    Everyone, no one, just friends you see regularly, organised into groups? Somewhere in between?

    Half asking because I'm interested, half asking because I've been on a week long programme with some nice people that I got on well with and I didn't know whether or not to friend them.

    I'll usually add anyone that sends me a request but I get really shy about adding others.

    I only add people I know. When I get a friend request from someone I don't know, I decline it. I also never add strangers myself.

    I do have some FB friends who I met online, but who I've never seen in person. My goal is to meet all of them at least once in my life and it's actually working quite well :grin: About two months ago, I went out for drinks with one of them when I was in Lithuania, and a few months back I met up with a girl from France when she was in Berlin. Pretty cool.

    I add people I know and like. If it's an acquaintance I don't plan to talk to, I don't add them. Basically If I contact someone regularly or I care about their life I'll add them. Otherwise I won't.

    I add people that I know. I don't necessarily know them well, but I do know them.

    I use to add people I knew that I felt were nice, but there is no one on there I speak to except one person so if I deleted all the ones I had no contact with then I'd have only 1 person on there.
    Now I just leave it as it is. Not a fan of it really.

    I have to have talked to them before, even online would be fine. If i just outright haven't even said anything to somebody online then I refuse to add them.

    I don't use it all that much. However, my profile is limited to friends only.

    I hate Facebook. I only reluctantly have an account because I talk to my brother via Messenger and I do not have a smartphone for texting. The only "friends" on there are family members.

    So I don't really go on Facebook anymore because those 'type amen' things triggered me. Especially when they showed a picture of an aborted fetus. Anyway, when I did use it my rule was I was only friends with people I knew.

    I just have my online friends that I'm out to on mine, I've met a few of them in real life too. Just none of my local friends or family because I couldn't be myself without major drama.

    When my local friends or family ask if I have an account I just lie about it.

    They have to be mutuals with at least two of my friends before I'll consider adding them.

    I add people I like and everyone I know from school etc. and who asks me. I don't add people I don't know.

    The only problem is that I don't know what to do with my facebook now, because there are so many people I don't speak to anymore. I would really like to throw them off my friendlist, but I feel bad for doing it, so I'm just doing... nothing xD

    I don't really use social media, but as far as things like Steam go, only people I know.

    I only add people like friends or family or people I went to school with. Sometimes I'll add somebody from work but not often. Every time I receive friend requests from people I don't know personally, I decline them. It's always weird getting requests from strangers that I've never seen or met.

    If it's somebody I trust and have confidence in, I will accept the friend request. I don't need to share their perspective on everything, because life's not like that, but I do need to trust them with my personal information and respect them as a person.
