[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to really think they owe it to you to tell you this information. It's kind of astounding that you would think that![/quote]

Op here. I have taken my humble pie and admitted that perhaps there are good reasons to not disclose. I’ll admit that in hindsight. But I also take offense to those social media friends that posts family details nonstop, drawing people in for clicks or nice comments about their families, lives, accomplishments, etc. they are putting it out there for everyone to admire and comment on, drawing us in and making us part of the extended family. Affirmations.

Maybe part of my humble pie approach is that I just won’t take the bait anymore and refuse clicking or providing comments to essentially make them feel better about the pics or updates. It doesn’t always get to go one way. Like many of the more angry posters have said, none of my business. My response going forward could very well be, just don’t ask me to participate in the game. I think its a fair response. They knew that people would ask, especially posting as much as they do. It’s within their right to withhold it. But it’s also within my right to ignore future posts.

I already know that some of you will be like “ no don’t do that,” but seriously it’s an exchange. People have choice to share and to respond.

Consequences or else it will always be a Lucy/Charlie Brown situation.[/quote]

I am a NP and I have to say that you, OP, are sounding meaner and more unkind every single time you post.  I thought your first post was abhorrent but now … sheesh.

Their posts are not about you.  If you think they are then you need to pull your narcissistic head out of your rectum and take a good look at the world.  They are sharing information they want to share … the same way that 30 years ago they would if you were sitting at a table enjoying dinner.  That they can use social media now means that more people hear more quickly.  They aren't baiting you.  They aren't waiting for you to "make them feel better about the pics or updates."  And as far as I can tell no one is trying to impede your "right to ignore future posts."  In fact that sounds all the better.  Since you aren't a friend and clearly don't feel friendly about them, you should really ignore their posts and hopefully they will ignore yours.

FWIW, I don't even have a Facebook account and even I know it isn't about you, OP.[/quote]
