<p>Alright, so 45 minutes ago I had 650 Facebook friends, and I realized not that I didn't know some of the people I was friends with, but actually that I disliked a lot of them. I spent 45 minutes deleting 100 friends. I would delete more, but the process of deleting a friend one by one just takes so long that I just have up for the night. I'm starting to get tired of Facebook, although I also don't want to delete it.</p>
<p>So, my new number of friends: 558</p>
<p>Personally, I think anything over 400 is too much. Under this I think I can at least be familiar with most of the people, and even if we don't talk anymore we could have at least had a conversation in my life. If we've never talked we shouldn't be friends. So, my goal is to be under 400 in the next few days. Even better than this would be 200, but I sometimes feel guilty deleting someone I like (it's a problem, I know), so this probably won't happen.</p>
<p>I had no idea, so I just looked, I have 678 friends. I feel like it is a lot, but I know everybody on the list/have no desire to remove anybody. The breakdown of the list is probably like…
140 people = My high school class
50-100 = Other people who go to my school that I am in clubs with, have classes with (math and language classes are by level not grade) and people who are in my major
100+ = People that go to the overnight camp I used to go to
150-200 = People in my youth group and an international Jewish program I am in
The rest = Random people I know from golf, volunteering and so on</p>
<p>Around 200. I only really add people I’m friends with and/or know in person from like sharing a class or something. After graduating, I plan on clearing the list out more and getting rid of the people I don’t really wanna hear about after high school :P</p>
<p>@Twentythirteen, yeah my list is going down when I graduate high school. I have nothing against the people in my class, but some of them I have never talked to other then to ask a homework question.</p>
<p>I used to have over 600 then I finished high school and got rid of everyone I never intended to talk to again… so now I have 208 (I just checked). I think anywhere over 500 is too much because I really doubt you talk to 500 people on a regular enough basis to constitute being a “Facebook friend.”</p>
<p>This is going to sound really bad, but I have 1,260 facebook friends. I used to be really particular about my facebook, and I would delete people like every week until I got back to like 200 but now if someone requests I just kind of go with it. Most people that add me actual talk to me, and I get quite a bit of activity on my facebook… So yea.</p>
<p>I have 483. As soon as I graduated, I went through my friends list and deleted people I honestly don’t care about/don’t even remember adding, haha. Hella people from the college I’m going to all started adding each other, though.</p>
<ol>
<li>I do know them all; some better than others. If I went through and deleted all the people I really don’t care much about, I would probably have around 150 or less.
I think anything over 500 is a bit excessive unless you move around a lot or you’ve already graduated from college.</li>
</ol>
<p>500 something, but my FB account is deactivated now so I don’t check and haven’t posted anything in over a year. As cliche as it may sound it is all about Twitter now as far as social networking goes, but I bet that will get old in a couple of years to.</p>
<p>And too many is however many of them you haven’t actually met at least once. Or people who aren’t actually friends if you’re more personal on your facebook.</p>
<p>I have, at the time of writing this, 73 friends (technically 71 because two deleted their profiles). I’ve only unfriended one person whom I requested on accident. On the whole, I’m a very reclusive, unlikable person, so that’s why my score is so low. I feel like I could definitely go on a deleting spree and cut it down to maybe 50. I only see about 20 people on my friends list on a regular basis, but I know all but one person on my friends list in real life (meaning: I’ve had a class with or have talked to him or her).</p>
<p>So, I thought I had around 300. I just checked and it turns out I have 437. I mean, I’ve heard of most of the people I’m friends with, but I never realized how many times I clicked accept just because we have mutual friends. I think anything around 1000 or more is a bit much but I can see how someone could easily have 8 or 900.</p>
<p>Aw you beat me to it. I was gonna make this thread I have exactly 200 friends. Then I went and checked my requests and saw that I have almost 50 waiting.If I were to accept everyone I remotely know (like lots of people do) I’d probably have like 300-400 something. But I’m pretty picky about facebook friends. I ask my self 1. “Do I know this person?” 2 “How well?” and 3. “Do I care what happens in their life?” before accepting requests. I feel kinda bad about it cuz I like imagine them wondering why I wont accept it (which probably isnt happening.) Overall I’ve gotten much more accepting to facebook friends. A year ago I probably had like 70 friend with about 20 of them restricted in access-which can be contributed partially to me not knowing as many people.</p>
<p>I had like 100 because I wouldn’t accept people’s friend requests that I didn’t really talk to. But then, some kids thought that was really rude and stuff so I just accept them all now and I have like 700 now</p>
