I have 40 something significant people who I care enough about to want the ability to communicate with and not lose all connection with and I keep them as my only Facebook friends. I like knowing they're alive and just a post or comment away. I also use groups to reach out to others with my same struggles. It's not all bad out there, if you have the right friends. Like relatives too. I like watching my friends children grow up. Facebook is usually full of shallow people because honestly that's what the world is made of.
