O/T kinda...drumming up FB friends to get at BM

DaizyDuke's picture

So I know for a fact that it drives BM nuts that I have over 100 more friends on FB than she does (SS mentioned something about "all my FB friends" and he is not on so that means pyscho BM is stalking me) sooooo game on! I am drumming up business just to piss her off even more!

Anybody wanna be my friend?? PM me! Every single one of you is my "friend" anyway...seriously don't know what I would do without this site!

p.s. I promise I am not a trolling BM looking to out step moms across the world! lol

Lets have fun!!!!!! }:)

I don't get why the number of facebook friends even matters. Most of the time it's not even people they know.

If I 'friended' everyone who requests or everyone in my address book I'd have 1000s of 'friends' but WTF - what's the point? 1000 more people wasting space with drivel about what they had for lunch or what they did in farmville? As if anyone CARES!

I know some people are into it. I just think it's really superficial and pointless.

There was a study recently, linking narcissism and the number of facebook friends one has.. I'll try to find it.

found the study

Now, having said that, I can see just trying to get under BMs skin and if you can do it by just adding people - Go for it!

You take a random comment from your SS and assume it automatically came from BM? Really?

Okee dokee.. wasn't looking to get bashed and called a narcissist, was just looking to have a little fun. And the majority of random comments from SS of this nature come directly from BM, I live the life, I know her deal.

Forgive me... guess my above comment about feeling as if all on here were my friends was WAY off base.

Sorry. I wasn't calling you a narcissist. It was just the mention of facebook reminded me of the article.

I hoped that the last line of my post would have shown that I wasn't calling you a narcissist. I have no clue how many friends you have. I probably shouldn't have replied to your blog. I should have started another one to discuss the article if I wanted to discuss the article. It's just that your post reminded me and if anything, I was implying that your BM might be a narcissist since she's the one worried about the numbers.

I wasn't trying to bash you. I responded because your comment in no way related to BM, but you were already on this FB campaign to get to her because you know for a "fact" it bothers her? Although your explanation was definitely not a fact. That makes NO sense to me.

I'm not disputing that you have friends on this site...but that wasn't what prompted my response.

I guess I'm in the minority that wants less people on my Facebook... Wink

I think that's just the OCD though. People who never come online or people who I never/have never really spoken to and who are more acquaintances that friended me end up getting removed, just because they feel out of place to me.

Maybe I'm just strange, though.

I am in the minority with you. The only "friends" I have are my family members & friends I truly care to stay in touch with. In my 4 years on FB, I have 62 friends.

I suppose I am not so quick to accept friend requests from people outside of that group because I know how easy it is for people to be say they're someone they're not online. I know how easey it is based on the fact that SIL & I set up some man's account & "friended" BM. Obviously, she isn't so picky. LOL! I am careful not to put myself in the same position.

Lol - don't worry I just got totally bashed for one of my comments as well hahaha.
I love FB!!!! I used to have a heap of friends and then I deleted a heap cos I realised I was walking passed people on the street and not saying hello and they were on my list. So I only add people I would say hello to in the street. That's my rule hahaha.
So you get as many people on your friends list as you can!!! I think it's fun!

I love FB too and not for the drama, I really only get on to see who's having a birthday and wish them happy birthday and for me just having a baby, it is awesome to be able to post pics so all of my friends and family can see them... that way I don't have to send a bazillion e-mails and then get scared that I left someone out! I am not friends with anyone that I would not say hi too if I ran into them at the store and I don't have thousands of random people "friends"! I am (what I would say is) older (almost 40 eeek) so I just happen to know ALOT of people through different jobs, school friends of friends etc!

Maybe I am in the minority, but I think you can never have too many friends and I am the type of person that even if I haven't talked to you in 10 years, if you called and needed the shirt off of my back I would give it to you... that's just me. So when SS made his little comment about "all of my friends on FB" I just decided game on,, just wanted to have a little fun.. I really don't see how it is going to harm anyone??

I know - I don't get it either! I need to use it because nearly all my really good friends live at least 3hrs away - so it's the easiest way to keep up to date with people.
Plus - I'm a teacher, I figure I better know the social networking sites that the kids use so I know how to include it in class lol! It helps that I'm totally addicted now!

I will be anyone's friend who wants... I reject people I know that I don't like, but that is it. I know sometimes we just need little ways to get at the BM... Send me a message and I will be your friend, lol!
