BFF, you suck for doing...well, YOU know what you did! :jameo:"

:rolleyes:

And I especially don't want to see those attention whore e-card things with cryptic messages obviously meant for someone. If you hate that person so bad, why in the hell are you FB friends with them??? And if you're not FB friends with them, why are you posting messages to them?

Those are the people I either unfriend or delete from my feed, not the happy people.

My biggest peeve are the Debbie Downers for whom every day is a FML. They have a migraine, or they hate their job, or they can't sleep at night, or whatever else it is they find to bitch about. Those wretches get gone or hidden fast.

But what if I really am that happy...:confused: What if I do like my life and what if I am satisfied with where I'm at and what I do and how things have turned out and do embrace being content...:shrug:

BTW... The VAST majority of folks I've befriended on facebook are just as content. So it's the norm for us.
It's not being happy that's the problem. It's the fake happy. The constant telling you just how great their life is. It's like they are so insecure about their life that they try to convince you how great their life really is.

Example: today my SIL posted this "..... It is all about your attitude. Take it from me - ones attitude about their 'situation' has a huge impact on the way they live their life."

She posts stuff like this about how faith and love have helped her and made her stronger in the face of adversity. :blahblah:

But very few know that her attitude is why her kids are begging to go live with their grandparents and her husband is dumping her.
