[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would cut them all out.  Or at least put a quote up on FB talking about the situation so everyone knows you know. [/quote]

Lol I hope you are joking about vague-booking. [/quote]

No not joking.  These are the situations FB is perfect for.  That way you don’t have to actually confront anyone, everyone already knows that you know. [/quote]

Oh my goodness, no. This would not only ostracize her from this group, but any other would-be friends. I would avoid anyone IRL who did something like this. Totally pathetic.[/quote]

+1000. As soon as I find out someone is the type of person who posts vague booking statuses to social media, I know that they are a drama queen, and to avoid them as much as possible. My only problem is not finding out soon enough. [/quote]

I don’t do this (I am not on Facebook) but this response is itself overly dramatic and severe.

I think people often post to social media out of a desire to connect and be accepted, and I think “vaguebooking” is a perfect example of this. They are having feelings and want to share them in a socially acceptable way and maybe get affirmation and validation. Is this the best way to go about that? No. But does that make their goal inherently bad or even particularly unusual? Nope.

I honestly don’t think there’s much difference between and social media post. A vague quote, a picture from your vacation, a complaint about a bad customer service experience, a baby announcement. It’s all the same. People want to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. Some is more effective that others but the desire is the same. It’s silly to criticize someone who vaguebooks as needier or more dramatic than anything else.[/quote]
