Why Didn’t You Guys Like My Facebook Status?

I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now.


I don’t understand. I spent so long working on that status, why didn’t you like it? I carefully curated it, picking words and phrases from various articles. Taking other people’s valid experiences, stripping them of all meaning, and watering them down so that me and my friends could relate. How could you not like it?

Activism isn’t easy, okay. I just hoped that I could prove myself to everyone and show you that I care. Why don’t you appreciate me? I’m doing so much hard work for you!

It’s just your tepid reaction that bothered me the most. It was honestly worse than the actual hateful and abusive comments people left (which I ignored), or the wonderful ass kissing, worshiping comments my close friends left (which I liked and then ignored).

I just want people to like me. I don’t care that my status got 76 likes and 23 hearts. No one likes me. I just want to be an activist. I just want to get invited to those secret activist meetings where we use activism as a front to talk shit about people we don’t like.

You keep telling me that I’m wrong, and that I do everything I spoke out against. Well actually, you’re wrong. I’m just a lot smarter than you and you don’t understand. I’m not being rude, just honest. Why don’t people like me?
