Why Being Friends With Family On Social Media Gets Awkward
- By

You learn more than you want to
Just as your family learns more about you than you want them to, you also learn more about them than you wanted to know. You had no idea what a pervert your uncle was until you saw all of the photos of big-breasted women he posts with sexual innuendo captions. You had no idea that your aunt wrote a blog about her sexual escapades as a divorcee until you found her posts on her Facebook. You didn’t know your cousin was a member of QAnon until you saw some posts in your home feed. Everybody was better off when they stuck to seeing each other at the holidays and discussing the weather and the rising costs of healthcare.
