I have a 21 yr old niece in London . She emails and calls me . Apparently I'm the cool uncle ( no kids , disposable income so good for Xmas and birthdays and to drag me around the high street when I go there ) . She was hell bent on getting me onto FB . I quizzed her about it . "It's great for keeping in contact with people you don't see all the time" ....o.k. , how many friends do you have on it ? " oh , about 500 " .... and how many of these people have you ever met ? " umm , about 60 I think " ...... yeah , nar I think we will just stick to the phone and email thanks .
I did have an account for a while once to be honest , but it just wasn't for me so I got rid of it .I'm sure it works very well in certain situations . It just seemed incredibly false ! Even though I only had 9 friends on it . Which is totally false ....I'd never be able to convince as many as 9 people to like me 😀


Yeah I have under 30 friends. Someone unfriended me because of my mh issues I should think, which is fine, as I wouldn't want someone bigoted as a friend in real life so wouldn't want one online either. I have only met one of my online friends lol, so they are not 'friends' friends anyway. The number of friends doesn't mean anything tbh.. social media is very shallow.
