Personal problems turned Public Display on FACEBOOK? An empathy or sympathy?

A lot of girls just want to get attention. Anything that they can use to get attention will work, this is why girls are known to bring the drama. I always see these kind of posts on facebook, always from girls of course. I'm a girl, but I wouldn't post anything on my status about my boyfriend no matter what he did. I don't see why anyone would want/need sympathy from their facebook friends. Usually people don't even talk to most of their facebook friends, and I'm sure majority of them will not care about my relationship problems. So why fish for attention? Your friend should talk to the girl and let him know he doesn't like it when she posts their problems on facebook. If she loves him she would stop doing this.

I think that with people posting things about their relationship as a status on face book are just asking for trouble,as there are alot of people that are out there that are also on face book and some of those people like to start trouble up.I thing face book has caused soo many relationships to break up,but to post things on there is just asking for trouble.

Here on myLot, someone can talk about their personal problems and not give their name and where they live. People will assume it might be someone in their city and not where the person really lives, like some other place. But on Facebook, one joins because one is a friend of, an acquaintance of, or does not mind giving that person their private information. So this girl is either very revengeful (and wants someone to get rid of her boyfriend - your male friend permanently, or she is just plain stupid. Giving general problems - such as "--- does not know why her man leaves the toilet seat up" is all right, since most of us have that problem, but complaining that her boyfriend left her at ---- right after they were at ------ when she knows that someone who knew them saw her is not right. Of course, she may want sympathy and for her friends to say "oh he is such a brute!" The trouble is they only see her side of it and as the saying goes, "there are two sides to every picture." Oh please ecuse if I got some of the information wrong. I have a good imagination.

Hello. I've heard most of these stories everyday. I have some acquaintances who update their facebook regularly, updating their shoutouts and status all the time. It feels like they're broadcasting all the things they do every minute! However, the extend of your friend's girlfriend seems to be getting toward the extreme side of it. I understand that women are more expressive than men and they usually use the internet in blogging out their feelings. But for me, putting it on facebook for public viewing without a grain of anonymity is like taking off your clothes in front of all people. He might as well talk to his girlfriend about how it affects and make him uncomfortable. Her doing it will only put a heavy weight on their relationship and may be the end of their relationship.

whatever reasons the girl has for putting their private lives on Facebook, it's still all wrong. i wouldn't empathize or sympathize with her. it's bad enough that you're having personal problems, what more when it's out there for everybody to read.

It's actually being immature of a person to go out and press release everything as if he/she were in show business especially if the problem is personal. It's just her asking for sympathy i think. I guess it's best for you to also try to talk to the girl about it because it will just make things worse, unless she's betting into ending their relationship by having people convince her with their wrong judgments.

i just don't understand why people post their private problems in a Public site,like fbook,some think that they will be an instant celebrity?its like bringing the court cases in Public,its a no no,they must discuss their private problems privately..the girl is not getting a good score here,she creates a way to let the guy out of her...well that is my opinion...

I think she wants to get attention to herself. She doesn't mind posting her problems means that she does not respect her as well as her boyfriend's privacy much. Facebook being one of the most popular social networking websites in the world can soon provide to be a hindrance if your friend's girlfriend is posting everything there. She should learn to respect other people's privacy as well as her own privacy. because if she doesn't then someone soon is gonna use that against her.

Quite simple solution: tell him to delete his facebook account and don't give a hoot about what people say about him on the site. The girl will find a way to talk about her problems with others with or without facebook, he just find out because she post it on facebook. He needs to care more about the problems and how to resolve them rather than what people say about him regarding the problem.
