A myspace rant.
I would write about this on myspace, but then I would kind of be as bad as the people who I am talking about.
Basically, this is about myspace bulletins. The only thing they are good for is surveys, and I will never change my views on that one (woo, the pact!)
I used to hate picture comment bulletins more than anything, but even these now seem almost okay next to ones by certain people who use them to whine and whinge about their terrible, terrible lives.
An actual extract:
'Each day is just like something to get done with.
To finish. To get over.
I don't live. I exist. Thats it.
I make no difference in anyones life.
No ones sitting at home thinking,
I really wish I had (NAME) with me.
Because no one really cares.
Not about me.'
An extract from the same person's profile:
'I have too many problems than I care to talk about.
So does (NAME).
We've had it harder than is fair tbh.
But soon it will change.'
And an older extract from the same profile:
'I'm shit. And tbh you really don't know what it's like.'
SO many things annoy me about this type of thing.
1. It's plainly attention seeking, however much you might deny it. All these people want is hundreds of their myspace friends to reassure them with 'Awww, don't say that! I love you, you're perfect!' And this is what they get. Which obviously just encourages them.
2. Ok, so you might be feeling bad about their life, you might feel like it's too hard, but here is what you do. Tell one of your friends, or someone you're close too, talk about it, tell them anything you like. What you do NOT do is alert every single person on your friends list - most of who you probably don't even know very well, if at all - of your problems. They don't care, and if they do then more fool them. It makes you sound pathetic and arrogant. GET OVER YOURSELVES.
3. Your life is NOT worse than most peoples. You do NOT have more problems than them. The only difference between you and the majority of people is that they don't feel the need to cry about every single thing that goes wrong in their life on a worldwide web page. Everyone knows what it's like to be sad, to hate yourself, to feel stressed, to fall out with friends. Everyone else manages to keep it to themselves or tell people who care.
There are other reasons, but I'm bored. No one who does this kind of thing reads this anyway, but I really felt like writing it all down somewhere. Aren't blogs great?
