Have you ever accidentally started drama on Facebook?

Answered 4 years ago

I recently posted a picture at a catch up, one friend wasn't there, I assumed she just didn't go. It turns out she wasn't invited. Obviously she is upset and the group is divided. I feel terrible. Has anyone else done something like this? Can you make me feel better?

I just had this happen to me... some friends caught up and didn't invite me. They also were very sketchy telling me after the catch up. I thought I had found my people, clearly I was wrong. Anyway, I'll get over it, but I won't deny that it hurts.

Its bloody awful, but at least you know where you stand.

My daughter went through it for years, we spent a lot of nights with a box of tissues. She just wouldn't de activate her social media. In the end I planned an amazing birthday party. I let the girls stay in a hotel room, with a room service budget, nails done etc. The girls were all so excited and had talked about it for months, I didn't invite the two little bitches that tormented the other girls by taking it in turns to not invite them to stuff and we flooded their Facebook with pics of what they missed.

Its bloody awful, people need to learn not to do this. My daughter went through hell with a group of friends. The ring leader was horrible to a few girls. Fortunately now the girls have stopped having anything to do with the bitchy ones. Though I must admit I am no better as I may have been a bit of a bitch too.

True- but being someone who does not have facebook I could imagine the posting of a photo does feel like its showing off- except you are not invited. I know this is not the case, but facebook is all about broadcasting and I feel like the majority of people really don’t do well with comparisons.. so it’s no wonder drama is created on that platform. It’s actually a science

It depends on the circumstances but usually excluding one person from a group is seen as rude, facebook or not.

This reminds of something that happened to me. A group were organizing something & somebody suggested leaving someone out. I don't like drama but i thought it was wrong so I made a bit of big deal about & rectifyed it. Then one day guess what? I got left out. No one bothered standing up for me and I realised what completely shitty people they were. Needless to say I dumped their asses and went & found friends that don't act like mean high school girls. If you see something wrong call it out and find better friends.

My kids bio father is a dead beat dad, and has only ever put the bare minimum effort in parenting them. My boys are very close to their step dad, and call him dad. My husband spent hours practising goal kicking with my oldest, I happened to be taking a video of my son when he kicked his first goal in a game. I uploaded the video of my son kicking the goal and running off the field and hugging my husband screaming I did it, and referred to my husband as dad. The boys have called him dad for years, so I didn't think anything of it. My ex isn't on my Facebook, but some of his family is as they like seeing pics of the boys. Well I started a huge shit fight with my exs family and then with the ex.

Hubby sounds like a great man, he's a keeper that one. How wonderful that your boys have such a great role model and father in their lives. Deadbeat & the family can go suck it!

A few years ago a mum pulled over to help someone and they stole her car with a baby still inside. I shared the police post as they were asking people to keep an eye out for the car. Cue arguments between friends about 'the mum is an idiot and shouldn't have pulled over in the first place', 'I'd never put my kid in that situation', 'the mum should be able to assume the best of people and help a stranger' etc.

I’m glad it all turned out well x I wonder if this was the one that resulted in a text message going out- I thought it had a really lovely ending and that’s abhorrent that people can just be so vocal about things they know nothing about.

I accidently posted a message on my page that was meant to go to my cousins private conversation. Somebody saw it and didn’t get the context and thought I was calling all special needs kids retarded and “ in my way”. I explained myself but she lost the plot. Couldn’t believe someone could type that fast. I deleted the post and private messaged her the story but she didn’t want to hear it. She said my kids should be removed from my care and I should be sent to death.

Make you feel better? What about the person who was left out? All you can do is apologize for your thoughtlessness. The girl that was left out should ditch the bitches and move on.

Most of the time they're pretty quick at catching the trolls. I don't even know why they waste their time. Idiots

You did nothing wrong, the friend who wasn't invited has an issue with the event organiser not you. And if the event organiser didn't want photos shared on social media she should have said.

There was a huge fire near my house and there was a chat page updating everything, showing pics etc...I Posted that I saw an ambulance drive past and hoped no one was hurt. This woman went nuts at me about not considering the feelings of firefighters and how dare I post something like that. Some people stood by me, others attacked me. And then SHE went on to actually say what happened and who it happened to.

There's too many weirdos on Facebook. I don't know why you do it to yourselves.

Sounds like a bunch of unhealthy attitudes. Do you like these people? Really? If you didn't post everything on Facebook it wouldn't be a problem. Thirsty for attention.

You sound like a very nice person but I'm sorry, your friends hurt feelings are on her. Her emotions are not your responsible. However, if you are both still friends, making an apology to her might make you both feel better x
