  Hello @asrbuk,

  I’m sorry to hear you’re having troubles in sharing your content on Facebook!
  WordPress.com have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks choose to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. They really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  To get more chances of having an image displayed on the sharing content, I’d suggest you to embed at least one image in every post and/or attaching a feature image. This way, you can ‘suggest’ Facebook to use that image.
  Here’s a quick guide to how include images to post or pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
  While here’s how to put featured images: https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/.

  Let me know if all is clear. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Cheers!
