1,930 friends on FB!!!!! WTF!!!

squishywife

i went to elementary, middle, high school, and church with this boy who was a major nerd who is now living a life (via fb and twitter) that he thinks will redeem him to all the popular girls who wronged him.  it's disgustingly obvious.  throws money on his updates and such just so you know.

anyway - he has 1,930 friends on fb!!!!  holy crap.  i thought i had a lot at 330. 

sadly, as far as i know, he doesnt have any true, close friends.  maybe one or two from elementary school.  i just saw his parents at my sisters wedding a few weeks ago - they also said he's lonely

unless you plan on really befriending him IRL, why do you care?  sure it may be obvious to you that it's a sham/ego booster.. and it probably is to most... but why is it necessary to post this?  b/c of the shocking # of FB friends... we all know many people who have an obscene number of FB friends just for numbers.  old news.

thank you for input.

I always wonder how someone could know/keep track of that many people. I don't think I could!

I feel bad for him.

.....and this is kind off the subject, but Gee, nice parents....going around telling people he doesn't have any true friends and that he is lonely. Even if it were true, I would die if my parents went around telling people that!

he was contemplating a move back to a town closer to home...they were explaining that one of the pros would be that he would be closer to them because he doesn't have a lot of friends and is lonely in the town where he is.   

they didnt just say "hey - john is lonely he's got no one".  they are nice people

I am going to have to go with halo on this one. Why the need to point out the obviuos?

not sure why people have  a problem with this post . . ?? strange

anyway, that is a crazy # of friends - can you imagine what the "home page" would look like in that case?  I don't think I could have that many friends if I added everyone I'd ever heard of LOL 

maybe you should feel bad for me

Agreed.  

I don't understand what's flammable about this post.

ditto. What the hell? If you're looking for drama, go elsewhere. Squishy is probably one of the least controversial posters here. And, you said that everyone knows someone with an obscene number of friends on fb? Actually, not everyone does. I have never seen someone with that many friends. Like I said before, go find drama elsewhere- like in the AP debate that you were already in (that I am staying out of).

I wasn't looking for drama. And I couldn't care less about how many fb friends he has. It is how she said he was basically a loser in school and he has to make up for it by having so many fb friends. It was how she worded it that bothered me. That's all.
