On my facebook right now, it tells me I have 347 friends.

 

Of those I probably regularly interact/contact 60 - 70 of them in a given month.

so you're less popular than me eh

 

nah in actuality I'd say you're way better off, quality > quantity haha. as in, I've become acquainted with a LOT of people, but I only regularly interact/contact with maybe a dozen or less. There are people who I talk to once in a while (like you; sometimes we talk a lot, other times we get busy and don't talk for a week or two), people I talk to once in a long while (e.g. old friends/people I don't see or whatever, my brother(s) since we're not that close...), and people I talk to in group chats (if you can really call that talking, lol). Group chats aside, I'd say I got around 10 people for the "once in a while" category and another 10 in the category after that, so really it's not a lot.

 

Sadly it seems like I'm usually the only one really trying to keep up relationships, with some exceptions, lol. And even I get busy/slack off and whatnot: I mean, it's hard to text someone when I don't have a reason to, haha. I've got my own things to do. XP

None of my facebook friends are people I know on the internet.

 

Oh, wait, never mind. I have 2 internet friends on facebook lol. The rest are church people and family that I honestly don't know much about. Oh, and a couple of friends who befriended me after my mom died. I guess the real thing is that my mom taught me to be super paranoid on the internet, and never give out my location/real name etc. I still hold true to that, and only very close internet friends get to be facebook friends with me, lol.

 

I don't like facebook much, though. I browse it when I get bored. It could be a very handy tool for keeping you in touch with friends and such, but usually it's just full of pictures and memes that try to guilt you into sharing. "THIS BABY WILL DIE IF YOU DO NOT SHARE THIS POST" "IF YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND, YOU WILL LIKE AND SHARE THIS POST" "IF YOU SHARE THIS POST, YOU WILL FIND $100 IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES" or the best one: "95% of people don't care about sick starving children. If you are one of that 5% that cares, share this post. If you are part of that 95%, continue scrolling."

 

If I agree with an image, I will freaking share it on my own will, WITHOUT you telling me to. Thank you very much.

 

Facebook is also horribly organized. Just try and find that one post you saw the other day. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. It was better back when we had the choice of having all the posts organized by DATE. Nowadays, they've removed that and it's just "most popular." Hmph.

oh man, those posts

 

those chain posts/e-mails/whatever are sooo annoying lol. been a thing for a while though, whether it's an e-mail or text or whatever.

 

and yeah, Facebook organization isn't great, but thankfully I don't really use it anymore, lol. Actually, I finally finished the slow process of removing all the activity from my feed, so my timeline is like, completely blank. All you have is super basic info and an old photo, lol. I'm thinking of finally using it just to add people I know IRL as friends so I have some kind of contact with them if I ever feel like it or whatever, but yeah, in general Facebook is kinda >___>' for me lol

lemme see here.... 4. 1 IRL friend and the others are people I've known online for like 7 years.
