Friends From Facebook: The Complicated Web We Weave

Ah, friends from Facebook. Those digital companions who fill our feeds with memes, baby photos, and the occasional ‘look at my avocado toast’ pic. But let’s pause for a moment—how well do we actually know these virtual pals?

The Social Media Mirage

We’ve all done it: clicked ‘add friend’ on a profile because they were friends with our friend’s friend. Next thing you know, you’re receiving invitations to join their Farmville and watching their cat videos like you’re besties. But in the grand scheme of life, are these really friends? Or just placeholders until you find someone from high school you actually wanted to reconnect with?

The Awkward Encounters

Picture this: you’re at a coffee shop, and you see someone who looks vaguely familiar. You can’t quite place them until it hits you like a ton of bricks—it's your Facebook friend! You panic, wondering if you should wave, nod, or offer them a compliment about their latest status update. The tension is palpable, as you both awkwardly pretend to scroll through your phones, all while avoiding eye contact.

When Facebook Friends Go Awry

Let’s talk about those ‘friends’ who you’ve never met but are all too eager to overshare their lives. You know the type: they’re the ones posting pictures of their latest yoga retreat while you’re still trying to figure out what to have for dinner. These social media influencers can make you feel like a potato in a world full of French fries.

Moving Beyond the Screen
