The few that I have friended, I messaged them for a chat first. I accepted a request and expected a message, but this person (last seen when I was (9yrs old) has not responded to my greetings on her wall, WTF does she want if not to talk?
I have just worked out how to unfollow a relative, who is lovely but her 1000's of photos have stopped me being followed. What is the best thing to do, not follow people and just go to their page? I also joined a group, which I thought my utterances were just restricted to there, but was shocked when my conversations were plastered on my wall. Does that mean I have to put everything to private?
Confused, thanks”
If the group you have joined is an "open group" it means that anyone can read it if they click on the group name or a friend of theirs posts/comments on it. If it is a "closed group" anything you post will show up on your own newsfeed, but can only be seen by other members of the group, in other words the public or any of your friends can't see it unless they are also members of the group. Hope this helps
As for the reason why people have so many friends God knows, they are either sad f*ckers who want to make themselves look popular or nosey f*ckers who like to snoop and lurk

Either way, there is no way anyone can interact regularly with over 500 people, in some cases it's over 1000. If they are a public figure it's understandable but one person on my friend list has 1200 plus friends and regularly posts up about being lonely and not having any real friends
