I often don't post political stuff or anything on my Facebook even though the stuff I want to post is stuff I really believe in, because I have some of those above mentioned "Trump supporters" and they're angry and loud and I don't want to deal with it. It makes me feel bad, but some of them are pretty hateful family members.
I used to be like that. I started posting stuff little by little, and every time, someone would say something nasty and then delete me or just delete me. My facebook feed is nicer now. It was really worth it.
I have a coworker who I want to stab right now. She's mixing up dates, and I've explained it to her THREE TIMES, and she still doesn't get it. She just sent me MY e-mails from two weeks ago, where I explained it to her, and said "but you said this here" AND I CLEARLY DIDN'T.
I have an acquaintance who has been sharing hardship stories with our mutual circle of friends and I don't believe a word this person is saying, but everyone else believes it all. It's all so unbelievable to me ("I woke up this morning and my leg fell off" unbelievable.) It started off a few months ago and seemed harmless enough but now he's asking for money, and people are sending it to him! I don't know how to approach our friends nicely, (how are they falling for this?) or even if I should.
I'm with you on this. I get wanting to help people in need, but this goes beyond that. This is someone who has continually failed to address their own financial irresponsibility, and is throwing a strop because the help they feel 'entitled' to isn't forthcoming.
Hey. I get it. I've been there. Still am, to a lesser regard but yes. Who's fault was it? A combination of circumstance and poor decision making on my part. Not once did I go begging people for help. Never did I imply my financial hardships were someone else's burdens to bear.
Now I'm not saying this makes me better that this person; it doesn't. It does make me more responsible however because unlike the person this is referring to, I took ownership for the situation, and did whatever 'I' had to do to get out of it.
Welcome to adulting. It sucks, but that's all part of the ride.
Agreed. This isn't the first time this person has done this. Each time the amount needed goes up. And somehow, even though it's always "my phone/heating/internet is going to be shut off right now," his shit is never turned off. It's truly amazing.
Its nearly 1k this time too.
I'm glad he's not my friend. He wouldn't be for long anyway.

Oh, need to turn IP off too, I think. I suppose it'll make people feel better to NOT have it on.
