just wondering how good a "best friend" is when you rely on facebook status updates to keep in touch with her…
i might be old fashioned, but what happened with speaking to / seeing people irl?
"My 3rd cousin whom I haven't seen since a family reunion 10 years ago"
so why is she in your feed to begin with?
to me this all sounds like a rant from someone blaming a website s/he's socially awkward
Because we both are on Facebook, and check it quite a bit, and despite everyone saying "just pick up a phone" Well, sometimes when I am free, she's not, or vice versa, and it's easier to just make a post on their wall and say "Hey, how's your day going?" and let them respond when they get time? Plus in her situation it's a lot easier to let everyone know that her mother had passed by posting a status on Facebook than it is to call/text every single person.
We're not teenagers, we have our own lives, we meet up when we can, not every day.
