How many 'likes' have you got?

Obviously I am on social media because I am a very hip and trendy 'Ranting Middle Aged Spinster'??!!

Last night I went to the cinema.  I went to the cinema to see 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.  And very good it was too.  Absolutely loved it. I went with a friend, who had already arranged to go with another friend (that I had never met before).  And here lies the problem???

…………….We all posted photos of ourselves having a fabulous time...……………….. on social media???  ....................Well, that's what people do these days isn't it?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  A friend, of my friend, then commented that she'd not had an invite?

FFS...………………… Life moves on.  #Getoverit

To explain...…….. I wanted to go to see the movie, friend said she was going with another friend.  I then asked if I could go with them.

…………..And actually why on earth does anyone care how many likes they get on a FB post?

I actually find it quite sad that no one actually talks to anyone these days.

Soooo...……………… we all post our whole life on FB or Instagram or Snap Chat or wherever?  And everyone thinks that everyone else is having a more fantastic time than they are?!

My problem with this is...…………..  my 'friend of a friend' sees everything on FB and thinks that everyone else is having a better time than her.  If she doesn't get invited to everything single thing that her friend is doing, or everything single thing that is posted on FB etc she goes into a major strop and doesn't talk to us for days/weeks.

Personally, I seriously can't be doing with this.  I'm almost at the end of my tether???

I grew up in the era when there were no mobile phones and no computers and if someone was being 'nasty' to you...……………. you were just told to ignore them...………….

But words can never hurt you.'

Obviously, as a 'Ranting Middle Aged Spinster', I'm probably a lot older than a lot of people here but seriously?...……..

.............................Why does it matter how many 'likes' you get on a FB/Instagram page? Who cares????
