I posted a meme on my Facebook wall that has a picture of a "bloody" scene (like one you'd see from a B-grade horror flick) and the words "You go on a killing spree. What song is playing?"
I'm fond of somewhat freaky grade-B types of thrillers. I also like well-done psychological thrillers (ala Hitchcock). I didn't even think twice about the meme - another friend (who has a wonderful, naughty sense of humor) posted it; I "borrowed" it from her because I thought it was creative and amusing.
So a friend of mine (a woman I've known for many years...I grew up with her husband) messaged me and said she was shocked that I'd post such a thing on Facebook.
I am FURIOUS! I want to say, Hey...you don't like what's on my wall, don't effin' look at it! But I don't want to cause a rift, so I'll eat it and delete the meme (and the replies).
This happens to me so often in life. I feel like the second I step out of being "the good girl" people condemn me for it. My gut feeling is that the people who can't handle stuff have issues that THEY are dealing with, so why do I have to passively shrink away to accommodate them? But then I say to myself, maybe I'm in the wrong...maybe I'm being inappropriate and don't recognize it.
Thoughts?
