[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689513, member: 18958"] I have no experience about facebook blogs as I do not do any social media. This site is the only one even remotely social media that I do. I am wondering why and how this affected you. I mean, is it really because his theme was tangential to the blog's purported purpose, or something else? Was it bragging about kids? I mean, that would touch me. My sister is a braggart about her kids (and everything else). Sometimes I wonder if it is to hurt me, part of it. The rest, I know she is insecure and insensitive to the feelings of others. She just does not care. Is that he exposed himself as somewhat limited, and possibly even subject to ridicule, and did not realize it? Are you feeling somewhat vulnerable or ashamed yourself that it touched you? Or that you laughed over it with your friend? When people show their underbelly like that, without realizing it, it can sometimes trigger our own sadism--we get anxious because we want to deflate them--and judge ourselves harshly for this. Even though it is the human condition. Kind of like when dogs show their submissiveness by showing their necks and grinning, and laying down. When humans brag and gloat they really demonstrate their sense of inferiority. It is a means of compensation. Come to think about it my aunt used to brag--about her kids, her designer clothes, beachfront home--she was a multi-millionaire but came from a family of immigrants, that described themselves as greenhorns. It killed her that no matter what she could not overcome who she was. How very sad. [/QUOTE]
