I use Facebook. Like a lot of people on this planet (Sorry, not in a statistic-y mood). This I understand, as people find it useful. What I don’t get is why people on Facebook will participate in thh (Too be honest) statuses. Pretty much, for people who don’t have their face buried in a book or like talking to a wall, it is a status that generally reads: ‘Like for a tbh
’. (If you don’t know what a like is, I can’t help you.) You like and will receive your tbh in a length of time relative to how much touching up you have done on your profile picture. (That’s a joke old person).
If you do receive a reply (Sometimes you are ignored because the person despises you.) it will go along the lines off…
“tbh… you are like my rock, my stars, my one true love.”
Or
“tbh… I hate you and your ugly face so much. Just #$%^ off… but I feel we can talk out our differences and move on…”
This is the tbh. In my view, it is putting yourself in a positioned to be judged and rated. How would you even know if they are being truthful over the blinding white neutrality of Facebook? You are asking for an opinion of who you are as a person. These people are meant to be your Facebook friends. You would hope these people had a pretty high opinion of you any way. (If you’re a personal friend of mine and you are reading this, you are exempt from my expectations of a ‘friend’. Please continue treating me like crap in a respectful manner.).
What irks me a little bit more is Qoohme. Pretty much, a person sets up an account (the front page says it only takes 45 seconds) and you wait for people to ask you a question ANONYMOUSLY. You then give a reply. This is possibly the worst idea I have heard of. A lot of my Facebook friends, are participating in this rubbish and as a lot of people might agree, the term friend on Facebook is a loose one oftentimes. You know what this Qoohme is? It is an internet troll feeding ground.

A few mates have just taken it up. They often get people asking about their love lives (one will know when he sees this that I am talking up his love life.) and messages saying how deeply, passionately in love this random is with the profile holder. I can’t decide whether to call the latter ‘Cathartic- nameless-I’m-sorry-but-I-was-born-with-no-brain-but-I-still-hope-we-can-see-a-movie-one-day-opps-you-don’t-know-who-this-is-oh-well’ or ‘bullying/trolling-haha-what-a-sucker’. Of course, I am not knocking these people who choose to do this as it is there choice of what they do. It is just another thing people do that confuse me. Would you like to receive expert opinion of who you are from that girl you kind of spoke to in last week’s science class or just trust that you can handle it all by yourself or with some real friends.
Why subject yourself to judgement and ridicule from friends or unknowns? Is there some deep, elusive meaning to this I as a sane person do not comprehend? Because to be honest at the moment I don’t understand…
