Think about all those people who DO want to interact with you. Don't waste your energy on the rest.

Hi Farmergirl,
Thank you for your reply. I dunno, I guess the reason all of this bothers me so much is because, like I said above, that things like this feel like a reflection on me in "real" life. Which seems even weirder on paper because, like you said, I do have people that I interact with a lot on FB, people I've known for awhile that I care about and have fun "talking" to. Problem is...sadly, if it wasn't Facebook I was worried about, it'd probably be something else. I feel sometimes that the "I don't care what people think" gene isn't in my DNA
On paper I agree that the whole thing sounds silly. I really don't know why it's getting into my head this much, and I wish I knew the answer to solve it. Well, I DO know the answer, actually--it's what you said!--but getting that to "feel right" in my brain is proving to be harder than I'd thought.
One other thing that may be a factor is the fact that I'm unemployed right now; I was laid off a few months ago. So everything probably seems emotionally MUCH bigger than it normally would be.
