I have been known to waste an hour or two just browsing through my NewsFeed on Facebook or scrolling through my Instagram first thing in the morning .I find this helps to set myself up for the day, because , let’s face it- once you’ve come across some of the stupidity of people on social media , youre pretty much set for anything you’ll face in the real world.
Through my experiences , I have come to the conculsion that there are clear categories which people fit into online. These do not apply to everyone but they are definitly ones I have come across regularly. I thought I would share them and see if you can relate.

#1 Everything Is Awesome

These people are the ones who photoshop their lives to show only the good bits on social media with statuses claiming how hungover they are after the BEST NIGHT EVER or pictures with ALL of their friends having an awesome time.Steer clear from these people’s pages if you’re having a bad day – you’ll begin to question your very existence.
Of course, deep down we all know the truth about these people and we know that not everything can possibly be rosey 100% of the time but when we’re having a bad day , those perfect pictures of that night when they were privately serenaded by Ed Sheeran might just be enough to make us want to go live with the foxes and rabbits in the wilderness.

#2 Woe Is Me

These people I find annoying but some what intriguing . They post up statuses that read ” Had the worst day. So depressed. Wish a certain someone would go away” and things of that nature. It is not the passive agressive nature of their posts, (- I am the queen of passive agressive!) but their intolerable need to bring everyone down with them on their shipwreck of doom.
Just blue skying this, but maybe if you spent more time confronting the people you have a problem with , and less time telling your 500 other friends who don’t have the slightest clue what you’re on about. you might end up happier.
I just don’t understand the point.When did anyone say “I had a really bad day , but thankfully I posted it online and immediatly felt great again.” Posting your drama online doesn’t make it go away , it just makes you seem whiney and attention hungry.

#3 Commentator

These people use Facebook like it’s Twitter, for the sole purpose of shoving their opinions on various topics down people’s computer screens. The whole idea of “Social Media” to me ,should mean that sociability can be focused on , not policits or any other beliefs. It is interesting to have discussions and debates on important issues but I wonder is Facebook really the right forum for this?
If you’re not on there to stay in touch with friends, or you dont comment on anyone else’s posts, then why bother? Just go and be a politician or journalist if you feel that it is so important that people hear what you have to say because more often than not , facebook user won’t be interested.
Don’t get me wrong, I know we are all partial to a rant now and then , but I’m talkiing about the people who solely use social media for this purpose – it really grinds my gears.

#4 Grammer Nazi

I am obsessed with good grammer , and even though I make mistakes , I could kick myself when I find them. However there are people who take good grammer to a whole different level. When I’m sending a quick post to my friend’s page to say hi and hope she is well, I dont need a person commenting under it informing me that I wrote “Your” when I should have written “You’re”. It’s social media! When I’m writing a letter to the President about world peace, then you can correct my grammer and spelling and I will welcome it, but when I’m writing to a friend who will more ore less get the jist of what I am saying , that’s more than acceptable to me.

The thing that annoys me most about this is that it’s never the person who I am directing the comment towards who feels the need to call me up on it’s that person who is sitting there , just waiting for someone to slip up so they can be the first to point it out because let’s be honest – It’s the dream!.

#5 The Photobomber

I’m not talking about a person who photobombs everyone’s pictures , I’m talking about that person who just leaves an EXPLOSION of photos all over your NewsFeed . They will have gone out the night before with a few friends that you will have in common and next thing you know , their face will be every where you look on facebook – so much so that there is little else to look at. Then , at night you will close your eyes and their face will be imprinted on your brain and you’ll be haunted by that duck-face selfie until you can find something else to replace it in your memories.

So there you have it , there are the 5 types of people I have come across on social media . If you come across any of these people when you’re next scrolling your NewsFeed, be patient , they know not what they do. I think at times we have all been at least one of these and maybe some how , acknowledging this can bring us together in the knowledge that we can all be extremely irritating when hiding behind our computer screen-shields.
