# 13 - Don't Like Facebook Insanity

Facebook "Friends"

I've never blocked or unfriended anyone on Facebook. I've rolled my eyes and ignored, but I just don't have the time of day to engage in discussions with "friends" who really aren't. 

But today, I responded to an ugly post.

I am "friends" with S. because we each had a parent with Alzheimer's. That's what we have in common. When I saw her angry post railing against Dr. Fauci, I fumed. 

She wrote:

"We have become like cattle being led to the slaughter.. I am fed up with posts about the evil media, pushing Corona Fear. We need to be working together!"

She added one more thing:

S. replied with a message that went on for days. I only shared the last paragraph. I'm done. No need to waste my energy communicating here.

Thankfully I have many friends posting things on Facebook that bring me a little joy, a little good humor and some helpful information, as well. I know how to keep myself well, during these shaky times. I know who lifts me up and who drags me down.

​I'm so glad I don't have to shelter in place with someone who isn't taking this seriously.
