I don't have lots of friends. Oh wait, did I sound pathetic?
But that's true. Yes, I have 371 friends on Facebook, 145 followers (who mostly I suspect are bots) on Twitter and 11 followers on my blog (not that I'm counting), but if I pinpoint these numbers to the number of people that I actually talk to, that I actually care about (not simply because I want to stalk them), I might only left with roughly 10 people. Or less.
This realization dawned on me when I was removing some of my friends from FB. Seeing all those names that I hardly communicate with made me rethink the point of social network. Or at least the point of *me* making an account on FB, since nobody really contacts me through it. It's certainly not so I could get game requests (which I would simply block afterwards - it's so easy, why don't those people who complained and telling others to stop sending them game requests simply blocked those games?), and certainly not so I could be spammed by those malicious apps.
I guess the main problem here is me. If you've read my previous post about blood type B personality, you would immediately get what I meant (or so I hope). I'm unsociable. And I have mostly the characters of a phlegmatic. An introvert. I don't know how to start a conversation, how to keep the conversation going. Not even in the virtual world, when I was chatting with a complete stranger, where you could talk about almost anything. Even when I'm with my section-mates (or classmates, whatever), I prefer to keep quiet, listening to their chatters than participating.
I'm not sure if I could one day overcome this problem of mine. I really wish I could, because it's hindering me from making friends. Yes, it's not easy for me to make new friends. To be honest, I'm still not used to my section-mates, even when it's almost the end of our second year. I don't think I've managed to establish a relationship with them similar to my relationship with my high school friends (come to think of it, even my high school friends rarely contact me, sobs).
To end this post, I would like to ask you, why did you add me on FB/follow my Twitter/blog, if you don't talk to me (especially on FB)?

Y U NO CONTACT ME? (insert: foreveralone.jpg)
ReplyDeleteAhahaha. As an introvert, I face the same thing. I am a boring person to talk to/about. But I don't care.
A little back, we learnt something about Erikson's theory of personality and in it, we learnt that introvert is not a disease.
It's simply a group of people. They can withstand harsh situation/environment. Being extrovert is no good (or, for the least, equally as good to introvert). Both have their own pros and cons.
So don't worry.
Problem?
