I tried the tier/group thing and it totally backfired!!

So I am proudly 1/4 Swedish (“Swedish”?). I did 23 and Me. Well, I found out that we are not as Swedish as we thought!! So I post in my “Close Friends” group about how do I tell my mother, why did I wear those Nordic sweaters all those years, etc. All in a joking way!!

So one of my friends complains to my sister, “What was with Inky’s post? Why is she not proud of being Swedish??”

I posted nothing about NOT being proud of being Swedish, AND now Sister is all prickly because it looks like I deleted a choice post that she couldn’t read or am now a FaceBook wizard.

I told her, “Oh, I have a Friend List, a Family List, a Gaming List, a Neighborhood List, etc.”

She gets MAD that She’s on the Family List!!! Like I lumped her with Them (see original post above).

So I decided to be Vanilla White, Rated G, BBC News tone to Everyone. Because the potential Fall Out is too great for those who KNOW they’re excluded (even from PTA news).

People want to see Everything. And I mean Everything. Take that as a compliment I guess??

My other option is to go silent for a Year, delete everyone at once and start over. No one can be mad if they see I only have two Friends and never post!!
