Is it normal to delete people you don't really know off your facebook?

88% Normal
7 Comments

I deleted almost 100 friends off my facebook over the last couple months. I had something close to 500 friends, now I have 375. I can't stand how people could know about my life without knowing me personally. Or that awkward stare you get when you see a facebook friend in person. The least you could do if you stalk my life on facebook is say hi I suppose. I feel somewhat obligated to stay friends with the people that go to my high school, since I'm the senior class president and involved in alot of clubs and whatnot. At the same time, I only want people that make an effort to get to know me in person or that I'm already friends with to be my facebook friends.
All of my facebook friends usually have 600-1500 friends on facebook, which only makes my urge worst since I feel like I have to add certain people. Please give me your input since I feel stupid enough for venting my issue on this website. (sorry for rambling (: )

    Less is more. People with large friend counts like that are looking for a patch for their low self esteem. Be you...friend who you like!

    If you can't stand people knowing about your life because they don't know you personally why be on a social network? Just don't add people you don't know..

    Yes you should delete them...Its mostly young people who want to b cool and popular who think that having 1000 friends plus makes them cool and popular..but it doesn't as none of it is really real.. if you haven't met them face to face then its not real..
