Here's another new one from the realm of Facebook. Unfriending.
I'm not talking about getting pissed and removing exes from your friends list like an angry nine year old. I'm talking about culling the herd, separating the wheat from the chaff, the cream from the curd. I've been slowly going through over the last few days and deleting people on my friends list that I hardly know or that I only saw a few times. Sometimes these are people that a year ago I thought I'd become friends with but that friendship hasn't happened, and sometimes they're people from High School or college that I have nothing in common with and no interest in anymore. This sort of culling is important to the mental state of my Facebook page because I don't like tricking myself into thinking that I'm friends with people I hardly know.
When I'm doing this, I hope that other people do it to me, too - I feel sort of guilty, like I'm rejecting people or something. Mind you, I don't feel guilty enough not to drop these folks, but I'd feel better knowing that everyone else did it, too.
