He hasn't really disappeared on anyone. I mean, he's asked for space from me on occasion, but he tells me first. I've had people disappear on me in the past though suddenly enough that I thought they were a hallucination. I guess I don't understand how love works. It doesn't just turn on and off like a light right? I know there are no guarantees, but if you were with someone who you loved and you felt they "completed you", knows "what to do when you're in a bad mood", and is "someone you can truly be yourself with", you don't just suddenly throw that away right? I certainly have imperfections too, but I'm working on them in therapy. I'm just worried that because of my personality, people can easily use and abuse me and here's someone who does neither. I don't want to lose that.

@rcat
If I did go back on Facebook, I wouldn't add people I didn't know in real life. Although I do have issues with saying no, so I might add someone because I felt pressured to.

@Permacultural
I completely agree. Except in my case, even if I ask people to e-mail me (or my original artist page admin does) they will either be annoyed or ignore my request and keep messaging my artist page. At least I'm admin on there so I can get messages now, but I've missed important messages because people refuse to take the extra few seconds to e-mail me.

I also need the quantity right now...for networking purposes.

@Webgoji
I would like to do it that way but I don't know how else to develop friendships with people who socialize via Facebook. Neither one of us has significant exes so that isn't an issue.

@divine
I wish I could be like you, but I struggle immensely with developing friendships. Everyone seems to communicate that way. I don't have time to go to other groups outside of school right now. I need to be creating friendships with my peers because it's important for networking. People get their friends gigs. If I manage to connect with someone and become close friends with them, that's good too, but if I move in the future I might end up losing them.

@Specialneedsmom
I do e-mail/text my boyfriend several times a day, but he's my best friend. I wouldn't talk to anyone else that much unless they were my best friend. But I'm afraid that's what's expected of all friendships and I don't have that kind of time either.

@lovethesun
Yeah, I feel like I'm not in the loop because I'm not on there. But in the past when I was on there I always felt like a loser. And since I still feel that way, I don't want Facebook reinforcing that.
