    Default Facebook "friends"

    How do you manage your Facebook friends list?

    As in, do you ever get rid of people? And if so, is it a widespread clearing out, or is it just deleting people you don't really like?

    And how might this relate to type?

    i have like 23 ppl ,mostly family.recently,i put it in invisible mode ;D till now i've only deleted 2 persons and their reaction was so annoying.the first one i had to accept again as a friend because i meet her on a daily basis and i just said that some fb mistake took her off my list.but then i deleted her again and she didn't mention anything.we are cool,though.

    I swear that site will be the death of me. I read into updates and status' too much and some people post stuff that's way too personal. I keep it updated by deleting someone I never talk to each time I get a new friend request. A couple people I work with friend requested me and I haven't said one word to them ever before and there's that moment of awkwardness when you see each other in person because now do you HAVE to be friends IRL because they're your facebook friend? It's so weird. I've tried to get rid of it but it's too addictive, i'd be so out of the loop without it.

    I used to try and keep it under 300 people. Now it's exceeded that and I still add at least one or two people a week. I've made a lot more use of the ignore feature, where you can hide people's posts from your own news feed. That's helped a lot, I don't worry about people who decide that everything in their life needs to be on facebook... Since their posts don't get into my news feed I don't have to feel the need to delete them since they're irritating...lol.

    I have dunno like 200 friends. I never unfriend anyone, but I don't accept every friend request I get.

    Facebook friends in itself mean nothing to me. Some of them are real life friends, some are people I met a few times, some are people I know well, some are people I barely know. I use facebook to sneakpeak into their lives. Actually facebook is probably least needed for real life friends but more for people you rarely keep in touch, it allows to do it more frequently.

    I know what you mean. Even stranger, I tend to accept the request and then actively avoid some of them irl.

    I usually accept everyone that has a few mutual friends with me, but the truth is, I don't care enough about that site to delete anyone. But people who actually care about being deleted from FB friends confound me.

    I frequently delete people.. If I add them and they are posting annoying shit I delete them. I delete people I have no interest in talking to, but only if I don't feel like there's a chance I can run into them.. Also don't delete family, no matter how annoying they are.

    What this has to do with type... No idea
