Why is it people feel the need to air out their dirty laundry on Facebook?

That is also my question: Why is it that some persons want to show their "dirty laundry" on Facebook? They should talk it privately with the concerned persons period.

THey do it for attention I think. I don't see it that much on my wall/profile but I do know of a couple on my friend's list that feel a need to use bad language and do not seem to care what they bring up on there. I do a personal message if I have personal business but many of them feel a need to put it in their status.

I guess they have nothing else to do! and they don't know about MyLOT! otherwise they would be posting something we all can share and comment on it!

I still don't understand why people do that. Maybe they think it's a good way to release their pent up emotions. Maybe they feel that a lot of people care about them when many of their friends add a comment to their post. Maybe they think that everyhin they posted will soon be part of history. No matter what they think, I won't do it. I don't think the whole world needs to know or should know my problem. I would rather send a private message to a friend in facebook than post it for the whole world to see.

Perhaps, they wanted to share the moments doing laundry errands. For me, I don't need to blurt it out in social network like facebook.

i have noticed this aswell i thought it was a social networking site where you can chat with friends but i think a lot of it is attention seeker but if i got angry with something like that i would do the same as jugsjugs name and shame

People are angry and like to curse. Facebook is just another place they can do it in.

Those people are so annoying and they give the social network a bad name . They are the one doing it and then they regret it so silly , they could have type it in a offline notepad if they just want to type . Those people are attention seeks and waste of time .

The internet gives people the feeling of anonymity. And there is nothing that people like better to do than complain and vent, even though it's not good for them.

I think its just they're using the medium or the site to ventilate their feelings. since We're always free to do anything we want on the site. We should let go at that as along as it's not that offensive to those who'll be able to read it.

Hi roarkwifey! We should always remember that we may have the privilege or the right to speech, but it should also come with a great responsibility. Personally, I observe those things with my friends who are with facebook every now and then. Sometimes, they even quarrel and post it on that site where everyone can see. They exchange insulting words on the wall. How I wish they would realize the effect of these actions.

Thre are some people who like posting their lives on Facebook. I know one guy I went to school iwht, who posts all this stuff on Facebook, and I just unsubsribed to his pages. I guess its a way to vent, and get attention.

Maybe because they want the attention? And some people think that by doing so, people will have this impression that he or she is one kick-a$$ person that's a toughie and cool. Then when they realized their mistake it's too late.

I know, I don't get it either but I think it's mainly for attention. Another annoying thing is people always bragging about things or posting inappropriate pictures!

I feel that there will always be people out there that are like that, however I will say I did feel better when I copied and pasted a discussion that my so called friend and my husband had and then tagged them both in it, named and shamed I would call that. They always say that the wife is the last one to find out, so I made sure that her husband and his family didnt feel left out as they are also on face book, can not think why she blocked me and as for him, he knows he has messed our 16 years worth of marriage up.

I wish I knew. Every time my sister & I argue she feels the need to include all of our friends in our fight on Facebook by making snide comments & mentioning what the fight was about etc. etc. Then when we make up a few days later, just before she adds me back onto her Facebook for the hundredth time she makes sure to delete it all so that I wont see it. Of course I hear about anyway from one of our friends. So like I said, I wish I knew....LOL
