The truth

Facebook says I have almost 400 friends. I started to look at the profiles of people I know. Most older people have around this number most younger people had around 200. In reality I think that we are really all very disconnected and lonely. Never is a real connection made. I know i can look at my friends pages and feel as though I have a connection and maybe I did once. The reality is that most people on my facebook I once had a connection with. Some people I used to live, eat, laugh, and cry with but now they are just a number to make me feel better. There was a study I read about and it said that people who are naturally out going in real life get depressed after making a virtual network connection. I am one of these people. Some take virtual network sites very seriously others do not. I want to try to make these friends and numbers mean less and less to me and start to make meaningful real relationships.
