Strangely, I don't miss the "friends" part though... Out of about 50, I can count on one hand the ones I could call in an emergency and know they'd be there... Again, that part about being so connected yet feeling simultaneously disconnected at the same time... I mean what's the point in having all those "friends" if you can't count on them when it matters most?!

Ah, well...

I've already decided that if I do backslide like a Sunday Morning Preacher on a Rowdy Saturday Night, that I will not be soliciting or accepting any friend's request this go round and will just participate in the pages that interest me and bring me joy...

Here's hoping to make it through Day #4 though...

Wish Me Luck!

This is me! I mean, i use other sites than Facebook, but this is exactly the issue. Not really actual friends. It's all an illusion. And then people follow me and i dont always want to follow them back or continue to follow them, but i have that guilt. Also, I've never had anything go "viral" and so many of my "friends" do. And then following celebs is a mixed thing because on one hand, they can be interesting and share news, but on the other hand, they get all the attention and I am again reminded of how i mean nothing, to them or anyone.

So yeah. I dunno. And someone in one of these threads mentioned gow it is bad when you are in a mood. I was in one yesterday and probably said some stupid stuff. I can't just step back. I always have to like make it obvious I'm going through something.

I guess i am looking through these threads because i am addicted to people and attention. God! I hate the connotation of "attention seeking behavior" as negative, because doesn't everyone want attention at times? Yes, i may be addicted to it, but that doesn't mean i am not suffering as much or more than those who have to listen to me! Maybe i should make my own thread on this subject. But i think I've spent enough time here already tonight.
