Not everything needs to be documented.

It would be a pretty interesting experiment to see if such a request would increase/decrease attendance and if guests would actually honor the request. [/quote]
I don't think most people would care. People post party photos because they're cute, funny, etc.

Honestly I get feeling left out but truly, not everything is about you. [/quote]

It's usually just people smiling. Nothing cute or funny about it. It's just "look at me" nothing else. [/quote]
Great. If it's just people smiling then you shouldn't feel too left out.[/quote]

I don't. But y'all aren't as cute and funny as you think you are. [/quote]
???? Quite the assumption. I haven't posted a photo of myself to social media since 2018. My last post is in 2019 and it's a picture of a deer in my backyard lmfao. I just don't think a bunch of women who are probably drunk on mid-range wine are going out of their way to make me feel left out when they post a pic of themselves.[/quote]

Well you assumed I felt left out. I don't. We can have different opinions on it. I think needing to post a pic to let everyone know you were at a party is weird and sad. [/quote]
Right. And I'm saying that I am not convinced that's the reason every single person who posts pictures from a party does it. You don't know why they do it. To immediately attribute it to "Well they just wanted to let people know they were there" is bizarre.[/quote]

[b]Nobody has provided a single reason other than they think they look cute. Really, how lame.[/b] Seems like most people have gotten the message that this is tacky. I'm surprised there are still many people doing this at all still.[/quote]
Okay but that is a reason! You say you want a reason, you're given a reason, and then you say "Well that's a lame reason!" I think my racist aunt and uncle's reason for voting for Trump in 2020 was lame, but that doesn't mean there's no reason they did it!

Automatically assuming the reason was "[b]I just wanted everyone to know I was there and to be jealous that they weren't" [/b]is a bit of a stretch, is all I'm trying to say. Especially when in reality, the people who posted the Instagram stories of the party probably weren't even thinking of OP. [/quote]

Maybe it really is just a generational thing, but I honestly think this is the whole point of social media, in so many words.[/quote]
Then it isn't for you! And that's okay!

My last picture of me on Instagram is with my friend at a fun party she threw in winter of 2018. It's a picture of the two of us. I thought we looked cute. I didn't do it so that OP would see and feel left out. I just thought it was a cute picture.[/quote]

DP, and you want other people to think you look cute too? Is that the idea?

“Look at us, see how cute we are”.[/quote]
Not really. I was married at the time and so was she. It was just a cute picture of us. I wanted to put it on Instagram. It wasn't a big deal. [/quote]

Why not just share with her? Did you have no way of just sending it to her?[/quote]

DP, I’m guessing it’s so other people think it’s a recent picture. Look how cute we look. Without saying it was taken 5 years ago.[/quote]
