vaguebooking

Ambiguous attention-seeking posts

Vaguebooking is posting deliberately vague or cryptic messages on social media—hints at drama, distress, or big news without providing details: Some people are just SO fake, Well, that was the worst day ever.

The term combines "vague" with "Facebook," where the practice became notorious.

Vaguebooking typically seeks attention or sympathy while avoiding direct communication: Ugh, I can't even right now.
