Spin-off: Attention Whores (are we allowed to say whores still?)

FFW, on April 8, 2016 at 4:06 PM Posted in Planning 0 83

A recent post got me thinking about the attention whores of the world, esp on social media, and especially those who give weddings/wedding planning a bad name because they make it seem like everyone engaged/planning a wedding are just out seeking attention. On Monday FH sent me this picture (attached- see "show off") "always getting engaged." How do you "always" get engaged? That should only happen once (per marriage). The list is completely STUPID, but I know exactly who they are talking about (posting engagement pictures. Sun: "I said yes" Mon: "this was the best day of my life" tues: "so in love" wed: "can't believe I'm getting married" thur: "650 days until we say I do" fri: "649 days until I marry my best friend"). Those ppl that post about the same thing all the time to get attention. My personal least favorite are the people who go on vacation (and are back from vacation) and post one vacation picture a a day.... seriously. Share your least favorite type of attention whore-ness.

    Can't say "whores" as people will assume you are attacking them

    /sarcasm/

    We can call ourselves whores, just not each other. I think. Or you can elude to "whoreish behavior." I think.

    Pictures of food. Blorp.

    My least favorite are the gym show-offs. The ones who take pictures of themselves on the treadmill or lifting weights, make lots of posts saying things like "working on my fitness," "getting my sweat on," etc and always make sure to check in at the gym. Their gym posts are often followed by posts about their clean eating/meal prep/etc, with pics of that too.

    New moms. I know you want to show off your kid and trust me, I like seeing the pictures, BUT do we really need to see every single picture you take of your child the entire day?

    One picture a day, sure. When you are posting a picture every time your child moves, 30 pictures a day, I am hiding your ass!

    @Kristen OMG yes I forgot about the gym show offs. Trainers get a pass (I have some trainer friends and they post ppl training or motivational reminders or helpful hints/info) but if you are just showing off yourself.... please stop. I am happy for you, but you don't need to remind us every time you hit the gym.

    The worst is the selfie-a-day. Always seeking compliments. I have deleted quite a few people because of that!

    @Nikkell402 you can unfollow you sister LOL. I unfollowed one of my BMs, she a nursing student and always posting gross stuff I can't stomach. While she is trying to raise awareness and be helpful with her knowledge I don't want to see it on my timeline. So I had to unfollow her long ago, we are still "friends" though.

    I am so guilty of posting pictures of my daughter lol. I try to only do a couple a week. I swore I wouldn't be THAT mom. But sure enough I am... Lol

    I do get annoyed with the whole gym pictures all the time. And people who continue to have failed relationships with a different person every other month and share every detail - There's a girl whose been in love like 3 times with different people just this year. She entertaining to following though she's a mess. Lol

    People who have to constantly be loud and the center of attention.

    What about the people that post pictures of the food they make? It's even worse than people who post pics of meals from restaurants. They're basically just trying to say "OMG look I"m an amazing cook!"

    @Nikkell402 actually I don't follow/friend Heather. That would probably be cheating. I don't want VMD to kill me.

    Me in Heather's inbox:

    Ok, this is gross... but I had a guy friend, who for the longest time... maybe 3 months or so? posted pictures of his morning bowel movement and gave a play by play of his potty time along with how long and what he read/did. Yep. Pic of the kids swimming in the pool. So... those who share a bit too much would be my vote to kick.

    @Rebecca: But some of that food looks delicious and if it looks good, then I'll probably make it too.

    There's a lady on my FB that literally posts like 15 pictures of her 4 year old daughter every morning before school and calls it the "daily photo shoot". It's obnoxious and WAY oversharing. So many images of her daughter on the internet.

    @Bailey OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those people hate me. At least once a year, I rant about how I hate "hubby" (in general I hate it) esp when you aren't married.
