This document discusses different types of annoying people commonly found on Facebook. It identifies "boasters" who overshare about their relationships, "downers" who constantly complain, "self-absorbed" people who incessantly post trivial details about their lives, "attention-seekers" who post mostly selfies, and "sanctimonious friends" who constantly preach to others. It concludes by acknowledging we all have moments of wanting attention or to vent, but suggests unfriending people online who have become too irritating and spending more real-world time with actual friends instead.

'Tomy loving husband,I loveyou more
and more eachday'is the common status
of a Boaster.When I first.sawsucha status

everyoneto know they're in love and never
stoppedto think that this is bestexpressed
face-to-face,in private.The samepeople

Theseare the cream of the crop, the
'friends'you'd walk pastin the streetand
not even recognise.How could you when
only 5 of their 1000Facebookpictures
actually feature them wearing clothes?l
"Ah, sorry, didn't recogniseyou with your
clotheson". Thesepeopleneedto be seen.
Their skin is crying out for attention. Bur
theseare the samepeople who complain
about not being taken seriously If you
want to be takenseriouslymy'friend', stop
parading around in your underwear, relax
thosepouty lips of yours and takethat
lollypop out of your mouth!

They'rea differentbreedto the restof us.
Their holier-than-thou rantings areenough to
makeyou want to run a mile in the opposite
direction or dependingon the time of day,
puke in your comflakes.No soonerdo you
log onto your FB pageand there they are
preachingon how we should all live...and
it'susuallyby their book and their rules.
Whether its the know-it-all mum who wisely
dispensesparenting advice to all and sundry
usuallyusing her cieanliving, perfectfamily
asfine examplesto the religious zealot who
seeminglyhasa directhotline to God, the
sanctimonious'friend'is one to avoid at all
costsif you treasureyour sanityand normal
blood pressure.
Please dont be alarmed ifyou recognise
yourselfin any ofthe above descriptions.
We all need attention, to show off and to
vent out our anger at times and doing so
behind the'safety'of a computer screen
is often the easiest way. But has it all
become a bit too much? Have we become
a hit too superficial and self-absorbed?
The positive thing is that itb a lot easier
to de-friend someone online than it is in
real life, especially if that person wasn't
really your friend in the first place. You
can do so at the click of a button. What I
$rggest is that if the above 'personalities'
are getting a bit too tiresome for you,
click to your heart's content or, even
better, get off the computer and go out
for a coffee and a chat with a real friend.
