That's exactly right! The first 5-10 times an interesting story is fun to tell but eventually it sinks into your bones and it becomes a performance, even robotic. Better to share the general picture once and discuss the details that are relevant to your mutual friendship and unique to each conversation. Another aspect to fighting the "waste of time"ness or politics nature is to just treat social media like a game / party that teaches you how to be a funnier and better human being. Here is one of my recent posts: >>> In case you haven't noticed I'm trying the whole active social media thing after 5 years of blackout.. I will probably hate it and myself shortly but in the meantime feel free to grab your slapping gloves if I say something dumb or emo... and use them to smack yourself in the face. Seriously I know where your thought was going, why would you slap someone for something they said on the internet? You should be ashamed of yourself, sit in that corner with a dunce hat. I will probably join you in a sec Followed by several days of troll statuses followed by: >>> In case you haven't caught on I'm treating FB like a giant indefinite party and going around trolling every one of you. If that's a problem it's a good thing literally all of my closest friends aren't on here so I don't care if all you beautiful f*ers defriend me (3 already have but 4 added me so shh bb is ok). Oh wait. You're reading this. On FB. I didn't mean to insinuate that you aren't special to me. I uhh.. love you? I'll buy ya flowers (flower emoji) friends? (bear emoji)
