Here's mine. I currently have 48 friends. Most are classmates and a few are from other activities I have.

yeah.

I have a facebook. that and a myspace. and a former xanga page.

I am on it a lot. I'm in 323 groups and dropping a good portion of them.

but yeah. I have about hundred friends on facebook from my college, total? probably a lot more.

So where all do you have profiles?

I know you said MySpace, and now you have one on Facebook. Anywhere else? Just curious.

I've not ever looked at Facebook.com

I've been on classmates.com and myspace. I'm trying to liven up my myspace page. At the moment it is "Cultural Learnings of America for Make Better the Glorious City of Kutna Hora, Czech Republic".


Whoever wants to add me can do so:

www.myspace.com/jennyzeleny

I have one, I got it because I wanted to see what it was about, then I forgot about it, then somebody friended me so I got back on. I have 83 friends so it is not like I am Mr. Popular so to speak.

You are in my Facebook.

I am popular?? Not really considering that Alex had the frowny smiley for his 95 friends. Most of it is just people I vaguely knew adding me to their facebook.

I have facebook,as well.

I have a total of 157 "friends" on facebook.

Some of them I get along well, others are just aquaintences.

I'm on Facebook as well. You can send me a message if you want to look me up.

I've got 95 friends at the school I'm going to, but I'm pretty sure most of those people added me, rather than the other way around. I don't mind some people adding me, it basically allows me to see changes that occur in their life without having to ask, like has already been mentioned.

just looked at the site... I don't see the point in putting on a pic/profile, all the people that go to my university or are my age just care about partying and being cool, and would probably think that I'm weird and quiet

You'd be surprised. If anything the site can connect like-minded people. The profile picture isn't required, nor does it have to be accurate. The profile can be as complete or incommplete as you want. I'm willing to bet that even if you go to one of the tiniest of schools, there will be at least one other person with similar interests, if not many more.

You're probably right, it just feels awkward. I really suck at making new friends, and I have trouble starting up a conversation with someone at school. I'm also scared that if I let people know the real me, they won't want to be around me anymore. I've met maybe one or two people outside of my university who share similar interests (because we do some of the same athletic activities), but we never see eachother outside of those activities. This is magnified with women. I think they are more perceptive to non-verbal communication, and I've had some say that I always seem serious, or that I'm not having fun, so most people don't seem to want to initiate a conversation with me. This is probably more info than you need... but back to face-book. Do you actually meet anyone from there in real life? I could try and make up a profile of myself and see if it gets me anywhere.

That's never changed for me. More often than not, the other person starts the conversation for me.

I was the "weird" kid in my high school class. I was the outcast. By that point, the few friends from middle school that I had had all turned against me, save one, for reasons they refused to give me. I asked, begged, to be told how I had slighted them. Their response? I should know. Needless to say that f****d me up just a wee bit.

In college, its been another story entirely. Sure, I'm still labeled as weird, and I have been told by one of my male friends (long story as to how this came about) that I'm not the most attractive fella, but I've definitely got people that like my company. Many of them attempted to befriend me, rather than the other way around. Not everyone in college has stuck with the high school mentality of "there's the popular jocks and the popular girls, and there's lesser forms of life." Not everyone is of the belief that there's one definition of what "cool" is, or what "acceptable" is. Now I still don't really tell anyone, even here, my entire life history. Some of my past is best left as that. Everyone's got a skeleton or two in their closet, so don't feel guilty if you aren't putting it all out there, especially on somewhere like facebook.



The beauty of facebook is that it can work either direction. You can "friend" someone on it and then meet up later, or you can tell someone to add you or try to add them once you already know them from somewhere, to make keeping up to date with them and the like easier. Don't view it like a "dating style site that's for making friends." View it as a different way of communicating with people outside of the face to face conversation. A lot like here, but without the forums. It can be a foot in the door of sorts with people that you are around some, but may want to hang out more with. Once they have you as a friend on facebook, they have more ways of getting ahold of you to hang out, and they have a more constant reminder that you exist for that matter.

Bottom line, you can put as little or as much as you want on there. Regardless of how much you put on, having a profile won't have a negative impact on you.

I am on facebook.
