Thanks for clarifying. Some of your posts sounded like you thought since she posted about personal things, she owed all who questioned her an in-depth explanation.

Right, these people would get annoyed for you even asking. I had a situation, wasn't dating related. Was just some grievance she had with a co-worker or bystander.

And I actually made a joke about it, and she unfriended me. What was sad was, I knew her in real life. I private messaged this person and she said she "needed some space" as she was going through a tough time.

I said, "Well, no reason to unfriend me, I mean...you know me in real life, you know I'm a good guy." I let her be...and in case anyone asks, I didn't have at thing for her.

That's lecturing.

Anything you post on someone's facebook page that is even a little questioning of them, or negative, is like shouting it out in an auditorium full of their friends.

I'd block you, honestly, after a few of those instances and apparently you do it all the time.

Filter, ThisTown, find your filter and use it.

Next time say wow that's awful, I'll be extra careful to make sure my car is locked! if you have to lecture her on locking her car after the fact.

Yup, this all day.

Some people just want to air grievances. Not everyone wants advice. My rule of thumb is, unless someone asks for advice, don't give it.

Some people put everything about their life on the internet, too. I don't do that.

Of course not, that would be considered rude.

OP asked a valid questions, though I would've said, "I thought you had a boyfriend?" which sounds less accusatory. But her reply was totally defensive and rude.

Do people not understand social media? If you want to keep it private, don't put it online. It's that simple.

Celebrities post stuff then get offended all the time. They end up deleting their account or turning off the comments to their pictures.

The smart ones ignore the troll comments or just delete them

I think people are being purposely incompetent or involuntarily incompetent if they cannot understand this simple concept.

This whole thread is why I don't live my life on social media. I actually have friends that I hang out with/talk to IRL.

I can't even imagine "worrying" about the people who's friendship is all about "FB, etc". Those are not your everyday friends. Anyone can "friend" anyone. So not worth it to me.

ETA: Btw.. I'm not "old". I started using computers in the 3rd grade.
