You ever felt like you wanna shake someone so they'll realize they don't have to do things a certain way?

@WhateverWorks I see your point. Maybe I wasn't really being kind in this post. It was more of a vent, a ranting if you will. That's why it's tagged as upset.
But I appreciate your honesty.
Thank you for telling me.

See, I usually come here to relax and unwind. So seeing those posts just made me feel ughh...and yes I do use the block and mute functions. I just did on one of those posts actually.

The thing is we all have our standards we try to reach for ourselves and standards we use to decide the people that we let in our circle. It's inevitable that our way of thinking and standards could crash with those of others. Some posts are offensive to the standards I live by, or I feel they don't help my effort to becoming who I want to be. That's why I block and mute.

Each to one's own choices for who he/she strives to be.

I hear you. On a personal level, I agree with your values. If nothing else, I feel like one of the most important rules of SW ‘you can’t please everybody‘. I recall a rando making some jab on one of my health posts where I think I was babbling about my weight. They implied how semi charmed my life must be if that my greatest concern, that I was superficial. (Not up to their standards) my reaction? “Boo-fncking-hoo. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You don’t know me. It’s not my job to make sure that everything I write is a thesis in the making or an existential quandary” 🤭@Casheyane

@ravenwind43 I was avoiding using the word cringe but okay. Lol

I have nothing against people sharing photos. But when some posts a pic and open about insecurities, asking how to better but then reject all recommendations and advices and insist that they don't want to change, it just doesn't make sense and their true motive becomes evident. It's well...yeah. It tells me they're not the kind of people I want in my feed nor the kind of people I could look up to. Not in that aspect of self image and handling insecurities at least.

@Casheyane Common sense is not so common (and you have it.) Welcome to the unpopular club lol.
The internet has it's own energy and societal expectations that differ widely from the outside world. In offline world we still want to put our best efforts forward. In online world negativity and a lacking self image have become ways to getting critical attention through the garnering of sympathy.
You are right, it doesn't make sense.
Good post.

@jshm2 Standards is a thing many tends to forget. How they value themselves. They could do better if they only realize how much they are worth.
