How to hide Facebook friends list from friends

<p>I recently started Facebook so I currently have 0 friend there. I'm going to send out a friend request to people I know one by one, but once they are added to my friends list, I don't want them to see it because I will have very few people in the list. In my privacy profile, I made it so that the friend list viewing is set at the highest privacy level, which is "Only Friends". But why isn't there "Only Me" option for this, or is there? If so, how do you make nobody, including people in friends list, see your friend list?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it. If you just started using FB everyone will already know that you will have very little friends to begin with. If they’re really your friends, they won’t care how many people you’re friends with.</p>

<p>But to answer your question, no there isn’t an option where only you can see it.</p>

<p>there isn’t an option for that because it is a social networking site. it was designed for people to reconnect with people they knew or connect people they would like to get to know. it’s fine to get one and keep a small friends list, but it isn’t typical. </p>

<p>(although it’s a huge hassle, there is one way to get around this that i know of. under “friends” in the privacy tab, you can click “customize”. this allows you to exclude individual people from seeing your friends list.)</p>

<p>Don’t worry about… everyone starts off with 0 friends when they first make a facebook.</p>

<p>People will be able to tell you just made one do to the lack of content.</p>

<p>

The “friends” I’m going to send friend requests to will probably care because many of them are not real friends. Still, I need them as “friends” because we’re on several classes together and other extracurricular activities. I don’t know if this makes sense.</p>

<p>

The problem is, how do people know if you just started Facebook unless you explicitly tell them? I don’t want to go out of my way to tell each person that I’m new to Facebook and that that’s why I have a few people in the friends list, because I think that’s sad. I gotta email the Facebook moderator to ask him to add “Only Me” option for friends list privacy.</p>

Thanks, I’m gonna try that. But it works only after you add those individual people to friends list, doesn’t it, because you need to individually select people? I don’t know, I guess it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>

My Facebook account was actually made 3 years ago, but what I meant by saying that I’m new to Facebook was that I just started using it recently. I deleted all the automatic Wall posts like “[You] joined Facebook,” with the date beside the message, but is there still a way people can find out when a Facebook account was made?</p>

<p>Absolutely no one will care. < 50 friends means you’re new to facebook (or are starting to use it) or live in a really small town.</p>

<p>Your thinking too hard. No one will care. At all.</p>
