Incredible how you can tell people apart based on their facebook posts. You can really separate Americans from other folks. Not necessarily in a bad way, but such a huge difference. Not that I have so many of them, but a few, and while they don't really know each other you can see the similarity. I didn't see such from people in other countries. It's really weird how so many of them have the need to post literally everything on FB. From their opinions on anything out there (experts?), to their lifestyle, choices and even family issues. So many emotions being thrown on such a horrible place like a social network. Why? You can hardly get a response like you get here on the forums where it's focus on certain objectives and topics, and over there you have plenty of people who know you, and even plenty of those who don't know anything about you, yet you wanna share every piece of your depressing life, anxiety, problems, issues, wounds etc. Jesus Christ. Not only they look pathetic, but they aren't helping themselves while they desperately need it, and they need somebody to hear them AND help them. For instance, now I have some girl who can't sleep and she keeps posting how she can't sleep for 10, 12, 15 hours. Then for 17, 19, 22. She's not even young. She's older than I am. But why the fuck do you have the need to post that? 10 posts of you not being able to sleep? Do they really need such attention and pity so they can hear: hold on tight, it's going to be better, don't worry it happens, life is tough... Just... seriously? Text your friend if anything. Don't share that stuff with the whole world, we don't really give a fuck about your tiny problems which you present like it's the biggest thing out there. Now she's posting how people are calling her mom and asking about her, so she's pissed, then she stressed out how she doesn't feel like a part of her family, A BLACK SHEEP she says. I know I don't sound any better right now, but I gotta share how fucking horrible that is, so I advice that you shouldn't be a moron who does the same. It's like they don't have people in real life to talk to, but they obviously do, so they pick FB instead. Others post every move from their newborn, every step they make and fart that comes out of them followed by short stories that each day happen, trying to be funny. And oh God those pictures... so many pictures...

    1) We are a nation of consumers and social media has given us the thought that we matter, when we don't, especially as individuals.

    2) I'm American and we are FB friends, how often do I post? I like being an outlier in the sea of data. The odd datum!

    You should unfriend or unfollow those people. You have a choice in the matter.

    Thanks. I guess. Sometimes I don't even love myself so it's good to know. There are way too many things that irritate me, it's a good thing that I don't have much time nowadays, otherwise I'd be #1 hater here with 200k posts Cronios-like.

    As for your #1, I think that makes sense. Generally that goes for a whole bunch of people, not just Americans. It's really a scary thing how everyone presents themselves in a positive way on Facebook. Everything is happy, peaceful, good food, happy thoughts (bar depressed folks). But that's just not real life. It's also a huge trouble how people buy that shit, especially girls, who will pick they future boyfriend based on his posts on facebook and instagram. It's like a positive life (from their view) made short, but with erased negative stuff that happens in everyones life. Seems so... man, I have a feeling that average thought (not IQ, no) of people on this planet has gone down to shit. Education of this form is not helping either. I think we're facing serious problems while people focus on lesser issues.

    As for your #2, yeah, I know what you mean. But my post surely didn't address it for 100% of Americans. It's just plenty of folks. Hell, even if it's 50% it's disgusting and a huge problem (at least for them).

    You should unfriend or unfollow those people. You have a choice in the matter.
    I know. But that doesn't help. You need bad shit in your life. It makes you appreciate good things better and more often. When you see how fucked up someone is, you can pat yourself on shoulder and say: oh boy, you're fine. Also, closing courtains doesn't really solve anything.
