Why Being Friends With Family On Social Media Gets Awkward
They pick political fights
You can often find yourself having to break up a comment fight between your family and friends on social media over a political issue. Somehow, your cousin who leans very much to the opposite end of politics as yourself thought it would be a good idea to befriend you, knowing damn well what side you lean to and what you might post. And then, he makes his comments – that are very polarizing – on your political posts. And then your friends call him an idiot, trying to come to your rescue. And now you have to say, with much embarrassment, that that “idiot” is your family.
