"I'm going on a friend deleting Spree!..." Facebook posts?

[Anonymous]

So a friend of mine on Facebook just posted this:

"I feel like its time to go on a friends list deleting spree. If we're not 'friends' later its most likely because you post WAYYYYY too much of your personal life on your Facebook , probably for attention and its annoying.

Ps. To everyone who does that, I'm sorry you feel that attention deprived. You should be embarrassed - Get friends to talk to instead.

That's all :)"

I'm not really close friends with this person and I don't care if they delete me or not. But I just don't get why people feel the need to make these grand posts on Facebook. Why not just delete people quietly if they are bothering you so much?

I just don't get it.

Anyone else feel this way?

To me these kind of statements scream "I take social media pages WAYYY tooo seriously, and feel the need to draw attention to myself for thinking I'm being such an integral part of your life to worry that I might delete you and to plead your case to me."

Absolutely agree that they want attention as well; I've heard of these posts but never seen it ...which is understandable as I only have 20 "friends" on my Facebook page - two actual friends in real life, mind you.

I don't get those "deleting sprees"; why not just add those you want to add. And accept only those you've at least spoken to once or have seen around in your school; I've never understood why people add someone they have never seen in "real life"

I completely agree! If people didn't just add random people, then there would be no need to go on deleting sprees. Just add friend you already know and talk to on a regular basis. I guess some people just get caught up with social media and think them ore friends they have, the better a person they are. And that's simply not true.
