Is it REALLY that bad? - or otherwise known as - Sucks to be you

Whine ..Grumble ... Yeah, My "online Family" I visit everyday via social media such as facebook, twitter, Google+ whines.  Some have legit complaints and we all have jumped to social media to vent out frustrations.  But some, I read their stream and think ... reaaally...

The I feel bad singers
You know this type - they are often heard singing .. " I feel bad .. nananana... like I knew that I would" I know some have real illnesses - and serious ones - but some NEVER seem to be well - they have a cold, allergies,stubbed their toe, got a hangnail and always seem like they have one foot in the grave.  I read their ailments and think of friends that are battling serious illnesses ... my daughter whom just went through a series of tests for cancer ( luckily all came back negative) ... my Dad battling COPD whom still gets out everyday... a friends nephew whom came back from Iraq in a wheelchair....and a few friends whom are very sick and the Doctors havent a clue what is wrong so the trail and error testing goes on.

The Drama Llama riders
I swear, some live for the drama.  And if none is readily available, will come and llama spit on your whoo hoo posts. They ride the wave of anger, and if not copping a "woes me" approach , will be sporting a "you suck" attitude.  Someone not saying hi is a major crisis.
I think of those in abusive relationships, dealing with crazy exes or going through messy divorces, those battling addiction, trying to hold families together and parents of teenagers (TOTAL Drama time!)

The LOOK AT ME swat team
You know this type - often shooting out posts rapid fire like machine gun Kelly -  often about what they are selling, (EVERYTHING they sell), pictures of their kids, their pets, themselves, and love using foursquare, like anyone cares they are at the local Starbucks.  Often tags EVERYONE in their pictures which causes you to have pics across the top of your Facebook profile of their Auntie May and her cat Rosco sleeping on the coach drooling.

The Chronic Complaint Crooners
Its too hot! Its too cold! Its too rainy, sunny, cloudy, snowy.  Why am I awake? Its too early, late, I had five minutes left before the alarm.  Facebooks sucks, Twitter sucks, work sucks, YOU suck!
Ya know ... "Whatevah people!"
I think of those still struggling to rebuild from tornadoes and floods,...those whom are running on little sleep due to sickness or having to work overtime to make ends meet.  I think of our soldiers braving the elements and lack of sleep protecting us.

Now for the equally annoying -

Sunshine and Lollipops Crowd
They repost the pretty .. ஜ۩۞۩ஜ♥▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬●▬▬ஜ۩۞۩▬▬●▬​ ▬ஜ۩۞۩  "You are Awesome!" Repost on five friends pages and if you get back two you are loved. "
Enough of them and your stream and the stream of your friends get overloaded.
Rarely do they say - I feel your pain but often toss you the rainbows and unicorns.
Good to be optimistic - but really, some of you are holding out with the good drugs.
Like a friend once told me - It is not all sunshine and lollipops ..

Surely everyone has their own pet peeve on the Social Media crazies - whats yours?
