Another thing I wanted to rant about with Facebook is how people don’t keep their personal relationships “private”. Notice how people become so obsessed with that “relationship status” option? You know they go from “single”, “in a relationship” or “married”? Why is it do people feel the need to publicly speak on not wanting to be single. When they do get in a relationship with a partner, they’ll announce it publicly, the same when people are just getting married. There are couple’s in there being way too personal about their relationships when it should be kept in their own business and off of facebook. Why is that people become so obsessed with love and relationships in social networking sites?

Really, what are my thoughts about all this relationship stuff? Seriously, who cares!!! It’s not about jealousy because I’m single, no not at all. It’s just personal stuff that should be kept off the public. Do we really need to know how your relationship went in detail? If I ever get in a relationship with somebody special someday, I probably will be strict about it and keep things off the public. I don’t need people to know how we got together and if we’re gonna get married or personal things like that.

Want your life private? NEWS FLASH!!!! Don’t put it on the internet! The facebook privacy features will not help any. It’s your own responsibility to what you’re posting publicly. If you don’t want people talking about your vacation to Disneyworld or to the Bahamas with your girlfriend, then don’t put it publicly in facebook. Don’t want people talking about your family or your marriage, then stop posting personal pictures in your photo galleries.

I mean, people would post everything about their lives, even their wedding pictures. It’s crazy stuff, I tell ya. People don’t realize how risky social networking sites can be. Why do people post their personal relationships publicly in their profiles? My guess is that they want to be respected and be supported by the people around them, they seem to enjoy that kind of attention.

FB is becoming a bit of a turn off for these reasons.
