One of my friends currently lists 749 friends... She is always chatting with them, remembering important times in their lives and the like... I have been by her side for over 10 years now and have fallen by the wayside.
I have learned that those relationships are easier for her. They are more shallow and safer than the relationship she and I had. I called her out when she started smoking again after 8 years, they just said hurry back from your smoke break. Now I am someone she calls when she is in need... When she has spent $100's of dollars to start smoking after 8 years but has no money for her kids for christmas...
So... all those connections may not be as they seem. Just a thought.
