If you have a Facebook, you've probably seen certain articulate statuses that say something along the lines of: "uggggggh this is the worst." The poster will get a couple comments that question the person's motivation for this action, asking what is actually wrong, and the poster will not respond.

The poster is knowingly projecting their emotions of frustration into an extremely public space. Yet behind all the images on the screen there is a living breathing human being, knowingly pushing this image of themselves upon others. Facebook statuses are indeed an effortless way to get one's sentiments out to the public. But Facebook should cease to be a further tool for narcissistic behavior in a social environment that is slowly gaining distance from reality.
