too much information

Something that has been bugging me for some time now is people who post non-stop about their kids, fetuses(?) and status of genitalia on facebook. I think I’ve written about this before but the thing is, is that people are just getting worse with it! Every time I check facebook someone is posting something way too personal.

For instance, on the wall for an upcoming event someone put this: “Snip surgery on the 9th of September so party will definitely be after that.” I’m sorry but are you for real? I barely know you, nor do I need to know the status of your swimmers.

Or the girls who constantly post about their pregnancy; example “4 weeks to go!” or “here’s my latest sonogram picture”. Honestly I do.not.care. I’m glad that you’re happy but I do not need 24/7 updates about it.  What’s worse is that this will just continue with updates after they have the baby. Gag me with a rattle. Please.

I understand keeping people informed about your life, I get that and there’s nothing wrong with that. What confuses me is that people no longer understand the concept of privacy, or too much information, or over sharing.

If you don’t believe me that people are crazy on facebook, and treat it like their own magazine or as though it’s their own 15minutes of self-absorbed fame:

At some point people will begin to understand the concept of privacy, right? At some point they’ll realize that I don’t care that they are 4cms dilated, or getting ’snipped’? At some point, people will become less vacuous and self absorbed?

I mean, get a blog if you really want to be self-absorbed and vacuous!
