it’s frustrating. i’m not looking for everyone’s opinion or approval but it doesn’t appear FB allows this to be done privately. When i make the change, FB sends a post announcing this and everyone feels obligated to make a comment or wants to chime in about your photo selection!
sorry, i guess i’ve got nothing else to gripe about this morning

You have a good life if that's your problem.

You can change the audience to "only me" and they won't see it.

Why the frick do you have a FB profile you don’t want people paying attention to?

Because Facebook is literally centered around getting attention and is the whole point of the platform.

Facebook is designed to create engagement exactly like this. They dont want you to be private and operate privately, its optimized for maximum engagement.

This is exactly why I dont do social media like Facebook, because I have no interest in that type of thing and I dont want to engage with strangers profiles.

Facebook Marketplace is great. That's about it.

There’s an option you can click it to where it doesn’t show on the feed. That’s what I did last time.
