Do you think it is smart to vent on social media that you are going through or went through personal issues?

[Anonymous]

Either in Facebook, or from the personal app Whatassp status. I know many people do it but I want to know the deep reason for them of doing it.

Is it a cry for help for real because they can't find a solution somewhere else outside social media and they have to let people know they are in problems, is it just to draw attention from people so they are just acting like victims and poor them or what other reason could it be? There are mny types of way how a person show their problems on social media, such as writing texts from their own hand about some bad experiences in their past, another way is to find texts and phrases on internet related to their issues and copy paste to their social media accounts. Some of those texts may include criticism towards women for instance because the guy had a bad relationship with women or their exes so they rant it and post it on social media that he can't trust people anymore and only God is the healer and they enjoy being alone and single cause they hate drama (a friend of mine is like this), etc so they rant it on social media.

Is it really wise to do that and will it really help?

I dont know maybe I did wrong in telling a friend why he keep posting bad messages towards women on his Whatassp story texts.

There s a 52yrd old male guy who is a friend of mine, we dont hang out though but we had knwon each otehr for many years now. Lately this friend is postin on his Whatassp status texts he writes himself about him not trusting anymore friends, some relatives because those people always betray him and leave him when things had gone wrong in his life so he only puts his faith in God, his parents and his teenage children cause they will never leave him. Also he wries down texts about that he is better single than in a relationship with women cause women are not to be trusted or that all women are similar. I mean he has some issues for sure. This friend had been divorced for many years now anyway and after that he never cont..

women. He told me that I was taken for granted as some of his messages are aimed to women and indeed if he writes that is because those are things about what is going on in his life or went through in his life, relationship problems, ex problems, life problems. At this moment he is with noone, anyway but his issues with his ex took place more than 8 years ago, but now living alone he writes that stuff. The odd thing his ex is a psychologist and she is his therapist when he needs therapy.

The short answer is no. Anything and everything you post onto the internet can easily be used against you in virtually any capacity.

[Asker]

so why people are that dumb to do it

[BCA6010]

When it comes to ranting or venting, most people aren't in their most rational state of mind, and letting emotion overrule logic and reason.

Tried to add my Opinion but, didn't registered, wonder why? A glitch in the system or the Owner reduced comments?

[Paris13]

There are many Claudia Conways out there who do it. Troubled people.

[Asker]

Im not familiar of Clauida Conways who is she?

[Paris13]

She is on Tick Tock a lot. Kellyanne Conway who was Once the Advisor to the President and then her bad mouth made Kellyanne Quit. Now both have Covid. hahaha

I don’t post my personal drama on social media, but that’s just me.

[Asker]

it is good i dont do it either but why people do it like I asked what si the reawl reason a real and truthful cry for help to draw attention so they can play a victim and poor that person or what else

[KatherineJ]

I wish I knew. Maybe the person posting needs validation? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[jennie16]

omg no you’re embarrassing yourself, while no one else I no s what you’re talking about and it’s annoying

[Asker]

im not embarrasing myself why u say that

[jennie16]

No no not you, people who do that online

[JosyJosy]

No people will just scroll through

[In_Trance]

I think it's pointless

[Asker]

why? what do u think about this friend of mine

[Asker]

He told me that not all people can see his status on social media for he had set his privacy settings to certain people to see their texts and rants. But then I ask myself even if just 3 people can see it is also pointless like you said, because he is venting still his personal problems on social media

[In_Trance]

The reality is, people post crap on social media for one reason; validation. Everyone wants to be noticed, for whatever reason they wanna be noticed for.
Ironically, everyone scrolls past everyone else's posts; because they don't give a shit. They only care about themselves; friends/followers counts, likes and shares, etc. It's a numbers game and it's never enough. People constantly want more validation.
That said, there is no point to posting anything really.

[Asker]

this friend told me that I took for granted his message againt women and he told me that his privacy settings are not for all the people to see just the ones he chooses like friends or like me in this case also but if he posts it those things is because he had been into issuesin the past and also post about life issues. But like I waid even if it is just to post for 2 people to see i dont see a reason to even post anything. SO what should I answer him cause I asked him why he post that and he told me about me takeing for granted and that he post about his life situations, etc etc

[In_Trance]

He's a liar and it's all part of his preconceived scheme.
People know exactly what they're doing

[Asker]

why a liar

[In_Trance]

Because... he knows what he's doing
