It's none of my business so stop making it mine / stop airing your dirty laundry

Guilty as charged. I used to vent like hell on Facebook. Some things are okay if you are looking to get input from someone else but I come across the same thing so I have taken people off of my newsfeed. It's hidden according to Facebook terms. They are still friends on there but I just don't have to look at their junk anymore. Sadly it is a huge portion of friends. No, you are not one of them. LOL

thats the big reason why I do not like facebook. i hated hearing all the junk everyday from an aunt of mine. She told to much information to everyone to see. Looks so bad. Happy new years dear...

Personally, this is part of the thing that annoys me with Facebook is some people never STOP to think about what they are posting there. They just post it, and hope for the best there. Never expecting any retaliation, etc. I am another one who will not just post anything there. If really needing to vent and say something I will post it here, as a lot of things I am going thru right now I don't want people I know to go throwing everything out of proportion.

Not dirty laundry, but there is somebody in my friends list that has been annoying me. She's discovered the show 'Chicago Fire' and I think she's fallen in love with the actor who plays Kelly Severide. She's been posting pictures and little facts of him regularly. I thought I'd give her one more day. If she still does it tomorrow, then she gets 'unfriend-ed'!

I am not a big fan of facebook; however, is a person is venting on their page, let them vent. To many times people are told to hold their anger in, and that anger must be expressed. Why should they hold their feelings in? We have all vented, and it's healthy to vent. If you don't tell people how you feel, then you could be setting yourself up for a heart attack or something worse. I would say if this person bothers you with their venting just unsubscribe from their page without deleting their friendship. You are allowed to do that on facebook. None of my friends complain about anything, though they probably have two or three facebook pages and vent on those ones and I wouldn't be able to see it anyways.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, some people are in this sort, they are using fb as a weapon to show their anger, but it is not a good thing. Luckily i don't have such kind of friends in my list, as well as i will keep distance from such kind of persons if i have them in my lot. There is nothing wrong in deleting such kind of persons, if you are not comfortable with them

On facebook my friends usually just post silly things or one line comments....but I find on other sites I have a friend who constantly complains about everything. She is so negative. When bad things happen to her I sometimes just want to say...maybe it's your attitude!

I believe I understand where you are at and I am sure the host Facebook is also aware of this. I think you may not be aware yet but Facebook already addressed this issue through the introduction of a new app called Facebook Poke which is already available for use. It is basically for people who wants to vent and at the end of the day like all spur of the moment acts leaves no trails or records that will trace back to the original poster. People do 'stupid' things when they get all wound up but I'd rather they do this than resort to create another 'Sandy Hook' (my bad - sorry).

SO how much are you annoyed and how much are you amused? If you enjoy it then leave them on. If this person really does annoy you then by all means delete them. This person is just looking to get a rise out of someone and it doesn't matter who. Feed it or nip it in the bud. I do have a person on my friend's list that bit*ches a blue streak and uses profanity. I sometimes will comment but usually I just let him vent and ignore him.

There will always be people doing things like that on face book and trying to bad mouth family, as well as friends, I do not think that will ever stop. I have also been tempted to reply to a few people as well, for all the things that they have said about a person, yet then next thing they are acting all buddy buddy to them.

That is what I do not like about Facebook as well. I have been to your situation and I was thinking of deleting this account that posts every single detail about their personal lives. I mean, yes it is their freedom. But I think they are making Facebook as their online diary or whatsoever. That is why i seldom check Facebook. I just checked my messages there. Happy new year!

Haven't met that sort of people but I think that person you mentioned need s a shrink or anyone willing enough to listen to his/her problems in real life. Anyway, I don't complain or vent on Facebook. Perosnally, it's too public for me even with the privacy settings. Also, I might offend someone on my network and might create another disaster. best keep it yourself or declare it under anonymity once and forget about it.

SomeCowgirl I hear your frustration and it further supports my opinion that I don't want to use facebook. I think certainly there are advantages, but from what I have seen and heard from others, ttere seem to be more problems than advantages. Of course it could be people complain far more than they praise facebook, but I am suspicious..plus I think it' a generational thing..my daughters both enjoy it...so I guess we all need to weigh ....are the headaches and cons worth the pros???

Oh right, there are many people like that who vent, even with very bad words which don’t look good to read. I think it also makes the person who did it look bad. Usuallu it will make you think that person is so negative and don’t want to go near them, usually if I can’t stand it anymore I just unfriend them on facebook. They who did it, don’t really think about consequences like what if their employeer look at their posts and what if their posts bring problems to them?

I know lots of people like that in other parts of my world. I would no way put anything like that on the internet, personally. You never know who will read it, or who will get mad at you over it. I would not read their facebook if they were like that. I try to not read the posts on here that are like that.

Never post a lot of personal things on Facebook because there are many people out there and everyone can Ipatiya hurt me. I think you should not post here. However, this site is just a fun. so just be careful and master the future. nice day! Happy new year!

I post as little as I can about my personal life on FB. I know there are plenty of ways for others to see things I put on there. When I need to vent I just come here, I feel its more private here than on Facebook. And usually after I vent here I am good to continue on with my life. Lol. This is one reason I don't like facebook, there is way too much drama on there for me!

In my own opinion, I do hate those people who post no sense at all in facebook. Frankly speaking, I am starting to clean up my list of friends. I can not stand the corny statement of some people in my fb account. There is no second thought of deleting them in my list.

I'm not very confident to open my self on this social page. I don't think that doing this you solve your problems.have a nice day, happy new year!

I agree with you but I also disagree with you. Whether we like it or not, what you are describing is exactly what being on Facebook is all about. Social media has taken the place of human to human interaction. It has become, in affect, a virtual diary for all thoughts and ideas that cross the human brain. It is both disturbing and fascinating. I can see how you are annoyed. There are things that people post on FaceBook that make my skin crawl. Personal issues don't bother me so much, though. If someone wants their their life to be a trackable, virtual, open-book more power to them, it's their life, they can complicate it if they wish. My advice is, rather than post any kind of comment and therefore visibly stoop to their level; hide their feed. This solves the issue of their "rants" appearing on your wall AND you won't have to worry about the whole "rant" they'll post if you were to "de-friend" them, because you didn't. I've done this to a couple of my "friends" on FaceBook because of their thoughtless political proganda and I am now much happier with my FaceBook feed.
