10 things we shouldn't post on Facebook anymore
Facebook was born in 2004, in Italy it arrives in 2008 with a boom in registrations. Still disoriented in the face of this news, we begin to try our hand at our first months as social babies. Which then became the first years. Fantastic, as long as this childhood of social media has remained, just like the first years of our life, a blurred memory from which we can choose to eliminate the most embarrassing and shameful moments. Everything changes because in the happy year 2015, Facebook has decided to be our free therapist: year by year, day by day, all but ALL our memories come back to us in visual form with the function Happened today. And since then, almost every day, we find ourselves experiencing embarrassment, like this:
We explain why some Facebook memories are so embarrassing today:

1. Talk about yourself in the third person
"Maria hates all of you today while you are just envious", these were the answers we gave when Facebook asked us: "Maria what are you thinking today?" Except that rereading these states published in the third person today is equivalent to at least 5 minutes of discomfort for having chosen not only to communicate a personal thought, but also to have done it even in the third person.
2. Status with life maxims
The phrases of famous writers, with maxims about life, to make all your contacts reflect and to show that you were / are profound. Or to justify the provocative photo you want to post.
A few years later you tell yourself: why did I have such an embarrassing need for approval? It is not from repost.

3. Whole albums with ALL your vacation photos
Even the photos where you are deformed monsters, you can see pimples, cellulite and stains on your clothes! You have awful hair (but how the hell did you look?) And no, you didn't make a selection. You have published ALL the photos of the holiday even in an album called "Greece 2009". When 100 photos were published in each Album, and there were no filters and there was no concept of selection and you are drunk on your best friend who is kissing you in the next photo.
The only real question that comes to your mind is: why did I have that haircut and no one ever told me anything?
4. Videos of the songs with the enigmatic phrase
The phase: I am deep and I listen to the music. The manifesto of the difficult and tormented personality. But what did you want to prove? You ask yourself, then you go to see the comments of your friends below ... and it is immediately embarrassed for all of them.

5. Anything posted on New Year's Eve
Any yes, as long as it's embarrassing, you post it. The "last one" last year: a picture of you engaging in a rock and roll pinch, utterly bummed, with your ex, while your boyfriend is sitting sulking on a couch. On January 1st you were single.
6. Photos with your ex, who is now married to "another."
When the photos with the exes come out you ask yourself: but today will they have gone out to him too? Will he have rethought me?
So, as a good social addicted, first go and see what profile photo you have now, if you are pretty enough, in case he goes looking for you ... then obviously you go to his profile: he got married. His wife is expecting a baby.
And you, you're checking Facebook's Happened Today. And you remember why you don't post pictures with your boyfriend anymore.

7. The coded statuses with friends, who, however, everyone understood
Initially, we had the convoluted idea that using Facebook was like going down for a ride downtown with friends. Nothing more wrong, you know today. At first it was a spasmodic sharing of everything, without reservations of blows, including the most intimate things, commented in code. Luckily they were in code, yes, but what code?
The only thing missing was the exact name of your lover! What a shame.
8. Statuses with questions to Facebook itself
We did that too, yes. We thought of Facebook as a confidant and asked him questions, obviously embarrassing and humiliating, like: "Why don't you think of me today?" And underneath your sister replied: "Why don't you think about tidying up the room instead?"
A chasm.

9. The posts in which you organized with friends to go out on the bulletin board
The distinction between public and private was not yet clear. That's all. Then read the posts on your wall like: "Why don't you reply to cel?" or "So tonight 20.30 in the center?" and the series of purely organizational responses such as: "My father will accompany me later", "Ok, I love you best friend thanks for existing, see you later", "You're the best, tvb, see you later".
10. "Comment on Likes"
Yes, you did. If they liked you, you had a comment for them. Indeed, a direct Facebook, in which you greet all those who have liked you with the thought of love attached.
You look back and ask yourself: who was that? And it was you. And this is how you understand that yes, Facebook therapy is not enough. Just learn to laugh at it, and aim straight for the future!
