[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who once said, "Whenever I post something I get 2 likes, when you post you get 60 comments." I said you need to look at what you post. It's all bragging: "Look at our beach house." "My kid got into fancy private school."

I post things people can relate to. The down and dirty of parenting.

It doesn't have anything to do with jealousy when people don't acknowledge these braggy posts. It's that those posts are usually only applicable to 5% of your friend group. If you want engagement, you have to appeal to the other 95% of your friend group. Otherwise, you can use it as a place to log your family wins, but at best, people won't acknowledge or care. At worst, you'll drive many people away.[/quote]

Not trying to be rude [I’m about to be rude]… who the f cares about these things?? Engagement?! Discussing likes? I feel like this comment has been transported from a dorm in 2005.[/quote]

It's something a friend said TO ME. She was wondering why no one cares about her posts about her beach house. I explained why. Not sure why the follow up comments to this indicate a fundamental lack of reading comprehension, but here we go.[/quote]

+1,000. The lack of reading comprehension is because it’s DCUM.[/quote]
