Wow...you really do overthink things. LOL

I'm a member of Facebook and Myspace and truthfully I like Myspace a little better, but I admit that I mostly have added people I already knew, and less of those who just out of nowhere wanted to be "buds" I am picky in that aspect. I have 69 friends there, and have been at Myspace for 5 years.

As for Facebook, I recently joined there, and have added a LOT of people from high school. I guess curiosity gets the better of me, and perhaps, being the geek that I was in those days (who am I kidding, I am still kind of a geek...LOL) I guess my immature ways want to see what all of the "proud crowd" look like now.
It's petty...it's even kind of mean, but the truth is...I look better AND younger than most of the people who graduated with me. Even the pretty, popular girls. LOL

It's wrong, I know...but it does have an element of sick pleasure.

I add anyone who requests me there from high school, and the early
90's people I used to hang with because the nicer side of me also doesn't want to hurt anyones feelings. I figure, I log on to facebook about once a week at the very most, and I don't have to interact with them if I don't choose to at all. The beauty of the net, I suppose.

I am not a friend whore...the people I don't know...I don't add, and the people I despised in High school...I blow off.

I don't sweat it either way.

Like I said...the beauty of the internet.

:o)

I bit the bullet and "friended" the two people I actually knew and ignored the rest. If it gets out of control, I can always quit Facebook entirely.

I agree with Laura, you have such control over the contact and can choose to pretty much ignore the person, even after "friending" him/her, that I would only not-friend someone that I didn't know at all or someone that I actively disliked.

The thing with facebook is that its not face to face. You can accept their friend requests, find out what they're up to and be done with it. They're not coming to dinner unless you decide that is the best option. It seems like you have a pretty nice life, you shouldn't be worried about keeping up with the Joneses or who is doing what. Everyone has their own calling.
