Social Media Basics: Butthurt Birthdays

   Published Date: December 15, 2017

Understanding Facebook settings can form part of the key to a relatively stress-free life.

Facebook doesn’t always tell you about your friends’ birthdays; it depends on your settings. Important not to get childish and butthurt about it!

Aside from that, of course, your friends, relatives, colleagues, random pick-ups, might not have been online.

Or they might be travelling.

Or jet-lagged.

Or working a heavy work-shift, or housework-shift, and barely have room to breathe.

Or still pissed at you for dancing with their cousin at the last hooley.

So, if all else fails…

Try not giving a fuck!
