Fake-ness and Social Media

Is Fake-ness a word even? Meh it is now.
I could talk about the fake tits on social media, or the fake booty made by the exaggerated back arch, but that isn't what I mean with this post.
I mean the fake friends.

I get really annoyed over the false intimacy. Oh you saw the pics of my kids bday so you think you're being a good aunt/ uncle/ godparent/ cousin/ friend/ relative in general.... wait does my kid know who the hell you are even? Not likely. The ones they do are in the goddamn pictures with them.

Oh I read your statuses so I totally know what is happening in your life.
No, you know what I choose to share. The people who really care about me actually have conversations with me. They ASK how I am. They look underneath.

What I really really dislike is the fake friends. The ones that you cannot stand. The ones that you talk about to your real friends. The "hide" function is a gift to every passive aggressive person out there. Too scared to delete someone you can't stand? They may actually ask you WHY.... better to passively hide them so you can't see the dumb shit they post.

DELETE. Instead of posting inspirational shit on IG, delete them. From FB and from life. Do it. Grab a set.
Call them out on their bullshit. Tell them you think they are a condescending asshole/ chronic oversharer/ ignorant antivaxxer/ too many game invite guy instead of telling everyone else. Be real.

Or don't. Be passive and bitch about how much thier shit pisses you off in real life. WHY is it worth your time?!!??!
An argument could be made for why social media is worth your time at all. I love it. It's not a secret to anyone. I have made strides to limit the time, but yes I love the articles and the pics of kids and all the crap. I don't love how it's shaped our culture.
