Social People

While I still check Facebook on a somewhat regular basis, it's turn this half-hearted, automatic thing that I do because it's there. Like eating ice cream for breakfast. I do get the various types of Facebook people fascinating. The several levels of engagement, the styles of communicating and posts, and their general online presence. Everybody has a few of these in their feed. It's up to you whether or not you stop them.


Free Dating Service! If only it was. Then those random messagesfrom people you didn't connect with when you were really in theirpresence would have sense. The whip is when you aren't even sure whothe person is and take to explore their photos to form out when you metthem. Sneak daters love using Facebook to ask people out on non-dates.You recognize how I look about sneak dates.

Model Hopefuls: I can't help it. I see at all their photos. Sometimes I care I had a million softly lit photos of myself in dramatic composition and a headdress standing in face of frosted winter trees or the ocean, but I don't. Points detracted if they receive constant duck-face. These people ever have friends who are passing into them and all the comments are things like "hubba hubba, you are so beautiful, OMG hot, and that kind of thing. Unfortunately most of my photos are open and thus tend to be unflattering and the comments below are things like, Hahahahahaha or Who's that drunk guy in the background?

The Potentially Suicidal: Facebook is the new suicide note. Watch outfor posts referencing meaninglessness, the fact that the person doesn'tcare about this or that, random dark poetic statements, the National lyrics.

ENGAGED: You love the ones. Suddenly every position is near the fact that they're engaged, and multiple blurry cell phone photos of THE Band and wedding plans and THE DRESS, etc. etc. I think Facebook is a fine way to establish an announcement to your friends but it can go overboard. A twelvemonth and a half ago, when I was certain I would die alone and be eaten by my cats, these people would have filled my already black eye with arsenic. Now I only feel it irritating. Same with the baby/kid people. You love who I'm talking about.

The Wronged and the Restless: I know these people. They have their personal grudges to Facebook and do all these super dramatic posts with loaded statements and veiled references. It's so fun to figure out who they're talking about. "So tired of being lost and want people would only be straightforward." "Going out for a Much needed night with the girls." "Wishes some people would stop being so BULLSHIT." "Thinks anyone who loves the Friction is a misguided asshole who cheats on his girlfriend."
