[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently lost my mother and shared this on Facebook.  I got lots of very nice responses from close friends as well as other people who rarely comment on my posts.  It was really nice that so many people came out of the woodwork to express their sympathy.

At the same time I was disappointed at a few "friends" who frequently post (several times a day) about their wonderful lives, but didn't even bother to say anything in response to my sad news.  I am talking about friends who will comment when I have a great photo of myself ("Wow you look great").  So I know these people are definitely "following" me.

I am so tempted to unfriend these "friends."  To put it in perspective, there are only a couple I can think of, and these are the narcissistic daily posters sharing each and every experience they have in their lives.  So I think I get it and maybe should feel sorry for them.

Just a rant...thanks for listening.[/quote]

-not every post of yours shows up in your friends timeline, so it is entirely possible your friend didn't see the news on social media
-not everyone spends all day on social media, so it is possible your friend didn't see the news that minute or day.
-not everyone is comfortable with certain types of posts on social media, this might be one of them.[/quote]
