Too many facebook friends linked to anxiety

<< < (2/3) > >>

facebook's recent "wall" layout change meant i had to delete some of my "friends" as i just didn't want to see their stupid faces everytime i logged into facebook.

i don't hate these people; it just made me realise i'm not really their friend.

not really sure why your typical facebooker finds the need to accumulate non-friend friends. are we really that pathetic as a species.

Paul Keith:
Unfortunately this is old news. Now too few friends can also be linked to anxiety as many of the social ad...err app games require inviting friends to well play far enough. Couldn't get past Crime City without inviting your friends to sell you an item for example.

zridling:
Consider what Facebook is for most people and you can see why anxiety occurs: the "face" that most people on Facebook present to the world is fully positive, rarely if ever negative about self. If you throw yourself out there without your actual flaws listed and still can't gain as many friends as 'Becky,' then you're bound to feel down. My gripe with Facebook is that once you go in, you may never come out; you could spend all day there chasing others' daily trivia.

nudone:
I think I must have only boring friends, and I must be very boring too; facebook takes up about 2 minutes of my day - some of that time is often spent "hiding" people's posts from my wall so I don't have to read their drivel ever again.

I think it's becoming clear to me that I'm not a true facebooker. DonationCoder is my home online and facebook is about as relevent as some celebrity gossip from ten years ago.

^ You do more than me.  I don't even pay attention to the wall posts.  I just play games- and pretty much only until I reach the point where I have to recruit people.
