[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think no one should post pictures of themselves to Instagram (isn’t that like the point of Instagram?) what do you think people should post?  It has literally never occurred to me that I should be jealous of my friends hanging out with each other or other friends and not me when they post pictures of themselves doing fun things together.  We can’t all be invited to everything and it’s great nice to see my friends having a good time.[/quote]

Are you having a solo party of just 1? Because pretty sure that's not what any of this is about.  It's always about the group events. Not your kid's high school graduation, your wedding, your new baby, etc. But when it's your kid's birthday party and you invited 4 of his 8 best friends and blasted it all over your social media knowing full well the other 4 kids might find out about it, then you're kind of a d!ck. See the difference?[/quote]

Op was referring to a neighborhood friend, not her BFFs meeting up for lunch when she couldn’t make it one day.[/quote]

Today it's the OP with the lunch story. The other day it was about kids not included on a play date. Same situation. This bizarre need to let everyone know you had lunch or a play date. Why not just share the pics with the people involved? n what way is this interesting to your various followers other than to make it clear they know they weren't there. And maybe some thought they were better friends. Used to be, people with better manners, knew better than to talk about such things in front of those not included. The tacky jerks never learned that lesson.[/quote]

I’m the PP who didn’t get why this is such a big deal.  On Instagram, I post extremely boring and repetitive pictures of me lifting weights and my cats, so I’m definitely not guilty of this lol.  But I have often been in OP’s shoes, seeing pics of a party or event I wasn’t invited to.  Sometimes I wish I had been invited or am sad I missed seeing my friends but mostly I’m happy my friends are happy.  It’s nice seeing happy pictures of my friends.  That’s why I’m on social media in the first place: to see my friend being happy.  So I don’t think there’s anything wrong with party pics if people want to post them.[/quote]
