I'm having a little problem here trying to figure something out.

Why would someone or people that really don't communicate with you (or maybe just barely) nor do they really care about you try to befriend you or follow you on social media just because they know you from somewhere or you're a "mutual friend", and also expect you to follow them back.


I don't really know, is it just me or is there someone who feels the same?

I'm very secretive about myself and whom I hang around with. My true friends are really few, and I'm a guy that surely wouldn't just call anyone that I know a "friend" unless they prove that they're worthy & the rest are people that I just socialize with (unfortunately), and I hate socializing, because it opens the door for people that don't meet my standards or are nothing like me to befriend me or follow me on social media which I don't really like, because I think they expect me to follow them back. Smfh. I just find it useless.

I think it boils down to this day and age of social media and the popularity contest it becomes. How many 'friends' you have, how many like you receive.
I dont really add people on facebook and such unless I actually know them and like them in real life and so anybody that is just an acquaintance can get to know me first in person if they feel the need to add me to their facebook friends.
I also think the younger you are the bigger a deal it is to add more people and social media plays more of an important role in life.

i only friend people back on facebook as a courtesy, one that makes little difference to me in the end because i don't read my feed 99% of the time and blatantly ignore most peoples posts.

everywhere else, especially regarding my social media s--- for my music, I only follow people back if i genuinely want to. idc how many times they follow me or like my s--- or unfollow me and refollow me or comment nice things or whatever. i'm not following without a reason

I don't add anyone I don't know personally on Facebook (with a few exceptions.) On Twitter it depends, usually I'll follow someone if they follow me and if I don't dig their tweets I'll unfollow them.
