I made the mistake of “Friending” people I went to High School with as well. I didn’t know them then and I don’t like them now. They all either have government jobs (USPS) or they are on Disability because they have mental problems.
I've had roughly the same experience. I've friended a relatively large number of people I went to HS with, and most of the active ones on FB are loonie tunes.
The other day, I was thinking about it and thought, "Maybe I just hung out with the wrong crowd in high school?"
But then I thought about who all I went to HS with (friends or not) and was like, "I don't think there was a 'right' crowd to hang out with at my high school."
I setup a faceb00k account to reach out and plan my weeding with family - big mistake. Scope creep: I didn't need all the extra friends that linked up (and I approved, duh) that are compelled to share news such as; "I'm tired, going to nap, k" and "I'm gonna order some takeout".
It was dishonest when I convinced myself that telling people how "friggin great I am" was to help them. Now I need to remember the password so I can blow out that account.
