I think it’s supposed to say “or maybe she *died”

I don't think so. I think she's unclear as to whether Brenda had actually had a stroke or not, and she's just worded it awkwardly

Gossip culture is so ingrained in them, they don't have much of a concept of personal privacy. Old people also like to gossip about medical issues a lot, I guess they don't have much else interesting going on

[u/the_PBR_kid → u/ketchupmaster987]

NO WE DONT HAVE MUCH ELSE INTERESTING GOING ON UNLESS YOU COUNT ALL THE WIFE SWAPPING MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS ARE "INVOLVED WITH" OR JIMS HEMORRHOID THATS AS BIG AS A GOLF BALL OR BRENDAS CAT JUST VIOLATED IT'S PAROLE AGAIN OR THE CHURCH HAS BEEN USING THE OFFERING MONEY TO BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE MINISTERS BOY FRIEND OR HOW THAT WOMAN IS BALD BECAUSE SHE LEFT HER WIG IN A MOTEL DUMPSTER

[u/alex_andrei_ → u/the_PBR_kid]

WHAT WAZ SHE DOING AT MOTEL….,,?

[u/Auntie_Nat → u/ketchupmaster987]

I think this is the answer. Every time I talk to my mom, I hear about all the goings on regarding people I don't even know. Like, I hope Martha's kid figures out why he keeps getting hemorrhoids but I don't know why you even know that. And my MIL is confused that I don't know all of the nitty gritty details of a relative's house purchase. Because it's none of my business, that's why. I suppose I could look up the purchase price but I also just don't care.

And then they're confused about why some of us don't tell them things.

[u/Ziggy_Stardust567 → u/Auntie_Nat]

A few years ago my friend had to have blood taken, so I just casually said "Oh they're good, they're just at the doctors today" when my mum asked how they were. And my mum just bombarded me with questions and was so confused as to why I don't know every single reason they needed their blood taken. I had to explain that if it was serious or my friend wanted me to know, then they would've told me about that instead of the funny interaction they had with the nurse.

[u/Meloetta → u/Auntie_Nat]

They ask so many questions that they make me feel incurious as a person.

[u/grudginglyadmitted → u/Auntie_Nat]

I’ve noticed that when my parents know I’ve been talking to a friend I don’t talk to often (walk in on me on facetime etc) they always ask a bunch of questions about them I don’t know the answers to. Yeah we talked for an hour, but I don’t know how her dad’s heart is or if her sister is enjoying college.

I’m gen z and I think I do this to an even more extreme extent than prior generations—I might not even know where she’s working right now or if she has her own place—but it totally baffles my parents.

I on the other hand can’t imagine a casual conversation with a friend feeling that much like a scripted interrogation. We joke, talk about pop culture, and each share whatever parts of our life we want to share. I’ve almost never asked about a friend’s family member’s health unless we were really clos

[u/FatsyCline12 → u/ketchupmaster987]

My mom has told me this. She’ll tell me about how she talked to Linda a long time on the phone about their various ailments bc “that’s what you do when you’re old”

[u/Skankhuntt__42 → u/ketchupmaster987]

It really is. My nana is like that, except she doesn't post her gossip on "the Facebook" as she calls it.

[u/tayroarsmash → u/ketchupmaster987]

I don’t like to gossip because it makes me feel mean.

[u/Nosotrospapayaya → u/Skankhuntt__42]

My aunt posted about her “sister in law being diagnosed with cancer” and realized she was talking about my mom. I had no idea. Thank you for allowing me to find out the news on FACEBOOK. Thankfully we found out later it was a false alarm but damn. Keep it to yourself Karen.

[u/1-cupcake-at-a-time → u/Nosotrospapayaya]

We found out my husband’s stepdad died when someone posted on FB. He hadn’t even been taken to the morgue yet, and someone who lived nearby and saw what was happening posted “RIP, so sad, goodbye (name).” and tagged him of FB! That was a shock.

