13484952, Partner shaming on social media
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon May-22-23 12:59 PM
why do people do this unless the plan is to get them to break up with you?

Do they think their SO will hop online and see their partner shaming them and say “I have to be a better partner”

just watched a woman take shots at her dude for 3 weeks with memes and “another lonely saturday” post and now she updates with “So you dumped me because I had a few bad weeks”

Nothing wrong with venting but venting publicly for all to see? Not a good idea


They need to hit up these Confession Wednesday’s

13484953, this why you cant date a social media addict

13484954, I want to tell folks to chill on FB
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon May-22-23 01:28 PM
but it aint my business

Need an app that ask you 3 questions before it lets you send a new post

Is this going to help or hurt your relationship?
Have you tried talking to your SO first?
Will this make other people think twice about dating you?
Is this really what went down?
13484955, just saw an IG video of this popular travel vlogger breaking up

social media has brought about some wild ass behaviors in ppl. online platforms arent great for everyone
13484960, I’m mad at my SO. Let me tell the whole world they aint shit
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon May-22-23 03:52 PM
hoping in some weird way it will fix the relationship

As soon as the SO sees that shit its over.

Its like calling the cops on your partner. Aint no coming back from that.
13484987, I remember posting some lyrics once in the Myspace days

Had to walk that back hard lol
13484998, these days its mandatory to ask someone how they navigate on SM
Posted by mikediggz, Tue May-23-23 05:33 PM
as a dating question...if the answer doesnt jive with how you move then dont do it. like BK said i wouldnt date a SM junkie no way no how. you could be dimed out and paid and id still pass...SM is a relationship killer in many cases.

if you a young cat and you were born into SM then i get it its part of your life like that but anyone who knows different? smh. hail naw no thx
13485040, Yo, I never really thought about that, but you right.

13485056, real talk...do spend hours and hours a day on the edge of your seat
Posted by mikediggz, Wed May-24-23 12:53 PM
analyzing FB posts? do you find it necessary to post about every decision that you make throughout the day? do you air out your friends, fam, and SO on the book when you get angry? do you respect if your SO wants no parts of SM or your shenanigans? answer any of these wrong and God bless you have a great life
13485090, airing out friends and fam is the worst!!

“I always help people out but when I need help no one is there for me!!!”

lawd.. smh.
13484958, adults actually do that?
Posted by ThaTruth, Mon May-22-23 03:17 PM
most people I know are either super fake mushy on social media or not "friends" on social media or one is not even on social media
13484984, I've come to learn that some ppl really don't mind mess/dysfunction.
Posted by spades, Tue May-23-23 11:26 AM
They honestly don't even see it.

That's why I try to steer clear.
13484996, when things are calm they get uncomfortable
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue May-23-23 04:05 PM
13485133, Yup.
Posted by spades, Thu May-25-23 11:35 AM
Literally had a girl I was messing with admit she started a fight with me, because I seem uninvested.

*blink* *blink*

And you thought this would cause GREATER investment?

smh

Some people....
13484985, I think folks who IG Live stream are mostly weirdos
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue May-23-23 12:09 PM
I have a few friends who either stream live or make little videos while driving their car and talking about the topic of the day...and I am always why like you think anyone is interested enough in what you have to say to watch this?

These are usually the same people who talk to much in real life. Just seems like pure narcissism to me.

I'm off topic, I usually assume those videos I see online are fake.

social media just enables folks like this to broadcast to a wider net and get more attention. doesn't matter if it's positive or negative, as long as someone is looking or listening they are sated
13484995, I’ll never forget a car doing 15mph on the highway
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue May-23-23 04:02 PM
she was face timing someone while driving

for me anyone doing a live in a car is full of shit.
13484997, I hate it passionately.

13485001, IG live is for total narcissists
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue May-23-23 06:21 PM
13485096, I think IG "reaction videos" are even more narcissistic
Posted by flipnile, Wed May-24-23 05:02 PM
Mofos really just green-screening their face over videos. Making themselves the subject.

Like the video version of this meme: https://preview.redd.it/1hnmvv04ux631.png?auto=webp&s=d6fac3a320a9c675b1b9a2a97904d582ba8b72d6

Except all-genders do this shit.
13485139, why is your face.. “all in the video”

They want/need/crave validation, maybe?

I've seen it with people in different stages in their lives so I don't even think its just a 'these folks out here now' type of thing.

I personally couldn't see getting down like that cuz I'm just old enough that I grew up without having to publicly document every damn thing I do/think/say/want. And I'm doing fine if not everyone is aware of how seriously I lust after Anitta, Regina Hall, or whoever.

But hey, maybe they're not thinking it through all the way. Most grown ass folks I know would be not into that type of stuff at all.

I don't even love my wife posting pics of me while we're on vacation/out somewhere (cuz I don't love people knowing exactly where I'm at ever..I'm square enough as it is so I'm usually at home or work..that's enough!), and she pretty much knows trying to slide some Jayz sneak diss shit at me online isn't gonna be a good look. And I'm going to react in-person. Or as the kids were saying, I'm going to pull up on her directly on some ole say it with ya chest shit. And I adore that lady.
