Ok I come in peace... but I have questions relationships and social media... I initially posted this on the cancer forum because my questioning started by dealing with a few cancers and also being a water sign with some cancer placements I've functions sort of like them in some things

I know and understand personalities and the need for privacy and to keep some things to ourselves

But lately even the most private person I know is super big on social media, it turns into their own little world, but what is all about it?, collecting admires?, attentions?, true connections?, a way of not feeling lonely?... I mean I've my own motives but lately I've been questioning them I have no solid reason to have FB... I even don't know why I use FB anymore is such a heartache in many ways, but also lately all I do is read news and articles, is more like a news feed to me, I find it completely boring now a days...

But going back to cancer (a person who likes to have small but meaningful relationships, and very protective of their privacy) the few I know have like 1000 of friends, adding all kind of people close and not to their friends list, like is unimportant, at first I thought they were very protective about your privacy, then I realized (in my experience) that some people use the privacy settings like a master, even some spend too much time working on who has access to what and who doesn't so there is some sort keeping things private... I was to naive about it because I don't understand it I function completely differently, if I don't want people to know something about me, I simply don't post it, or if I don't want you to see my stuff I don't add you, I'm too lazy to spend time "curating" my contents for my audience, seems like such a waste of my time... but it seems to me that cancer people seems to put a lot of effort that feature on social media...

for example when my BFF and I had our disagreement the first thing that happen was she removed me from all social media, obviously I took it as... you are mad at me and you just want me out of your life and I don't want you to know about mine... but then I think what about all those other X amount of random people they add, they mean absolutely nothing they still seeing her stuff... so is not that relevant then?

Why is FB for example is such a relationship statement... for some? "is not a relationship if is not fb official" dafuq? if I'm mad or angry and instead of working things out the first thing that happen, is boom unfriending people, is the common denominator in most of the post I've read in the past week on this forum... is like the ultimate punishment? then when you delete someone, it is suppose to mean you are forever out my life? so if I've forgive you I give you access back? why is that suppose to mean? Im not a teenager nor an old treetrunk so I'm in between, call me slow but I don't get that... I simply don't

for me Im ok not knowing a person's 24/7 and doing it the "old way", want to know about you? I call you or email you, or Skype and talk and exchange photos and laugh and so an so... I kind of want to know others take on this phenomena

any thoughts?
