It's a "ptiy" that with your own troubles you don't have more empathy with others: they're almost certainly doing the best they can, just as you are and I am, but that doesn't mean we all get through the bad times in the same way.
Repeated venting can be a step towards action for many people and you don't have to read the posts if you don't want to, let alone respond. I think you should stay away from these "dearest friends" because your attitude to them is quite judgemental and that's the last thing anyone battling these situations needs.
I think you missed the whole section where I try to get my friends to open up to me about their problems and that I actually do try to help be there for them when they need me. It's not that I don't relate. I myself go throught these things, I think there are actually very few who don't to some degree understand emotional weakness. I don't respond to the posts themselves, I don't say anything about them because what is there to say in a public environment like that? Facebook is public I don't want to put them out there like that by making them open their wounds right then and there. I just don't get what the goal is with them.
Well I didn't anyways, Thanks ABC up top for giving me a straight answer.
Anyone else get annoyed with pity posts?
