I read something that stuck with me recently. Our intentions are less important than how our actions/words are received. Her comment may have been innocent, but the gut punch you felt is real. Facebook is a mess even when you try to unfriend drama and block out the bs. It seems to be where the worst of the worst find their people. In my case, I deleted several women because teenage drama is really unattractive on 45 year old women!
Facts. I keep my Facebook to stay connected to some family and old friends who don't use any other platform, but it isn't the place I spend most of my time because of exactly what you said Cate. Every time I go on Facebook I feel like I am back in high school trying to keep folks from bullying me. So when that comment was posted, I was triggered and reacted accordingly.
Honestly I aspire to be this clear - Iconic move, in my opinion!!!
That girl was fishing. You laid out enough context for us and I am sure you have more. Go with your gut, without apologies.
Thank you Jennifer! Yeah, people love to get in other folks' business SMH.

Same. I keep it for work and because of older family. Beyond that it’s not where you’ll find me.
The b*tchiness is palpable! Even in a 2nd-hand retyping. I h8 her with you…ok not h8, just block.
