Navigating the Social Media Minefield: A Doctor’s Perspective on Facebook Faux Pas

I’ll be frank—there’s a certain strain of social media behavior that has me reevaluating my online connections. I know we share numerous acquaintances, and you might be an absolute gem in real life, but our virtual interactions? They might have reached a point of no return.

Consider this our amicable Facebook split. We gave it a fair go, after all. I enjoyed your adorable posts of your kids dressed up for Halloween and admired your knack for capturing the perfect vacation shot. Still, I couldn’t overlook the times you shared articles that sparked heated debates or expressed opinions that diverged sharply from my own values. I even played along when you teased “exciting news” without ever revealing what it was—my enthusiasm was real, but so was the eye-roll I suppressed.

As my grandmother wisely advised, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” So I scrolled past your humblebrags and ignored the moments that turned my stomach. But I’ve reached a breaking point. I can no longer tolerate your posts that preach wellness tips while neglecting basic social decency.

I understand the urge to share how “blessed” you feel, and while it’s great to celebrate life, your constant hashtagging is a bit too much for me. It’s not that I begrudge you your happiness—far from it! But when your updates begin to feel like a competition for piety, I can’t help but feel a little nauseous.

If you’re using Facebook as your personal platform to critique every parenting choice I make, I need to step back. I get that you’re passionate about your choices, but I can only handle so much judgment, even when you preface it with, “I don’t mean to judge but…” It’s exhausting.

Perhaps my sensitivity is hormonal, or maybe I’m just fed up with the negativity that can saturate our feeds. If you’re sharing sexist, racist, or homophobic jokes, you’ll find your exit from my friend list quicker than you can say “unfriend.” This time, it truly is you—goodbye and good riddance!

Regardless of the reasoning behind our social media separation, please don’t take it personally. It’s simply a reflection of my need for a healthier online space.
