People complaining about privacy?

[foodlover]

This is towards both males and females since I've seen both do this. Now, we have the creation of social network sites and people post ANYTHING on there that tickles their fancy or will post something that is bothering them. But, than people will complain about not having privacy or hate that people get in their business when they outright post things on social networks that gives the attention of them being bothered by something or someone. I mean, everyone wants privacy and doesn't like people in their business, but if you don't like people in your business, why post something vague about it and such?

Like facebook, people will post something in their status that is either vague or seem to bother them, but when someone asks what is wrong and such, they say it is nothing or that everything ok. Some will complain about being in their business, some will say everything is fine now, but why post it anyways if you are just going to moan about people being annoying or nosy? Same thing with sites like twitter, tumblr, myspace (if anyone uses that still), etc. What is your opinion?
@Lilly: Acquaintances I can understand since you don't know the person well. But, if you don't know someone well, than why add them in the first place since what you post is personal? And also, can't disagree about facebook being a blog, because it is. But, if you are going to get aggravated about people wondering what is wrong, than maybe you should think about what you post. Everyone has friends who respect their boundaries, but sometimes friends will NEVER speak about what is wrong with them upfront in public to friends, but will post it on social networks. Wouldn't you feel like you are seeing 2 different people online and offline?
@Lilly: You do bring up good points, not trying to attack you by the way.

Based on your 2nd paragraph, people are stupid for post something on their status that something is bothering. Then they get pissed off because a friend tries to help them? What's the point of posting the status anyway?
That's why I don't post my Facebook status as something bothering me. I just post happy things or when I'm happy because then it's retarded if I act like that and I become such a dumb hypocrite.

People these days, they don't understand anything anymore.

I think those sites are a waste of time.
People should see their friends and close ones in reality, talk to each other instead of communicating through texts and computer images.

Facebook? Twitter? why be so shallow as to use these useless media tools and then complain when they get the attention that they have invited in? There are a lot of sad little vain half wits out there aren't there?

They post it because to a point, facebook is a bit like a blog. It helps them vent their feelings in that moment. Most of the time when people ask whats wrong, they dont ask until later, the situation has been resolved or you arent focusing on it, so never mind, its all good now, Im not as upset over it anymore, so why waste time going over all the details with an aquantiance on fb?

For the people who get aggrivated by people asking.. well, quite frankly, I would have posted the entire situation if I wanted you to come asking. I just wanted to vent my feelings.

I mean, do you never do that in real life? Do you never act aggrivated, but dont want to talk about it so when people ask you say nothings wrong?



I also think facebook creates boundary issues. THere is no separation between your best friend for life, your family, and aquantainces. A post that could be ok for a close friend to ask more details about might not be ok for an aquantaince to ask about. If it were in real life, most people would know and respect this. But on fb, people forget that.
