3 Friend Requests now that we have this cool friend request thing. :D
So, how many friends do you have on your Myspace/Facebook/Xanga/Whatever? Do you think it's because of your own popularity, or do you desperately search for friends across the intarwebz?
Discuss now.
>>> zero friends, Im Mr popularity.
I have seventeen best friends accross the real world. I win!
Lots. And the kicker is, I don't use them. Only made them for learning about them.
Very few, and even fewer that I actually pay any mind to.
Haha, on myspace its like 160 from school! xD A few from online..o_o
Not even Tom wants to be my friend ;_;
I'm so vain I must have more friends I never talk to just to stroke my ego.
In terms of fer srs friends, I have a hand full, perhaps. I am so picky. I have 3 true-blue friends that I can trust my life with, one of which being Huxley.
In terms of LJ/myspace/facebook stuff:
LJ: 115
Myspace: 106
Facebook: 170
As for IRL friends, none, really. The people here suck.
As for online:
LJ: 17
MySpace: I don't know and I don't care anymore.
I have plenty of e-pals and they mean the world to me. I'm not the kind of person who adds a crapload of people on their MySpace merely to say they have X amount of friends, that's pretty damn stupid if you ask me. I'm picky about who I make friends with though. As for EoFF, I've added quite a few people, but I have only a few that I'm very close to.
On LJ and EoFF, there's probably 20/25 people that actually mean something to me or have affected me in some way. :jess:
On Myspace I have like 500 friends or something, but I hardly know most! I have about 9 best friends, and 3 or 4 close friends, irl. I have lots of associates though.
You're all e-whores.
I don't spend a lot of time on myspace, but for some reason I have some anxiety concerning "friends." I'm ok with someone thinking we are friends in real life, because it isn't broadcast electronically through the world (and possibly into space), but when I am called upon to approve or deny a friend request, it suddenly becomes very "real" and I'm not sure what to do. Are we really friends? If so, are we ready to be officially joined in the union of "myspace friendship"? What are the societal expectations once we have taken that step forward in our internet relationship? A shoulder to lean on when :-( or a pal with whom to "lol"? Is it enough that I have confirmed our friendship electronically or will it be taken as an intentional slight if you don't make it into my top 8? These are things that keep me up at night.
Even worse, when a stranger reaches out to me, seeking friendship... I'm flattered, truly I am, but I fear our relationship will be entirely superficial. How can a lifetime of camaraderie be based on a mutual interest in dream theater? As firm a foundation as dream theater is, it just isn't enough. How can one approve and move forward with that? I don't know if I am what you are looking for... what if I hurt you?
If I have denied your friend request, be strong. I did it for you.
apparently I have 213 facebook friends. I try not to add people I don't know unless I think that I will get to know them through facebook, or people from the internet that I don't know. And if still don't know someone after so long, they go away. Or if I wish i didn't know them. Or if they try to put me on a million applications. whatever.
I don't really count. I cut a bunch of people from my Facebook friends list because I realized that I didn't want to keep in contact with them when we were in high school, so why would I want to keep in contact with them now?
