Sometimes I'm really embarassed for other people when they write very personal things on facebook. Honesty is a good thing, but there's such a thing as oversharing. For example, "I'm in so much pain! Why doesn't he appreciate me for who I am?" or "I have been angry all week, but I was finally happy last night." "Jealousy is such a hopeless emotion. I don't like what I'm feeling. And I was doing so well." And then there's the overly spiritual ones that are either cheesy or kind of depressing. I don't need to quote any of those to you because you know them when you see them.
I'm also horribly embarrassed for couples who are so codependent they even share their facebook account. Facebook is built for individuals so to make it into a couple's site means you can only choose one of your birthdays on your profile, you can't both be tagged in a picture, it's confusing to other people (especially long lost friends trying to find you), you're screen name sounds effing stupid, your friends will have to be very specific in whom they are addressing with wall comments, and finally you're broadcasting to everyone how codependent and clingy/insecure you really are. I mean, seriously, what is the point of sharing your facebook? The only plausible reasons I can think of are that one person is not technologically savvy enough to check email by him or herself or that they don't trust each other not to communicate with exes on there.
Now, let me add this disclaimer...I realize that everyone expresses themselves in a different way, and I know that at different points people have been embarrassed for me because of things I've posted. But this is my blog where I get to post my opinions. When you want to vent about me, you can do it on your blog!
