    I think I created a facebook account about 2007 or so, to see what it was about, although I had no intention of adding anyone: I ended up having it deleted.

    I created a second account late last year I think, because I decided it was a good way of keeping track of my likes in various formats and because it was necessary I thought to have an account to use various apps etc. that I read about from time-to-time (I thought the analytics might be interesting too), and also, in case anyone in my past wanted to find me (no one has contacted me so far, although this may partly be because my profile is set to private and there are no distinguishing details except my name (which is fairly distinct: there are 3 people including me with my name as people would know it)...the photo in the profile is not even me either, although I don't think anyone would be deceived by my 'deception'.

    I would find it probably impossible to make friends on facebook if I tried: the whole thing seems too flashy and modern (although in a clumsy 1990s kind of way). I would feel that I have a few levels of facade that would make it difficult for a normal person to comprehend without seeing some deceit, and I would still feel deeply private at some level...it seems far more naturally to me I suppose that I am communicating with someone who doesn't find me repugnant upon first meeting me in the flesh (and I don't mean necessarily in terms of look, although that is a concern to some degree: I mean in terms of vibe: with the vibes I get from a person, it feels easier to know how to nuance my voice a certain way for example, as well as how forward or reserved to be (although these are still mysteries to me somewhat).
