I had trouble with Facebook because I was playing the games too much. So, I deleted 950+ of my "friends" needed to get to the highest level of the games I was playing and kept only those relatives and friends I actually knew or had other contact with, true friends. Now I go on facebook maybe once a month as I don't otherwise have contact with some of those people. I find it is a good tool for staying in touch long distance (time or physical distance) if e/snail mail isn't an option.