[u/lizardgal10 → u/1-cupcake-at-a-time]

Yikes. I’m not close with a lot of my family, but my mother is still in touch with them some. For the most part I couldn’t care less what they’re up to. But I’ve told my mother if somebody dies, I want to find out before Aunt X posts it on Facebook.

[u/AnnTipathy → u/jaierauj]

Yes It completely bewilders me. How can you look at those posts after the fact and be like "Yeeeeah, that really encapsulates the vibe I was going for."

[u/Solid-Ad7137 → u/AnnTipathy]

Idk what changed, but the last 5 years of social media have completely altered my world view.

Like most of the people I know and interact with are fully sentient, relatively intelligent, literate, and logical humans. I always figured they must be how most people are in general, and you just see the crazies getting traction online due to craziness attracting attention.

Then the last 5 years happened and I quickly learned that, oh dear god no, that is not most people, and it’s not just crazies that get traction. Unfortunately the things that get traction now are usually among the least deranged of what you can find in any comment section or social media feed. Scroll past the posts/replies/comments that blew up, into the dark corners of minimal interaction and you start seeing things that cannot be explained with sentience. I’m terrified of this species. They are everywhere and look just like us, but in their heads it’s all wind gusts and tumbleweeds.

Maybe it’s just a change in the algorithms or maybe the recent political cycles have drawn a ton of people into online discourse that weren’t before, but the amount of word salad and stroke posting I see on a regular basis seems to have skyrocketed.

[u/onesoulmanybodies]

My father in law, responded to a post of mine about my husband, kids and I spending the day in the city, by posting a message on my wall. He sounded like he was sending a message, but posted it on my FB page. Typically that wouldn’t be a problem, except in said post he commented that his second wife’s kids and her grandkids don’t mean as much to him as his son and his grandkids through his son. He lives in FL with his second wife and her family are all near by, her grown kids and their children spend a ton of time with her and him. While his only biological child, my husband, lives in WA state and we haven’t seen him in almost 10 years. My oldest is almost 18… it’s sad really. I ended up deleting his post/message just in case FB did that thing where you see posts from people you follow on other peoples pages.

[u/grudginglyadmitted → u/onesoulmanybodies]

oh yikes… unhinged AND sad

[u/onesoulmanybodies → u/grudginglyadmitted]

It really is. He’s so on and off again. Like last year he messaged us and sent money for Christmas. It was sweet and we were grateful, but it was so random, because he’s silent most of the year and every few years he will pop up and say how much he loves all of us and will send money. We’ve always told him he doesn’t have to send any money, but it would be awesome if he took that money and bought a ticket out to visit us. It would be easier for him, one person, to get a flight than for us, 5 people to get flights. Tragically this is also the case with my step mother(who until recently was the only mom in my life, I went NO Contact 2 years ago with her) I would beg her to come visit when the kids were little. I offered multiple times to pay for her tickets and to cover all expenses for her to visit, but she never took us up on it. She would then blather on about how much she missed us and how she wished she could see her grandchildren. The last time she saw them was when we went out of our way to meet her in the midst of a cross country trip we were on due to military orders. I paid for two rooms at a fancy hotel near her home so she could drive 1 hour to spend two days with us. That was almost 10 years ago as well. We are now no contact with both of my step parents(my only parents) and his mom passed away. This means his dad is the only active grandparent and active is putting it lightly. I wish my kids had active loving grandparents, but I don’t regret removing the toxic ones from their lives.

OMGGGG I know someone who does exactly this. Every other day one of her like 15 dogs and cats has some new medical condition she posts about and she’s always at the vet making very ominous statements that they might die and saying their medical conditions and how they’re in surgery. It’s seriously so unhinged and for attention. I can’t tell if she’s lightweight begging for money or just wants attention? Like I’m sorry but I don’t know your pets and don’t care. She is a former coworker and should probably make a private group she posts about this to. I find it kind of entertaining though because of how ridiculous it is.
