[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that its bizarre that everyone takes the OP's post and concludes that the Facebook over-sharer is either crazy, in "desperate" need of help, or needs therapy of some kind.  Have you all ever considered that how YOU would approach something or do something is just that - how YOU would do it? Perhaps she feels that shes shedding light on issues that are not often discussed publicly and thinks that it might actually help someone else? Perhaps she feels that this is part of her Christian journey in providing her testimony and how it has helped her life? Presumably, after being asked, she said not only is she fine, but if you're not fine with her posting - stop reading.  This about sums up any "talking to" that she needs done as a "friend".  Presumably, if shes an adult, shes acutely aware of the consequences of posting whether it be future jobs or judgement from "friends" and has decided to do exactly as she pleases.

I'm of the personal opinion that social media for me is simply of way of touching base with friends that are scattered throughout the country and world, for that matter, and an easy way to reconnect and I get good recipes and time saving tips.  I don't post often, and I don't post pics. Now some call ME crazy because I don't post pictures. I'm not ugly, nor am I insecure in any way...I am just personally uncomfortable with leveraging social media in that manner.  However, I don't call my friend "crazy" or in need of help because they feel the exact opposite.  I have friends who post daily excruciating minutia from what they are eating for dinner, what time they woke up, to the wait times at DMV.   I don't judge them - I simply let them be and ignore posts that I'm not interested in and/or block folks from my feed.

I'm not sure what the OP is asking if the Facebook friend has already responded to her "help". You all sound like micromanagers of people's daily events, life choices, and ethics.  Get over yourselves. Your superiority complex slips are showing.[/quote]

You sound like a know it all. [/quote]
