Kind of like how when someone has an achievement and gets attention and praise for it so someone butts in with their achievement so they can get praise too. But since you don't post you don't get the attention and that's really what bothers you

This is so untrue. I fly private, and stay in hotel penthouses, and this triggers me when I see it. Showing off is showing off, and it’s awful behavior. If there was no social media, you would not be posting anything and living in the moment and enjoying your memory.

You’re making the assumption that someone is posting to brag when in reality they might not be. You are assigning malicious intent. This is all based on your own morals, values and rigid social media code that you have developed.

And yet you are going out of your way to tell us that you fly private and stay in penthouses.

I think you definitely believe folks shouldn’t be posting certain things on social media and it’s likely because you don’t want them to be on your level. You subconsciously want to be better than others, and it’s obvious you find ways to judge people in order to do that.

Lastly: if you are in therapy, you have issues. Good for you for addressing them in therapy. But some things really shouldn’t require therapy. Sometimes you just need to realize that being easily triggered by silly things is your issue instead of digging in to find support in judging others and making yourself feel better.

Comparable to implicit bias: if you feel bad thoughts creeping up, remind yourself it’s not cool and try to shift your mindset. Don’t feed into it.

In short: try not to be a miserable jerk. Be better.

Op - this post wasn’t me. But thanks!

But I’ve read your other posts, and my advice applies to you. Seriously.

Honestly from your post I think you are kind of a judgemental and miserable jerk.
I at least have the decency to question my judgement and get therapy. You don’t

How old are you? Seriously.

Being triggered by social media indicates *you* have an issue. Ditto for being in therapy. Happy, resilient people aren’t triggered by social media or need therapy.

Again, I applaud your effort to seek help, but at some point you might want to evaluate if therapy is helping. Sometimes it’s actually better to handle yourself rather than seek an audience and validation through a paid therapist. I know several people who wasted years/decades with a therapist when what they really needed to do was stop being so self-centered and fixated on their own thoughts and feelings.

The only reason I’m engaging with you is because you posted here. I don’t judge people irl. If I catch myself going there, I recognize it internally and pivot. Again: it’s a skill people should develop.

Oh dear. Your ignorance is showing.

How's your therapy bill? Maybe that's why you can't afford business class.

No one on here said they can’t afford business class.
Many here said they can but would never post about traveling business class. Literally as tacky as posting a photo of you making it rain with actual cash. I’m serious. It’s that obvious

Ok, they don't see it is tacky, and it drives you nuts. Too bad.

DP here. Tacky people never see their tacky behavior as tacky. Either that or they know its tacky and don't have a problem with being tacky. That doesn't change the fact that it is.

You’l be OK, boo.

And then when OP logs back on for work, the people who annoy her will have posted a selfie of themselves lying in the grass, with the caption “Decided to log off and touch grass #amazing (btw my latte is from @expensivecoffeechain and it soooooo #delish, shoes are @lv, love you guys!)” and she’ll be counting the days until her next therapy appointment.

F #touchgrass!

Go stick your feet in sand. Breathe the salt air and absorb the sun.

And be sure to capture all of it for social media ;0)

The weirdest posts I’ve seen lately were families posting pics inside church following mass on Christmas Eve. Weird.

The only pics you should take inside church are formal wedding pics and pics at your child’s baptism, communion or confirmation.

I saw a few families post church pics (by the altar no less) on Christmas Eve. I get that families want a pic of everyone gussied up, but do that at home…not at mass.

Or…… people can photograph what they want, and you can get over it.

Disagree. Taking pics at Christmas mass is weird. Nobody does it. This is the first year I’ve seen it. It’s weird.

You said AT mass but these were after. This is a rule that varies A LOT by church.

Ever.

Social media is toxic, and it is ruining your mental health.

We are devout protestants so we do not celebrate "mass." But our church has beautiful Christmas and Chrismon trees inside the building; we always take a family photo with one.

Not seeing an issue.

Nevertheless: social media is toxic and a major time-suck. Resolve to delete it entirely from your 2023.

I have a coworker who does this. She posts from lounges all over the world. She is just the type who does this, annoying and self-involved. It takes all kinds. I just scroll past. She also will take my ear off about buying a car or something like that, which I find more annoying. I just let her ramble on and half listen. The funniest thing she ever said was she often felt isolated because of her wealth. Huge eye roll. I wanted to say, “People don’t like you because of your personality not your money.”
