I always thought the point of social media sites was for people to randomly post about different topics, maybe carry on a conversation, maybe have a debate or outright argument with someone, maybe just post some stupid thought and not want any response at all. So, I roll my eyes whenever I see posts from people commenting on how many followers they have or from people on another’s behalf encouraging people to follow them. Because I didn’t realize social media was a popularity contest.

I also don’t understand why (or like) how people comment on the relationships of strangers, whether the strangers be regular joes or celebrities. Most of us realize relationships are two-way streets. Nobody on any platform has an inkling what anyone else’s relationship is like, even if you personally know the people involved. 

It is wrong to surmise you know so-and-so created such-and-such based on the fact that they refused to marry someone or that someone refused to marry them. Maybe they had good reasons to not marry or end the relationship. Because do we really know there was a proposal? How do we know the breakup wasn’t amicable? How do we know it wasn’t the other side who ended it? We don’t know what level of bullshit was involved from either side. We don’t know what it’s like to live with either person. Nor should we give a fuck.
