I used to have like 300 or so people, but then realized I really didn't care about most of these people, and they didn't care about me - so it was all for show, like it is for everyone else.

So I started cutting "friends" there and ended up with 11. It's just a few friends and few family people I actually want to hear about and from, and who actually want to know what's up with me. If I didn't have them on it, though, I wouldn't be on Facebook at all anymore. It's really stupid beyond just staying in touch.

I'm a little late to this thread. But I have roughly 1100 Facebook friends as of right now (at least half of those FB friends I have met in real life at some point).

I don't get the FB concept whatsoever. So pointless. I have one friend on there, and that's only because she's living across the other side of the world so we don't see each other for years on end (and she was my childhood friend). I don't want all my personal details online and I don't know why other people do.

I got over 200 and I keep trying to get rid of most of them. Idiots.

Why don't you just unfriend them if you want to get rid of them?

I think it's pretty pointless having an active and non-anonymous facebook account with less than 30 friends, that's sort of like entering a famous funky house club while weighing more than 440 pounds or smelling like vomit.

People will judge you for it and you will get social difficulties because of it.

If you're lacking friends then you should pretty much stay out of the facebook zone, there are many sick minded people who could destroy your life via that medium, not having enough friends is a valid reason for them to hunt you down, trust me.

i have 2 friends on facebook, but they never talk to me. i do not attract people to a substantial degree.
who cares. if i attracted them, they would be like barnacles on my hull anyway.

When I still had my Facebook, I had well over 250 friends. I know quite a lot of people who moved to different areas, and even different countries.

I have around 120 friends. I mostly just use it to comment on statuses and sometimes use the chat feature.

I'm glad I got rid of my profile, I had a bunch of "friends" I didn't even know.

I have 132 friends on FB. However, most of those are people who if I walk by in real life, ignore me. Completely and utterly. One of them is my ex-friend who I'm still trying to get up the courage to ask why we stopped being friends. I don't talk to 80% of the people on there. So, if you think you're still a loner, you might be. Try starting a conversation in FB chat, maybe.

I bet all those people with 500+ friends won't remember all the names of the people they add 5 years from now.

I don't use Facebook anymore unless I need to. I would be happy to get rid of it forever. BUT, people today have this stupid idea that people who do not have Facebook are sociopaths.

Also, people in university keep sending friend requests for group projects which is so idiotic. Why does everyone insist on using Facebook for group projects anyway? Facebook does not even have filesharing! :roll:

I will never understand why people (even in university) add people as friends just for group projects for that semester. Someone I "added" told me "Your FB profile is sooooooo boring!".

When the semester was done, and I was 100% sure I would never meet him again, I unfriended him.
