Why do people put very personal things like relationship problems on Facebook??

probably because they want attention, has no one to talk to, hungry for popularity, seeking for the sympathy of others, a way to take revenge... there are so many reasons behind it. When personal things are put in public, often small things get bigger and more people are involved. I don't do this thing coz I care for my privacy.

for me.. my ex who added her classmate then i found out they are flirting each other so we broke up,, thanks to facebook

I dont know why people do this but i think keep your perosnall relationships to yourself and its your life you dont need everyone involved in your life in the first place and just keep it to yourself at the end of your day. Posting your life on facebook is crazy and silly and your showing your life to the world almost im glad i have a facebook account but i rarely ever post anything on it because i see others posting and i just dont need to see the point of posting that much at all.

I do believe that most of this people are really depressed and do not have any person that they can count on in terms of their problems. These are people who are usually emotionally unfit in facing life's problems. However, some are just that expressive enough that they want the world to know that they exist and achieving such would be posting those kind of things.

Thats a good reason why I dont have a facebook acct. To much info. is posted there for everyone to see.

peopke put their relationship problems on facebook, i think because they find it easy to express on facebook and they want to find people who can relate with their problems and feel like they are not alone.. and probably someone might comfort them.. :)

I think some people wants to share their feelings in facebook to others. I think it is not good to put lots of personal things in Facebook. I think now a days lots of people use Facebook.

Yes i have seen things like this on Facebook, but u don't post things like this on there. My husband and i separated for 3 months back in 2008 and i was on Facebook but didn't post a thing about it to anyone. What i did is talk to people close to me like my brother in law and a really close friend in private chat about it but that was all. I think some of the people that do this are depressed i agree with who said that, but mostly people just do things on Facebook like that for attention. I would never post something like on Facebook because it is sucha private matter and the whole world doesn't need to know. Plus it makes you look kind of mean and or foolish when you do things like that and why would someone tell everyone on Facebook that they cheated and why.

I will never understand why some people feel the need to make personal information public. I think that it is best to keep private matters private. I think people who do post relationship problems and such fail to realize how ignorant they come across to other people.

Ugh. Some people just don't know their manners. They are cheap and trashy, jut it's more obvious on facebook. They can't distinguish between stuff that is pivate matter and stuff that could be posted to Facebook. I don't wanna read about ppl fighting pettily and calling each other bad names after a break-up, someone having seriously awful diarrhoea or how drunk somebody is. It's just not elegant, people. What I hate the most... well, I have some ex-classmates and their friends (whom I know as well), who are really crazy about football/soccer/whatever your dialect calls it... but they don't root for the same clubs and teams... you just can't imagine how filthily and dirtily they talk to each other, their own friends!!!, after a match, when it was between their fave teams... they call each other d.cks, b.st.rds, .ssholes and tell each other to s.ck their c.cks and to f.ck off... and they are supposed to be friends... and when I see such filthy language a page long on my wall... that's just sad for me.

Some people are too emotional that they can no longer think of what is desirable and good because of the reason that they are overflowed with their emotions. They forget , Facebook is a public place therefore must protect themselves , they must not display their emotions there for no one buys an emotions and absolutely , it has no market. Why not stay in private forum , express there , start a rage , fight until to the last drop of your sweat. See , nothing happens after a heavy fight , like nothing happened, integrity still in the highest level.

Personal problems may be easier to talk about when you are a bit more anonymous. Things that can be difficult to talk about, can very often be easy and even a relief to write about. It's easier to open up over the internet.

well i feel that all those people need sympathy..its a human nature that if you get hurt or you feel down hurt or not feeling well you want to tell your problem to everyone so that you get some sympathy from other people..its all my opinion thanks
