I have a whopping 66 "friends" on FB. There may be 12-15 that post on a regular basis. Mostly friends (online friends but I've had lunch with about 18 of them, they are from a local forum) but a good portion of my contacts are long lost cousins, cousins of DH's or childhood friends that I haven't seen in 35 years. We don't really communicate. We might comment here and there... But it's nice to know that even after so many years I still have something on the other end of the line. and I've discovered that my Family Tree is more of a Rainbow! And NONE of them know I'm bipolar. When I get too posty I try to step away from the computer before I make myself look stupid to someone who wouldn't understand what was going on.... not so much on the local forum. They just think I'm flaky...maybe even funny from time to time. But I'm shy...scared I'll look stupid. If I had a dime for how much I've deleted as opposed to how much I've actually posted I'd be rich!
