Facebook Question-friend question..

How do you accept friends? I mean do you accept a ton of people even if you haven't talked to them in a while or just people you see and talk to IRL at least say twice a year? I am just asking because I have been on a couple years I kind of set mine up so I had only good friends, or friends I was really close with in high school and family. I figured I only wanted these people seeing my posts and pictures...and then I have friends who are friends with EVERYONE. I have some people requesting me now that I kinda want to accept but am not sure if I might feel funny if they saw my posts and pictures. I don't know I guess it is stupid and I am way overthinking the facebook thing but I feel bad ignoring some requests and think it might be interesting to have a couple people that I don't regularily talk to on there but dont want to regret it and have to delete them later because I feel funny having them have access all the time. I only update my status say once a week but do you feel funny doing that when Joe Blow from high school can see it and you wonder what he is thinking or he posts something equally lame back?? I don't know what I am really trying to say, this is the stupidest post ever. if u can make any sense of my thoughts-how do you view facebook in that sense and accepting friends? Thanks!

    if I recognize the name and face, I accept... unless I really didn't care for them.  Really, I look at FB as the class reunion I don't have to go to.  I can block people from seeing stuff if I really don't want them to see pics. I don't really worry about their opinion of me b/c, frankly, I think I have a prettydamngood life.

    You can block people from seeing certain things on your page. This is what I do with coworkers that I don't want knowing all of my business.

    I have about 130 and it's a big mixture. I do  not accept everyone but I do accept most high school requests which include multiple classes because I had older siblings and some of their classmates friended me too. I know them but not super well. I also have a lot of my mom friends from Natalie's school on my page. Then there's family..several family members too. If someone annoys me I just hide them.

    If I recognize them/their name, I accept them.  Actually, I don't think I've ever denied a friend request.  But I was thinking about this today as I have 232 friends on there --- I was going to delete some (the people I don't ever talk to) but then I feel bad?!?!

    I don't know.  And no Gibs, I do not have any delusions that I am popular based on the # of Facebook "friends" I have.

    See, I'm kinda over FB for this very reason.  I don't necessarily want to be friends with EVERYone and their mother.  Now that all the old people are getting hip to FB I've deactivated my account, then reactivated it again and now censor what I say.  It kinda takes the fun out of it.  Been thinking about quitting it again.
