Why does my friend post depressing posts on Facebook?

[Alexis]

One of the most greatest friends I have ever had since my childhood is posting sad posts on Facebook and it is getting really depressing and it's annoying me. All my other friends have noticed it too and asked each other "What's the point of doing it every 10 minutes? I get annoyed with those stuff." I mean, we're all there for her every time she needs us. Because that's what friends are for right? But why post things such as "Feeling upset right now.", "Fake friends *sigh* I feel unwanted" or "Why do I feel people are using me? Grr I'm feeling betrayed." Like I hate those indirect statuses when you don't know if she's speaking about you and you feel paranoid whether or not she is or she isn't. Gosh, what do I do?

How do you spell attention whore?

[Charly Trippy]

She's just looking for attention. If you try to help her and she keeps doing the same thing, that is definitely the case. Just ignore it. She'll get over it somehow.

She sounds depressed. She needs professional help.

You guys are judging her for her feeling bad.

She needs help and you guys are NOT helping her get better. ; (

It's easy to get stuck in negative thinking. It's a bad habit. If she drops negative words and thoughts and tries to find things she likes about people and life, she will feel differently, because its an interesting fact that feelings follow thoughts. If you change your thoughts, you change your feelings. Maybe she might listen if someone tells her or maybe not. It's worth a try. You have to work for everything good in life and you can earn happiness by striving after goals and practicing thankfulness. Happiness is sort of a habit too, and some of us need to develop it by thinking more positively. You know, counting your blessings and things like that.

Her friends probably aren't any worse than most friends. If they are worse get new ones, but you just can't expect too much from people. Maybe she is leaning too much on them emotionally. We tend to lean on parents, then friends and then partners and never learn to stand on our own. Maybe she could look up emotional intelligence so she will be emotionally strong as that is the best kind of 'strong'.

Your friend might have been upset due to relation break up. If we share our sorrows to as many people then it will be a great relief, keeping things in heart may not give satisfaction, he/she might have many problems so as they share many solution can be given to them so that he/she could survive a good life. Living with sorrows in heart is not good. I don't think he /she was wrong in doing so.
