Apparently this movement is catching on. Do any of you Aspie's fear you might wake up and no longer have any Facebook friends? I don't have real life friends. I merely have people I work with, people I went to school with, or people who share my blood. The last social situation..not at work, or for a family member...that was just to hang out for me was about 8 months ago me and an old highschool friend (I use the term lightly) and a few of his friends went to see a movie..

No I am not worried. If anyone does this to me they aren't my friend anyway so they can b****r off. Real friends wouldn't do this, especially if they know you are a sensitive person (I am UBER sensitive!)

I'm not too worried.I only have people i know in real lif on FB. It's such a good way to keep in touch with the people I went to uni with. Especially as my mum constantly pesters me as to how they are all the time.

I doubt my friends know this exists, but they will, and after today's debate :p they may find out and do so, but I'm not worried.

No I'm not worried. It's either family or real life friends on my FB, with a few band members. I doubt the latter will have any time to go on a mass friend deletion. There are a few randoms who I used to do those applications with, but I don't care if they delete me. I think I'd delete them.
I don't know how people could have over 1000 friends. I have 197 but the strange thing is I have met most of them.

Nope.

Don't have any friends to lose.

I suppose my wife could leave me, but I have no anxiety over that possibility.

The unfriend day is just a day people stop being friends with others who are hostile or don't really respond (like on Facebook when you have friends who never contact you after they add you). I have no problem imagining or having a day when I can sit and seriously ponder who it is who is in my best interest to be friends with and who isn't. Before, I thought to myself if this doesn't get better soon, then bye-bye but that's just prolonging the agony. At least this way you get a day set aside to evaluate and decide right then who is worth friending and who isn't.

I probably wouldn't even notice if people removed me anyway (Don't know if it will happen to me).

I think it would be a relief, all the pointless stuff in my facebook, gone.
