Facebook Drama

With the invention of the internet, especially Social Media, came what I call - Keyboard Warriors. You know the type. Those who are rough and tough, in your face and claim to be 'telling it like it is' while they are tucked nicely behind the comfort of their monitor.

We've all encountered them, we may even have been them a time or two. Truth of the matter is, it's easier to let your emotions out when you don't have to stare the consequences in the face. However, easier isn't always better.


 This kind of tactless approach is most common in areas where you can hide behind an alias and not show you true identity but there is another branch of  'Keyboard Warrioring" that has revved up my thought process today.
 
Facebook has created a breeding ground for dramatic people to totally engulf themselves in their own self importance and often times they even fool themselves into thinking that people actually care. It's become a place where these DL's (Drama Lovers) gravitate to in an effort to 'call' out people  - but it's never done directly - of course not - that would take balls. Instead, it is a generic statement meant to offend a few but hidden behind the guise of a 'message for all'.

If you really were as tough as you act, you would've either tagged the people it's in reference to (Because it is highly unlikely it's a message to all 500 of your Facebook friends) or you would've done it the old fashioned way and paid your pal a little visit face to face.

If you have a message meant for one or two or ten people - why would you post it on Facebook for
all the world to see? Why do you think anyone cares? Why wouldn't you approach those individuals as, oh I dunno, individuals.

Because that would take courage. That would require you to not be a keyboard warrior and address a situation head-on. Like someone who actually was mature. And that's not who you are is it? No. You're one of those people who post bullshit post upon bullshit post victimizing yourself, acting like your life is so bad or there are so many people against you. Acting as if you didn't bring every goddamn thing wrong in your life, upon yourself.

Man up buttercup. You made your bed, you lie in. Accept responsibility. Be accountable. And if you don't like it, change the sheets and try keeping your dirty laundry off of Facebook. Clean it up in real life and maybe you won't have so much to bitch about.
