Someone in my boyfriend's family posted something like that. It might have nothing at all to do with me. But I actually got depressed today wondering if it was directed at me.
My boyfriend's daughter is not close with me. There were some hard feelings in the past. She has apologized. I show him things on facebook and post his comments for them to see. Just innocent things about him thinking his grand kids are cute, etc. Seldom do I make comments on his kids facebook pages. When I have put a message to his daughter, about her father's health, she barely acknowledges it. So I post little. Now I see this thing on her wall and I wonder.
Maybe I'm paranoid.

Paranoia is very easily induced on social media and FB is one of the sites imo that is responsible for a lot of breakups of friendships, and more intimate relationships due to it's nature. it's become a place to quickly slam or praise people without having to deal directly with them. Your paranoia if we are to call it that, is not unique to your experience. people everyday see posts and wonder things like "was that at me?"
personally I don't use it at all anymore but I also know prior to leaving fb, I found ways to ignore people that for any reason I thought posted things I didn't want to see. you can do it without even unfriending people but choosing not to follow them. It removes their posts from your feed so it's not in your face but you can still see their posts by going to their page. Just a suggestion.
