Quick thought:
Just cleaned my friend charts up, to keep only the people I've interacted with ^^
Is it just me and everyone's chasing "the more the better" mentality or someone can relate? :^

TLDR: yeah, i notice it too.
i had a friend like this. he had so many friends, knew everyone, everyone knew him. he would hang out with people every night and wave at everyone he saw like they were his best buds. he would complain to me about having no one who cares. he didn't even actually know most of these people, just their names and what they generally like. i think we're all just so lonely now, we overcompensate. whether it be by changing yourself because you dont like yourself or trying to be friends with everyone so you don't feel so alone. idk. TLDR: yeah, i notice it too.
Pinning this.
Especially in the recent times, most connections became so.. surface-level. We began considering occasional acquaintances our friends, hence the bar is way too low. Unfortunately, a few people we have a deep bond with aren't available 24/7, and here sets the dilemma of quality and deprivation or quantity and satisfaction

so real, omg. these people, they just... run away from anyone who wants to be real. it feels so hard to express myself or feel anything other than happy-go-lucky because some people can't just be uncomfortable. or they can't comfort, or they can't handle anyone other than them feeling anything. it gets tiring. i hope people like this start to understand that they need to let people be real and honest with them or they wont ever have a real connection.

I remember someone saying that they feel corny having deep conversations and therefore cut them. Make it make sense, they behave corny to not feel corny..

a lot of us are just being really conditioned to not feel things anymore. im a victim of this also. im just now starting to be able to feel actual empathy now that im alone for the first time without ANY friends. ive just had to stop being friends with people who wont let me have meaningful conversations with them. if that means people see me as “annoying” or i end up having no friends, so be it. i’d rather just be myself by myself than feel
embarrassed being someone im not

Oh yeah! Absolutely. I used to add many ppl on here - I mean, it’s a public site, I’m not posting too personal things. Hoped some folks would have similar interests and I’d find some new friends. maybe they’d see or like my art or idk. But I’m slowly weeding many ppl out, mostly because of what I wrote in my bulletin.
Glad that you added me back in the day though :)

Yes, I see many users on here with like, thousands of friends!! I like to befriend the intriguing profiles
I began avoiding the multi-hundred (/thousand) ones, because the interactions with them are so shallow.. or aren't even present at all

I feel like some are doing it yet they refuse to admit they do.
Might be.. But I personally prefer quality over quantity. Since these are friends, not followers, right :3
