Bragging on Facebook

[shaylyn]

Okay, this is all in fun (inspired by the thread about the kid who got the letter signed by the president)

What's the funniest Facebook brag you have ever read?

Mine is from my sister. In her "Info" section she writes:

I'm happily married to a great man we have 4 beautiful, smart talented children. We have the big house, the boat, the nice cars, the rv, good friends life is goooood. : )

<- that was me when I read this on her profile.....

We have a friend who always ends his posts with "life is good." He talks about his morning walks with his gorgeous wife, their season sports tickets, the 2-week cruise they're taking, their new ski cabin, etc. Funny thing is, most people don't know he cheated on his wife and had one foot out the door just about a year ago. He secretly rented an apartment and was ready to move when his wife found out and he had a change of heart. They went to counseling and seem to have put their marriage back together, but now he's pouring money into lavish trips and vacation homes. Instead of "life is good," you wonder if he really means to say "life is guilt!"

A relative in her information wrote that she was mother to 2 great kids and loved being a mom and spending time with her children was the most important thing in her life.

Thats great except that she gave-up custody to her mom and sees the kids very little. She is only a few miles away, but sees them for a few hours every month.

I think sometimes people post what they WANT to be, not what they are.

I'm always sort of curious about the public smooching some couples do. You know, posting things like "you're the best thing that every happened to me, I love you more each day, etc." and then sending it to every friend they have. Why not just walk down the hall and tell them? (I can see doing this on a big anniversary maybe, but why the need to publicly do this constantly?)

I'm a big believer in "fake it until you make it" at times, but the whole constant public stuff on facebook is weird.

I know one couple that does this and when DH told me they were having issues I was surprised because they are always so lovey dovey on FB (Examples - Oh baby I am so proud of you, you are the most amazing man ever / Hey that new pic of you is sexy). Lesson learned.

I have a few friends that are like that, it does make you wonder why you feel the need to share with hundreds of your closest friends when you can just say it in person.

This reminds me of a website called Tweeting too Hard. It's a collection of the most self-centered, self-absorbed, self-important Tweets on Twitter. It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

Facebook is like one continuous Christmas letter.

It def should be called "brag book" for some people. I've deleted or blocked the really annoying people.

I have a friend who posted her little daughter's art project picture and declared her a gifted artist. I mean she was in AWE of her child's incredible talent. I looked at it and it was cute and all....but really, sheesh!

Best analogy (whoa that word looks strange!) ever!

I think they are trying to convince themselves along with everyone else. Gak.

My ex posts stuff like "My children are my life, they are my world and I would die for them!" once every few weeks. Then his "friends" start replying about how great a dad he is. Whatever, he sees DS16 once every 2 weeks and spent a $40K settlement on toys without saving a cent to help DS get a car. I know I'm a great mom, so I don't need anyone to "like" or comment on that kind of statement on my FB page.

Many don't limit themselves to FB. We have many who brag right her on the DIS. Some are so obvious and others try to pretend they need your opinion but in reality they wanted to tell you they bought _______.

I have a friend who posts these kind of things to her husband and kids and I know she and her husband have a great marriage. But I find it kind of embarassing to read those kind of really personal statements on Facebook. She doesn't do it in person so I'm not sure why she needs to say things like that publicly on Facebook. It weirds me out and I find it makes me cringe.

Of course, I was just bragging on Facebook today that we went to see Super 8 this morning. I know all my friends will be jealous but I just had to share my glamourous life, you know?

I am continually amazed at the stuff people post on the Internet.

What about the people on the opposite end of the spectrum, who post things like "I'm having a hard day", or "why do these things always happen to me?" with the express purposeof garnering sympathy from their FB friends.

And then 4 people will comment asking what's wrong, saying they're praying for them, etc. etc. and it's the last you hear of it. The next post by them says that they're making english muffin pizzas for dinner and then giving the kids a bath.
