I made a point of deleting all the FB freinds I didnt know in real life (w.exception of maybe a few organizations or clubs).
I think I had around 25 realtime face-to-face aquaintenances..maybe up to 30.....which in includes classmates and former neighbors or even people I met at a bar, that I havent seen in years, that I knew in real life at one time or another...over a 54 year lifespan.
For people who say that it's automatically envy to be irritated by people's pics from Maui or Paris, I think that is pretty unfair. People who brag about things are obnoxious regardless. Of course, it's also human nature to be envious about things that someone else has that you don't. I am not saying it's a great quality but it is what it is. With today's economical climate, I think it is insensitive to show pics from far-flung corners of the world on a FB page viewed by all. Back in the day before the Internet, someone would do a slideshow for people they had invited over. Nowadays I see a big stork sign on people's lawns to advertise their child's birth. Why? Because narcissism is so rampant.
How many friends do you think you can have in REAL LIFE? You know "Friends", people you call up and actually go out to dinner with, go to a movie, etc.
It wouldn't be 3,000 or 300 or most likely not even 30.
I don't get how people have the time or would bother to even try and be in contact with so many people.
lol your comment didn't go over my head. I get what you're saying....and I already admitted that I only talk to like 20-50 people on my FB page in real life; either by phone/text, face-to-face contact, etc. No one knows 3000+ people, unless you're obama or somebody lol Facebook just irks the hell out of the "old school" crowd, and I'm starting to realize that more and more. I was just stating the fact that you can a smell an "aunt's" jealously through the electromagnetic waves omitting from the computer screen lol It's also equally annoying to see patronizing and sarcastic comments from Dear Aunt Sally everytime I try to make a status update or post to my friends. So, I guess the door swing both ways lol
I have a different view --- my FB is family including nieces and nephews and their boyfriends and girlfriends and some friends of my kids.
I think it's just personalities, there are always those kids and other people who will give you a play by play on their daily lives, it's how they are and they can be kind of entertaining. Often these types aren't whining about their headache, they just post they have one. It's the same thing at our family get-togethers. Some kids and other people are introverted and also don't post on fb or use social media. You can't get them to tell you how their day is going. If you ask they just answer with a "mummumm" something that sounds like very mumbled "I don't know". I think the world has always been about extroverts and introverts -- the introverts sit by and watch what the extroverts are doing but don't like to be watched too much themselves.
I'm like the OP and rarely post anything but there wouldn't be anything to look at if they were all like me.
Think about it, these people really don't have a life. If they did, they wouldn't be spending so much time on FB, taking pictures of the mundane aspects of life. How about doing something so fun and thrilling, you don't have time for FB.

I couldn't believe my friend posted his entire vacation on Facebook, I was like......."Why the Pluck are you on the internet and you are supposed to enjoying yourself out of town? LOL

Sometimes it think people who constantly post little insignificances on FB must not have anyone to talk to.. Why do they feel the need to post as if they're leaving a message on someones phone.. a message to all of their friends..
So they must not have someone significant that they say these things to. They must crave attention..
Most of the busiest people I know rarely post.
