Facebook is where people love to post about everything going on in their lives. Most Facebook posts are things that no one really cares about, and some are just straight up annoying. If you're wondering whether or not you should post something, check out this helpful list of things you should never post or do on Facebook.
1. Minion memes
Just seeing this makes me cringe. These aren't funny and they really don't have anything to do with the Despicable Me movies so I just don't get it.
2. Checking in EVERYWHERE you go
Occasionally letting people know that you're trying that new restaurant in town or going on a fun trip somewhere is perfectly fine. But if you're telling the world every time you go to the grocery store, you're just making it easier for people to stalk and murder you...
3. Photos of blood/injuries/broken bones
I'm sorry that I'm even including an image in this post... People who get squeamish do NOT want to see the x-rays from when you got in that accident and broke your arm. And we DEFINITELY don't want photos of that cut you got at work that's bleeding all over the place popping up on our news feeds.
4. Profile photos that aren't a photo of you
The whole point of a profile photo is so people can know who you are. Are you physically a car with the technology to create its own Facebook account? No? Then your profile photo shouldn't be a car. End of story.
5. Those lists of names
We're all sick and tired of seeing these posts that are meant to target people with commonly used names. Someone just decided to pick a bunch of names of people they knew and threw them all together in a list. Please help me as I start the movement to end these types of posts once and for all.
6. Constantly advertising your direct sales side job
Facebook is a great place to reach a lot of people for your business. But if you're constantly flooding people's news feeds with "BUY THIS" and "BUY THAT," you start to lose their interest and eventually it just becomes a nuisance. It's good to find a healthy balance when trying to sell Lularoe, Avon, Tupperware, etc. on Facebook.
7. Pointless rants/arguments
Nothing makes you look tougher than fighting with someone over the internet. NOT. You're just flooding people's timelines with your personal business. We don't want to see it, and you shouldn't want to broadcast it to the world.
8. Relationship drama
If all you want to talk about is how happy you are with your boyfriend, go for it. But if you're on-again, off-again with your significant other, don't share all of your relationship drama with the rest of the world. Just deal with it yourselves and stop letting other people into your love life.
9. Fishing for pity/compliments
We all know people who do this. They post something vague and sad in order to get people to comment on it asking them "What's wrong?" There are also those people that post a photo saying how the photo of themself "isn't cute" so that someone will comment saying that it is.
10. Sliding into DMs
And lastly, don't "slide" into anyone's direct messages. Don't be that creepy guy sending messages to random girls online. That's not the way to win anyone's heart, trust me.
