~ It Has Occured To Me~

That I am sick to death of only hearing 'the bad stuff' from people - never the good

That I am sick of people loading me up with drama - dumping it on me then going about their day

I should add this definitely does not apply to anyone that is reading this - it's the real life people that do it

Don't I have enough to deal with myself at the moment without everyone else crap thrown on top?

Don't get me wrong I am the first to be there for a friend in genuine need, but when I get constant text messages and messages on FB about drama and often about people I don't know it all gets too much.  

Especially as it is always the high drama first part of the story, but I never get any follow up.  

So it might be 'OMG I am so worried Fred that I work with might be having a heart attack/going to jail/daughter might have cancer/losing his job' - I never get the end of the story - the outcome.  

I am sorry that this is happening for Fred but really, I can't take on any more.

Or I am hearing all about what so and so DIDN'T do - but never any positives about what that person DID....

"my step father said this or that he is so mean to me..." forgets to mention that Mum and Step Father offer to do her washing and ironing to help out while she is at work.  

"I went and cooked tea for Mum and Step Father even dessert - I am TOO good to them and they don't appreciate it" - forgets to mention they paid her for the groceries, and had offered for her to go around and eat what they had planned for tea.....

This is just a tiny example of the daily 'selective' news I get.....

As far as some of the things I have seen and read around the social networks over the last few week I'm not surprised kids grow up to be bullies - the way the parents behave online at times....
