Facebook Etiquette - Page 4

I’ve learned that imposing your expectations onto others can often lead to disappointment. You can’t expect others to behave or respond like you would. Just don’t post stuff on their page if not acknowledging it hurts you.

What is of things are you posting?

Hang in there! 😊💐🌸

I would never ever have Facebook for anyone I know. I do use it to keep up with some interests and hobbies, but people I know? No way. Too big of a potential for disaster, turning away people you don't like, reading all that stuff and some people thinking you have to respond to cute things and photos they post. And I sure don't want my life out there, so I'd have nothing to post on a personal level. Friends know me, people I knew a hundred years and have had no contact with don't know me and I"m sure don't care or we would have stayed in touch.

Who on earth has time for all this??????

Here's the thing about Facebook that some people can't seem to understand.

Facebook is what you (generic meaning) make of it.

There is no rule that one must post every day, or what they are doing, or eating, or put "personal information" out there.

Take me for example.

I don't post pictures of every meal that I have.

I don't post where I am every moment of the day.

I don't post what it is that I am doing every hour of the day.

Hell, there are days where I don't post anything at all!

It can be done !

Trust me!

If I can do it, then anybody can do it.

I mostly use it to keep in touch with high school friends, read articles, "Like" my favorite tv shows, keep in touch with family members.

Facebook isn't supposed to stress one out.

It's supposed to be relaxing and fun.

So, chill.

Relax.

Don't stress and worry about if people respond or not.

Just sit back and enjoy.

You just don't understand FB.

I don’t share to anybody’s page...it feels too intrusive to me to do so. My feeling is that, unless I find information on a topic that I know for sure they are interested in, I just don’t do it.

i use “messenger” for this. (It is more private, IMO)

one contact or two have posted to my timeline....and that was ok.

Hi Loves,

This is an excellent way to approach the thought of posting on someone else's page. I should have thought of it!

I've a first cousin who posts religeous stuff all the time on my page and it make me crazy, know that it's a total turn-off for many friends to view her stuff. After a huge hint, she no longer does that.

PM'ing it a great way to accomplishing a "post," without really posting on the friend/relative/colleague's FB page. We should all take notice of this suggestion.

Well I will tell ya, my Facebook has been wonky for a week now. I do not know why. Today, I was seeing posts from last Friday...and no, it's not because someone commented or like it. It's just weird. It could be that the person did not see it.

Just sayin..

Also - anyone can do their FB Settings so that if someone tags you or sends a post directly to your page, it doesn’t automatically go, it sits waiting for you to okay its appearance on your page. I have mine set that way and another in my family does too. Once you “allow” it, it will appear in your FB feed, but if you don’t allow it, no one will see it but you.

I have 1-2 FB Friends who are the direct opposite of me in terms of politics and religion and very vocal where I am not. They post their POV on their Page all the time. When I (very infrequently) post mine in a minor way, I simply make sure they never get/see the post - problem solved. And when something they post annoys me more than usual ;-) I “Hide” it.

I am not offended, at all, if I post something on Facebook, that doesn’t get responded to,

If people post to me, I may or may not respond. If someone shares a joke or cute pic’s, or news story, it may not seem like something that needs a response.

If a post is personally directed, to me:”Suhse have you seen this one?”, then I always try to respond.

I think for many people, especially busy adults, Time is a big issue. Facebook can be fun, but, it’s not a priority.
