What can you make up of this post made on a social media account?

I mean dont you think it is a bit personal or intimate to post this in order to get advice from from strangers, even if it can be a neutral response? I mean I dont understand why people look for this type of personal stuff on social media, whty the like to vent intimate issues noone needs to hear or know about.

can't they go directly to their respective friends and ask for help and stay out of social media? As if social media is your BFF and you can ask for help in other places NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Ther eis a social media account on FB called "A little bit of everything" where members of that private group can share ideas and ask for help about anything you can think of, from asking ideas where to find a particular shop, or asking recommendations on tbe best doctor in town, or ideas where to travel in a particular city or asking for solutions or for ideas on family, couple problems, yes members ask for ideas or recommendations on personal, and private issues, instead of asking for help but not posting your intimate problem on social media, because you dont have anyone to ask for help but maybe social media is the solution. Today on that blog a member asked for some help for her friend. But the friend had to ask the problem anonymously because she said her friend was also part of the blog group and her friend herself ask her to ask ont he blog, that sound odd!!! I mean can't both friends talked about the problem between them in private and give each otehr advice and not vent the issue on social media for advice?

The problem posted stated as follows:

"My friend is 45 years old, her husband is 12 years younger and they had 3 years of no sex, he cheated on her at the beginning of their relationship and they been together 12 years and he asked her to break up because they did not have a good relationship not only for the sex but

they did nto share the same things or hobbies so it was better to be apart. My firend is devastated and she feels old and do not know how to start at 45, she does not have family, only one aunt who lives in anotehr country, so she does not have family support, is not possible. Please any advice for her deep sadness"

This is where I ask, really people ask this kind of intimate issues on a social media, even if she asked anonymously on behalf of her friend, and her friend being a part of the blog

group as well and was the one who asked her friend to ask instead of her?

I think it was stated for the simple fact that 1. They wanted attention 2. It’s gossip (people tune into gossip) 3. It creates controversial talk. The biggest highlight I see in my eyes that it can strike up conversation about age difference. Overall in general, people tend to overshare on social media because they need constant stimulation from others on social media on a daily basis

I'm gathering this has to be for attention.

Possibly but why the 2 friends can't talk it over in private without one asking for the help on social media? I mean talk about sex between her friend and his husband? I mean not explicitly but why people have to know that you are not getting sex from your spouse as the spouse for beign younger want different things. I mean the lady says her friend does nto ahve any family close to her so she is out of people to get advice on, so does that make her ask for advice to strangers on social media about sex and her husband? What about talk to her friend but not post anything?
