fb..does anyone else have an issue with it

fb.
It's great if it is used for the purpose of friends and family,
but I have found that when extended to other people
and randoms adding each other
is when you start having issues..
I am having an issue with myself over superficial people..
in my world and in my life, the people are real.
But the pretense on fb is astounding.
" like " friend " " love "..
these words are thrown around so casually on fb.
and get real, no one can have a hundred or thousand or any ridiculous number of " friends "
I also added people and was added by others, at random.
Wow that was a mistake.
So many with their own agendas
posting random rubbish and really,
what for? " to see how many " likes " they get ?
I find that most are just so incredibly casual..
they come and go like the weather..
depending on what better things they may have to do.
Fair enough.
Maybe it's just me.
I do take the people in my life, seriously
and I don't just suddenly appear and disappear
in others lives whenever it suits me.
A friend is a friend is a friend, in my world.
That means visit call email message, whatever..
but keeping in close contact is my definition of friend..
being there for each other,
is my definition, of friend.
I really would rather have no one in my life,
than a hundred or a thousand
people who are basically no more than just a name on a page,
needing validation from others..
" Signs "..so annoying..
every other post that you read is telling you
that you should do this or do that
believe in this or believe in that..
and statuses on the weather or what's cooking for dinner and videos that if I want to watch
I am quite capable of looking for them myself
on youtube if I actually want to watch them..
I accept every person, for who they are.
But I cannot deal with people who are just
" all about me "..
Maybe it's just who I am...
