The fear of the facebook status

We all know it. We’ve all been there.

We’re going through Facebook friends, seeing what everyone is up to, and, of course, seeing who from high school you know is engaged, getting married, single, pregnant, already a mommy, whatever. It’s an addiction, really. Or maybe it’s just the nosy in me.

Sidenote: Holy crap to all the friends I knew in high school that have kids and are getting married/are engaged… Congrats, I guess. But wow. I’m getting old.

Anyway.

I’m perusing my newsfeed and come across more than a handful of people that were listed as in “complicated” relationships. I’ve never understood the meaning of a “complicated” relationship. You’re either in a relationship, or you’re not. And if you’re in one of those transitional, in-between stages, you just don’t publicize that.

Anyway, here’s something I found online that was relatively amusing.

For women…

haha

For men…

Go ahead. Overanalyze THAT.

HA HA! I really enjoyed that. It’s so true, though. I’m a total Facebook lurker!

I laugh when people take Facebook really seriously for these exact reasons. I mean, half the time, my status updates are song lyrics that no one ever thinks to Google. It’s very interesting how disingenuous social media can be.

People need to stop getting married and broadcasting it everywhere! Makes me feel bad about myself!

This is great. When my best friend Amy signed up on facebook, she listed she was married and a friend of ours gave a hard time about, joking with her to who etc…though she is married to his best friend. So we decided that we would list we were married to each other. Man the responses we got. A lot of congrats and who knew…makes me laugh!!
