Facebook Friends Question

This is really bugging me. Facebook says I have 54 friends but when I look at who my friends are I can only see 53. I've counted them a couple of times. Anybody know why this might be? Thanks in advance :)

    Think profiles can be made very private so they won't show on searches or friend lists (I think)

    One of your friends may have deactivated their account? (Just guessing, not sure if that's how it works).

    It isn't an accurate total. I used to have a (now deactivated) add-on which counted the number of friends, among other things, and the actual total was always different.

    Thanks for the replies. I can still see friends who have deactivated their accounts. Maybe FB just doesn't count the number of friends accurately.

    I'm the same Penny. My FB friend count goes up and down all the time.

    What on earth possessed you count the number of friends on the list rather than just accept that there were 54?

    I don't trust what others tell me, they might be liars.
