I have recently
read a blog by a blogger who incidentally I know in person too. Now, he says
that people uses "Facebook as a tissue". I strongly disagree. I left
a comment correcting him and he says it’s a rant. If it’s a rant then, why the
hell does he then contradict his self?
He starts off by
putting his point across, but he then goes onto say:
“… People to finally publish their personal, obnoxious and frankly hatefully
pitiful diaries…”
In other words, he is calling people
complete idiots, now that is one way of being, shall I say, bitchy? It’s really
unfair on all levels, no matter how you see it. I see it as another way of
getting at someone but instead of using Facebook, he is writing a blog post
about them. Oh, and don’t worry, it gets worse:
“… There is only ONE reason why people post their personal social
situations on Facebook, and that’s to get attention…”
At this point I started laughing, I really
did. If he thinks that then he has no idea what depression is. If he really
knew what it was then he would know all the vital information on depression,
why people say that and why they put stuff like that. To clear things up,
people who are going through depression put depressive status’s up on Facebook
because they want to get that emotion, anger or their mood across to their
friends. If they then get comments to tell them to shut up, then it’s the so
called “friends” who are in the wrong. Another bit I laughed at, and also where
I got angry was when he said:
“…On social networking sites, you’re supposed to socialize with those you
feel close and comfortable talking to…”
What’s that I see? He is telling people how
to use Facebook!!! Now that and I hope you see where I am coming form with
this, is absolutely disgraceful. He is basically being a complete and utter one
sided person here. I mean, come on. Isn’t that a tad stupid. It’s like me
telling him how to live his life. You just don’t put that. Yes, okay, Facebook
is a way to talk to friends, not just to talk to those close to you. Isn’t it
the same as telling someone to alienate themselves from the rest of their
friends?
Now, there was one point in his blog where
he made sense, and I saw what he was meaning:
“… Posting your depressing feelings for everyone else to see is like going
to a conference, standing up with a megaphone and announcing “Help me, my
boyfriend has just dumped me… F.M.L. I’m going to jump off a bridge if someone
doesn’t tell me everything’s going to be okay…”
Here he is saying that Facebook is like a
meeting place, but online. But I read it again and I saw it in another light
too. If you, as the reader of my blog can see what I mean then well done to
you. But, he is genuinely being obnoxious his self. He portrays people who are
in depression in a mean way. He is literally stereotyping a depressed person!! That
is one of the most spiteful things to do in the world. What if a person who is
depressed reads this? What would their reaction be? I can tell you. Anger.
Upset. And hell, what if they then commit suicide? Oh, and there was one bit I was
literally raging at, he said:
“… You look like an attention-seeking whore. Sorry…”
WHAT!!!! Did he just put that? That is one of the most disgraceful things
ever. Then to put sorry at the end? I’m not sorry to say this but Daniel .E.
you are bang out of order okay? You can’t just say that. Here’s a few more
quotes from his blog, I’ll let you see what he says. Then you can make the
decision about his blog:
“… (8) You think you can trust, trust. But it’s not enough. Through all of
the lies, the pain and cries, it’s enough to say goodbye
” – Some random teenager with a first world
problem…”
“… Please, please keeps this depressing stuff to yourselves, I beg of you.
It’s ridiculous, people post crap in order to get attention…”
“… Either get over yourself, or go back to asking celebrities to follow you
on Twitter, or whatever you do when you’re not whinging at god knows who
through Facebook…”
And can you remember how I said he contradicts
his self? Here is how he does it:
“…The truth however is that as much as I say I find this stuff irritating,
I really don’t mind…”
Talk about backtracking quickly. He talks
about how he hates depressive status’s and then he says that? Hahaha, I’m sorry
but that is just a load of cock and bull. He obviously does mind it, and he was
clearly making that point in his blog, then why the hell say you don’t mind it?
It doesn’t seem right. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my corrections on his blog.
But if I didn’t read it, then he would probably got away with it.
Anyway, I’m going to go now and put more
depressive status’s on Facebook. Joking. But seriously, my Facebook profile, my
status, my life and my choice of words. See you lot later and keep checking
back for new blog posts.
