I have like 2 or 3 frineds that always post deep down personal info and problems in their status.

Why do they always do taht. You know one like this?

People try to be more deep on facebook. Sometimes I wonder if my friends are closet philosophers.

I dunno, pretty much everyone I know does that. I personally like eavesdropping and getting details into people's lives, so facebook is great.

Maybe they thing people care about their problems.

I think they just crave attention really. I rarely say anything about myself, but others seem to want to let the world know what they just ate. Unfortunately when I do post personal things, it goes horribly wrong. Someone took a 'who is the boy of your dreams' quiz, and, being bored and curious, I thought I might as well take it too. I did, but I accidentally clicked publish without realising, and was swamped with messages questioning my sexuality, and whether I really do fancy Zac Efron 8)

They post whats on their mind, I do that sometimes.

They are idiots/attention seekers.

I wish I had seen the facebooker who posted nude pics of herself before they caught it. :(GAMESHARQ

I'm going to assume its because most people want attention or pity.

While most are probably doing it to get attention I'm sure some do it so only their friends see it. Not everyone has friends list that include people they actually do not know. Plus, people posting personal FB status is the same as people on this forum creating topics asking for girl/boyfriend help and other personal stuff.

From my own observations, I think it's because they crave attention. -Sun_Tzu-

Maybe for attention

I doubt it. Many people I know (it's women especially, and it's usually concerning relationships) do the same, and so do they with their "personal message" on MSN. The thing is, what they say isn't really "deep". It's cliche and uninspired, borderline idiotic-spew/pseudophilosophy nonsense. I'm pretty sure they don't think of it themselves half the time.

They want the attention maybe. I can understand if only a select few can read what they post, but if it's there for everyone to see... I don't see the point.
