sometimes you just need to vent

so i'm really sick of the whole facebook/twitter thing, because it's replacing that face-to-face communication that is necessary for living. i had a 30-second conversation with someone today, in which i simply asked him to confirm a rumor i'd been hearing. i seriously just asked if it was true. and less than an hour later, i've got people messaging me on facebook that i don't even talk to who are yelling at me for getting in someone else's business, angry texts from my "friends," and people on twitter saying nonfriendly things that are obviously about me (you know i can read that right? its at the top of my news feed.). i honestly don't feel like i did anything wrong, and if someone thinks i did then they should talk to ME about it, not have their friends yell at me all over the internet. i'm sincerely sorry if i upset anyone, but really, this shouldn't be that big of a deal. i didn't say anything mean, i didn't spread any rumors, i didn't make even close to a medium-sized deal about it. so why am i getting all these upsetting messages? its ridiculous--and sad--the way all this social-networking can blow things waaaaay out of proportion, and hurt people who don't even know what they did wrong.
