I just unfriended some people. Not because I don't like them, but what's the point of having so many people I don't even talk to reading my truly personal entries?
It's a hard call and one that causes way too much drama in most cases. My friend seantaclaus did a post the other day about why he defriended several people. Someone he knew had pointed out that people friend each other out of a sense of obligation, and that they should not do so. You should friend people because you are interested in what they have to say (and like seeing pretty pics of the things that they make!).
Personally, I find that I like reading journals sometimes even if I don't respond much or get much response, but some of the people I friended a couple of years ago were people I met in groups of friends in Chattanooga, and I never got to know them and feel weird reading ambiguous entries in their journals now. Some of them are people I friended in response to being friended, and then they stopped writing. It's been a while since I friended anyone that way because it just seemed silly after a while. It can definitely cause drama, but I think in this case, none of the people I unfriended are even going to notice or would care, there's so little connection.
Thank you for keeping me on. I do read your posts, just as I do for most people on my friends list. Just lately, words haven't been coming to me very easily to respond.
