You ever had one of those days where everything’s going great. The world is your oyster, nothing can bring you down.
Then you make the mistake of visiting Facebook and some person you haven’t seen in years has decided to unleash that horrible thing that happened to them…in great detail. Good mood ruined.
First of all, you should know better. Facebook very rarely improves moods.
Second of all, you can mute those people very easily. It’s on the little arrow menu on the right side of the post.

That is directly from the mouths of a team of social scientists from Cornell University, the University of California, San Francisco and Facebook. So it must be true.
Your emotional releases are contagious, and while we’re sorry/glad that you’re feeling any of the following:
For goodness sake, feel free to spread your awesome, but perhaps consider sharing your meh, sick, irritated, angry, and bored for face-to-face sharing. I’ll put that in Internet terms for you. Those are IRL (in real life) interactions. Yes, you’re irritated will probably still spread to your friends, but at least you took the time to share it in person.
