I can totally understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately, people do tend to use FB as a means to show others what a wonderful time/relationship/food etc they have - and this can be very insensitive to others who are not so fortunate. Sadly, I also think that people who "overdo" this can be very needy people looking for appreciation/admiration/gratification from those who look at their posts and post lovely comments in return. I find it very sad that we live in a world which, for many, is played out on FB. I do think that your sister is being somewhat insensitive - however, I think that the best thing to do is to unfollow her posts for a while - someone above has explained how to do this if you are unsure. Perhaps when she is home, and the time is right, you could say gently how you feel (depends I suppose on the relationship you have with her). I unfortunately do not have that type of relationship and have simply chosen to unfollow. I am so sorry that you are experiencing difficult times, and I send my very best wishes to you both.
