Facebook Tourette's
1. Inability to refrain from posting, esp. irrelevant or embarrassing details, to Facebook or similar social media.

There are all sorts of different types of Facebook users, ranging from the heavy, daily users to the people who log on every six months when they remember. I’m afraid to say it, but it’s the frequent users who are the worst culprits for what I call ‘Facebook-Tourettes’. The users who simply cannot resist broadcasting their entire waking life across it – like syphilis spreads across bollocks.

But, facebook really isn't good for me, especially with my OCD, and other personality issues. So i'm kind of avoiding it now. Made myself a promise not to post anymore on it (unless something really amazing happened and i want to share it with everyone, and i'm 100% sure it's not going to cause people to say nasty things to me)

i described it as 'facebook tourettes' . i can't help posting opinionated/offensive/personal/confrontational (can't think of the word - something that you know is going to get a reaction) stuff.

So anyway I decided to check the facebook comments on the fanpage to see what witty deconstruction and debate the fans are having amonst themselves only to find a slew of “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SAM WINCHEST” and even more strange… just people yelling outta name like someone with facebook tourettes… or more adeptly some socially depraved infacts asking for a biscuit named dean… and they didn’t even say please.

...if I were an employer, and saw a grown woman developing facebook-tourettes, I would probably avoid hiring them to begin with. I simply cannot get over how random and ridiculous that status was. She was pretty much asking for e-trash talking.

Take those individuals who vomit up minutiae via status updates every 15 minutes. "Just eaten a yummy tuna wrap!!! LOL!!"

Facebook Tourettes is not a condition, it does not exist, so unless these authors genuinely believe someone cares a flying bollock, why not be honest and shout,

"Hey everyone, look at me! Please look at me!"

Ever noticed how some of your friends whom appear normal in person have developed the tendency to flip out and do a complete 180 on their Facebook status's with the likes of "I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBERS NEW SONG!!" or effing & blinding left right & centre??? Well then it’s highly likely that your dear friend (Hypothetically I’m going to call your friend Jane) is part of the heavily contagious condition affecting hundreds of thousands of users of online social web sites and media applications. A condition I’ve named as Facebook Tourettes.

LOL! Atheists, why do you think you know me, you don't even know which religion I am..?

I added the LOL! because some of you said you missed it :)

anyway, why? and which religious belief do I really follow? ?-?

Additional Details:

LOL! You say you don't care, but then when I answer your questions you get PO'd because you can't tell whether I'm a troll or not. (I am not)

then, in the comments:

BrokenEye, Righteous Sinner

No, you added LOL! because you've got an annoying verbal tick on account of your Facebook-tourettes

And yes, we know you're a troll. And we also know you're not very good at it.

Occasionally I have caught myself thinking of uploading inappropriate Facebook status updates and then I acknowledge my moment of Facebook Tourettes and stop.

soundlike your in stage 48 ie they have you in a mollified condition whereby you are two steps closer to ending up in a self huggy coat- that THEY will deliver immediately no strings attached (except for the ones on the coat). This is the time you need to be sparky. I always find that a session of facebook tourettes works wonders & gets you back in form for the next round.

I have my Steampunk stall in Shebeen Chic ,Georges St this Sunday ..just sayin' in case you & Mrs TFE are around :)
