I hate doing this for fear of sounding attention starved or dramatic, but I need to cut down my friends list. I've been meaning to do this for awhile but haven't done so. At times I've believed that a friend's list is just that, a list of friends, and how could you just discard someone without saying bye or explaining why. Other times I've treated

yea, i know what you mean. i'm trying to decide that, too. i unadd people on both grounds and try to figure out how to tell people without sounding silly and pretentious. as though it might really matter to them that i just unadded them.

I haven't done it in so long because people that I actually like and enjoy reading always unfriend me, and I didn't want someone else to feel the same way, but like you said.. it probably doesn't matter either way.

i try to imagine that they feel the same way that i do when people unadd me. but then i'm like, wait a minute! i'm totally insecure and neurotic and they probably don't take it personally. and i shouldn't either... so i get over it. or try to forget. or try to remember that it might not be a reflection of who i am and not connecting... the way people do... on here... that i've never really done. (who knows how people really do that stuff)

Haha, that sounds exactly like me. I'm like "I thought we were friends, and you..don't like me anymore??"

it's a tough balance...i feel like if i were to cut some people i'd offend them, and yet i, too, view it as mostly a visual/reading list. it shouldn't be such a big deal i guess.

It really shouldn't be such a big deal but I can become such a softie at odd times haha.
