Ok, it's facebook I know, but I HATE when people tag you in pictures just because they have nothing else to do. I have a friend, and I am sure we all have them, who takes pictures of herself and posts them because they think they are fab. I usually just laugh at her, she really is an attention seeking person. She is the person that loves to talk all about herself, but you know your friends for so long you just let it slide. Well, tonight she tags me in a picture of Como's on her backyard table. What's funny is she knows I don't drink anymore, but I didn't tell her about AA, to be honest I never will, she tells people everything, and I don't need her telling my business to others. The thing is she tagged me and within 20 minutes I got 3 phone calls, and 2 emails about it, the funny thing I was at a meeting and I saw the tag, and was freaking out, the meeting started, so I couldn't do anything. Then after the meeting I have all the phone calls. The thing that pisses me off is I have been struggling with my sobriety, in my head and Comos were one of my drinks until I went to straight vodka. I'm just mad because I have talked to people about how I feel and I think they thought I drank. I haven't called them back, I just don't want to have to defend my sobriety, I'm just pissed at my friend. I know it is stupid, but now if I untag it I have to deal with her bullshit, it's ridiculous.
Just mad, just annoyed, just being an alcoholic I guess!!!
i totally hear you on this one. I hate when people tag me on facebook, mostly b/c i usually look like a fat cow in all photos. i immediately untag myself; don't even think twice about it. you shouldn't either. i think it's an invasion of privacy when people tag you without your permission.
ReplyDeleteinterestingly enough, i temporarily deactivated from FB this weekend. I'm just not into it anymore. weird. my priorities have shifted. I've gotten way more into reading awesome blogs, like this one, Lady. LOVE it!
Im so sorry. I'll admit I was a bit worried but had confidence in you that you werent the one drinking!!
ReplyDeleteUGH!! See!! She sucks!! If you were able to click through her pictures you can see that she takes her own pictures!! It's funny because her husband is very similar to me, and she treats her hubby like my ex husband treated me. She is selfish and self centered. Wants all the attention. I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it does. You know what is really funny. I don't even think she had a party, I think she did a "set up". They never have parties, lol I think it was her day for a photo shoot. I know it will all pass, but it does bother me, it makes me feel like I have to defend myself. I'm still getting by, but I AM SOBER!!
ReplyDeleteI fell ya girl - a friend took a great pic of me, the hubs and another friend in the back of a limo....and of course, "I" was holding the picture-taker's champagne flute (full of champagne, of course) so she could take the pic - now granted, I tagged myself in the pic with initial worries of what my AA peeps and those that know of my alkeehallism would think.....but then I suddenly remembered.....I don't care what others think about me! I know and God knows that I wasn't drinking that champagne and that's all that matters to me! :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya girl!...and I have those same friends that are constantly takin pics of themselves standing in front of a mirror, etc. - W-H-Y???? I just ignore them anymore :)
Remember, what other people think of you is none of your business and, most importantly, what other people think of you isnt who you are!
