The problem is, they are friends with either random, sad, lonely people, or desperate people who want a bf/gf so badly that they think that anyone will do. Don't get me wrong. I'm honestly not trying to be stereotypical, but my friends' "friends" (*cough*-airquotes-*cough*) in Indonesia who use networking sites (i.e. facebook, myspace, friendster) are like that. Some of them live different lives on the net; like they pretend to be someone they wish they were, and the others, who are single and jealous wish to find a bf/gf online.
Well, I'm not saying that it is wrong to make use of networking sites like that. I don't oppose that idea, either. I mean, people have choices, you know. But I just can't take it anymore; I can't stand people who add me randomly, and start talking to me like I've known them before, but heck, I don't have a slightest idea of who they are. I'm totally fine if they just add me and talk about normal stuff. But in fact, they don't seem to know that I totally don't enjoy being asked about my life-every single aspect of it- by strangers.
They say, "Well, we are not strangers, since we are friends on facebook." Blah. Really? THEY DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ THE MOST BASIC THINGS ABOUT ME (on my facebook profile, duh) BEFORE THEY ASK ME RANDOM THINGS. Gosh. They go, "So, where do you live? (when I tell them where I live, they always think I'm lying) Which school do you go to, is it in [whatever city they live in]
Again, it's sad that there are too many desperate people on facebook. Sometimes they would say that if I decide to move back to Indo, I should meet them, blah blah blah. I've told them a billion times that I won't move back to Indo. I will visit my family and friends in Indo, though (I miss them lol). But when I do, I wouldn't want to meet those random, sad, and lonely dudes. They think that I'm so full of myself, 'cause I don't want to be friends with just anyone. Well, it's not like I don't wanna be friends with them, but honestly, they bother me too much. I feel that my private life has been.. invaded (eh? lol).
So yea, I have been really selective lately in accepting friend requests on facebook. I would read their names carefully and see if we have friends in common, and I would question myself if I really know them in real life. If I don't, I wouldn't take a risk, because I'm sick and tired of that shit.
As I said, I'm really trying to not be mean. I'm really sorry if I offend anyone. I just wish those random people could be more considerate before adding people on facebook.
