1. Declarations of love that don't ever need to declared: “I love my daughter sooo much.”
没必要的爱的宣告:“我好爱我的女儿啊。”
Analysis: They feel the need to convince someone like themselves, or perhaps felt a pang of love and instead of telling the beloved, they felt the whole world should be in on it. Once, a friend of mine posted, “I hate my kid. Sorry to offend you, but he's a little bastard and I'm sick of him.” Obviously it was a joke, but 141 people felt the need to tell him what a bad parent he was.
分析:这些人是不是觉得非得让别人知道自己有多喜欢谁,他们可能觉得坚守这份爱有些苦闷,你倒是告诉你爱的人啊,满世界嚷嚷算什么意思啊?有一次我的朋友发了这样一篇:“我讨厌我孩子,如果让你不爽我很抱歉,但他真的是个小混蛋,我太讨厌他了。”很明显他开个玩笑罢了,不过141个家伙在下面留言说他实在是个不称职的父亲……

4. Emotional rant directed at no one in particular, but so specific that everyone knows they've been screwed over: “Never trust people who tell you they will pick you up at 6 just to make you wait an hour. Some people will never be mature enough to be in a relationship, so maybe they should be dumped.”
情绪激动的怒骂,看似不针对某人,其实大家都知道他俩完了:“永远别相信一个说6点钟来接你,结果让你苦等了1个小时的家伙。有些人永远不知道恋爱里什么才叫成熟,也许他们活该被甩。”
