How many Facebook friends do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

I thought I had just over 200, but it's actually 270...

Less than 200 and it nags you to get more. Culling people who you don't want seeing everything you post, as I have in the past, causes difficulties if they come into your life again.

I have 63, but honestly, I only follow about a dozen of them. The majority of my FB "friends" are people who are also in the radio control hobby, and have friended me because we've either traded RC's or have bought and sold from each other. A couple of my FB friends found me through the St. Louis ASAN facebook page.

Social media is interesting. After I posted my first blog video on youtube about my suspicions that I was on the spectrum, two of my FB friends messaged me about it. One said he has an aspergers Dx and he totally related to what I said in the video, and another person who said he has also suspected for a long time that he may be on the spectrum.

I've unfollowed a lot of them because it's way too many people for me to keep track of.

Over 2 years in and I have 60-70, I have over 20 requests from people I don't know. I am restrictive on who I friend.

250, most of which are just former classmates

No facebook for me, I hate it.

Zero, I don't have a FaceBook account.

116 to be exact. Some of the are people I knew in high school more than 40 years ago that I don't really remember. But I guess they remember me. Some of them I knew only in passing at some job I had years ago. A few of them were real friends of mine - that I was once very close to - but have not heard from in many years.

I was forced on facebook by a pushy female neighbor of mine but I'm never interested to go on it and I always delete the emails I get from there straight away, so no! I guess you could say I don't do facebook. I DON'T!! ! NO INTEREST!! !

Facebook is set up for social stuff and I'm not social. I've been told by an old 'school buddy' that I don't 'mingle' enough. F&#k that. I'm not into mingling and that's why I'm not interested in facebook.

*** Because the only company I crave is my own ***

I'm just not a social creature. I am an introvert and I've always preferred my own company. I'm lucky I like myself. Apparently a lot of people can't be alone for too long because they don't like spending time with themselves but I do. In fact, I prefer to spend time with myself than I do with anyone else and hence, no need for facebook or any of that other social crap. I don't like to socialise and I make no bones about that! It's just a given. A fact. "Solitude" sums it up perfectly!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!1

I have 65. Most are family, work colleagues and friends what I know in real life. I'm on Facebook a lot, but I am considering deleting my account because nobody seems to talk to me on it any more. Well my older relatives don't go on it that much, only to post pictures if they've been somewhere. My work colleagues talk to me OK at work but don't seem to like or comment on my stuff on Facebook any more for some reason. They probably have me in their ''don't show up on their news feed'' list. And I sometimes get likes and comments from my friends, but not as many as everyone else does. Then it makes me look unpopular whenever I post something, and it just feels like I'm talking to myself all the time. I just want to come off Facebook. I think I will be happier then.

About 200 or so. Many who are friends of actual friends. Some who are friends of friends of actual friends.

Some who are distant relatives whom I don't know personally. Not that many people I actually KNOW.

You are a social creature, aren't you?! You're lucky. Most of WP lives in the USA and you can meet up but here in Australia, I can't seem to find any AS people to meet and all I've ever wanted to do since I was diagnosed (the second time) was to meet another person with Asperger's Syndrome.

I have no friends on facebook or in real life and that suits me just fine but in real life, I have two guys who call me a friend but I feel stifled when they choose to come around. I can't be rude and say "Go away!" like I'd like to do (in a nice way) but I just have no need for human companionship whatsoever! I don't need it! I don't crave it. I don't understand people who do crave/need human companionship. I see THAT as a sickness. A weakness.

People shun loners because we don't conform to society's idea of how we should be and fit in. Of how we should live our lives but I have the right to live my life however I choose to live it and I choose to live it without the company of any human being. I'm happiest that way. I want to go back to my home planet. I'm home sick!

I have 68, and many of them are Aspies. I'm not very active, and I only accept people I know (online or irl) as friends. Originally I got an account because my daughter wanted one so I could help her.

I had zero friends on my Facebook. For reasons like these and many others, I deactivated it several months ago.

I use Twitter now!

I've deleted my facebook account today, because nobody seems to talk to me on it any more, as I mentioned in an earlier post. I started getting annoyed because even a person with moderate Autism gets more likes and comments than me.

The facebook will delete completely within 2 weeks, which is going to be hard for me to resist logging back in. So you guys have to help me to beat my facebook addiction, for about 6-8 days. It usually takes me 6-8 days to get used to a loss.

"Social creature" I'm not.

Remember: I stated that I only "know" a few people. I'm hardly ever on Facebook, actually.

When I was in my 20's, I lived in an apartment with a mattress on the floor, no TV, and sheets for curtains. Very hermit-like.

I was REALLY into Jeremiah Johnson and his mode of living.

I still have remnants of that philosophy in me to this day.

Isn't it funny how we're both into Jeremiah Johnson and his way of living. I did tell you about that, didn't I?
