I was wondering last night if people say they are family,friends, associates, or whatever, why do they show so much hate on the next person if they dont know each other in real life? Why am I seeing more and more what I call FB wars? People trying to call people out on things they don't really know anything about or trying to tell people off "indiscreetly" when in person they never took the opportunity to even speak candidly to them? Is facebook becoming the new cowardly way to try and be the big man or woman on campus and get clout with hurtful words and assumptions?
I mean time and time again I see so many people just going off on folks on FB and they have no clue about the person or their lives. Yet they believe it is important to try and lay folks out and say their piece in the most rude and hateful manner. It's like it's a bunch of two year olds having temper tantrums. I imagine when they go on these tirades they are falling out on the floor with their computer or their cell phone in a fit of rage crying and screaming.
I mean is a person's life so bad that they resort to this type of communication to people they don't even know? Is a person so insecure that they allow something that is said on FB to put them in such a rage that they can't even communicate as an adult? It amazes me how people revert to being a 9 year old on the playground throwing sand at the ones they don't like or didn't do like they wanted them to do.
You know in life we have to learn to communicate effectively and not take the cowards way out and resort to posting to FB to get our point across. FB is a great tool to reconnect and spread your knowledge and expertise on subjects and meet new people. But it has become increasingly negative when folks resort to taking a problem they have with someone that they don't even know to the typing pad to make themselves feel good.
I guess people will be people and will do whatever makes them fell good about themselves. I just wish that they would THINK before they TYPE and realize that there are no kudo points, no prizes, not getting from being the big bad FB keep it real only on FB type. I mean get it off of your chest while pounding your chest and showing your fangs never really works for adults, it doesn't even really work for children and that's why we teach them not to do it.
I don't know maybe I'm the one that has it all wrong, I doubt it, but you know I always have to look at the entire picture. After looking at myself I have realized I'm pretty on point with this one. When situations like the "call out" is seen by me, I just have to shake my head and wonder where is that person hurting most? I wonder why their lives are so consumed with others that they can't focus enough to realize that FB is not the right route to take to talk to someone about an issue you may have with them. Most time the tirades are way off of what the perception really is....I can't take part in the FB Wars. If someone has something they really need to get off their chest with me and they know me well enough to have my number I would prefer they call. If I answer cool if not that means I don't want to argue at that time LOL I am happy my life is in a place where I don't need to participate in the wars on FB. I'll stick to just blogging about them LOL
I just hope people realize that it's cowardly to take it to FB and try and hurt and call out people. In the end you harm yourself more than anything else.
Peace & Hairgrease Ya'll
