You'd understand if you had any IRL friends.

The worst is people posting cryptic things like "prayer needed" to just have the comments be "OMG whats wrong".

For what it is worth I have only known about some deaths from Facebook for high school friends and others that I hadn't talked to in a long time.

Why do you care what someone else does that has zero impact on your miserable existence

"everyone please pray for xxxx" without any indication of what is going on.

Yes, I cannot stand these attention whoring posts.

the epitome of "Dear Facebook"

You're a judgy poon and this thread sucks.

Yep. Saw this first hand recently when a friend passed from cancer. All these people came
From the woodworks with go fundmes and shite. I’m wondering where all of these people were for the 5 years my podnah battled cancer because they certainly weren’t around when I was around.

Why do you care what other people do?



This person appears to have lost some people. In how they have responded to the situation, does it really inconvenience you?

I don’t understand why people do it but people grieve in different ways. I’m not going to judge them on that.

People grieve in their own way. Don’t be a douche.

Yea I think pretending you're fine in order to not make anyone uncomfortable is much better. Even better, just pretend it never happened. Don't get me started on the bullshite "depression". Millenials.
