I’ve been watching social media for a while and I’m come to the conclusion that I’m an internet curmudgeon. I’m one who sits back and shakes my head and facepalms when I see some of these posts shared on social media.
Just a sampling of what I’ve seen.

• “I’m sorry for being awesome.”
• A play by play tweet marathon when a relative had a mental breakdown (some things are best left private)
• A 30 something year old man taking frequent selfies.
• Facebook posts of wounded feet. Bee stings on Instagram.

Now I call myself a curmudgeon because I feel like I’m an exception to what is the norm these days. Facebook and Twitter were made for narcissists. And some people get some kind of justification in life for retweets and likes on Facebook. And slowly I see how the general public really is worse off than what I initially suspected.
