The Type Of Facebook Friends You Need To Delete Right Now by boman2014: 9:39am On Dec 28, 2015
Most of us have Facebook for whatever reason.

I have Facebook because with my family, friends,
acquaintances etc. spread all over the earth, FB brings us
together like a big party. (I wish it was Ibiza but alas it’s just
the digital world)

There is fun as you share memories and funny happenings. FB
also makes them accessible any time, you don’t have to ring
up a huge telephone bill on the “catch up”.

Sure, Facebook is a great tool to update your status: "What's
on your mind?" An artful, witty or newsy status update is a
pleasure -- a real-time, tiny window into a friend's life. Recall
the days of diaries, where their inner most thoughts and
feelings were captured.

If someone even glanced in its direction, you would be in
defense mode.

Sometimes FB becomes a “dear diary” and it also tends to
bring to the forefront the most attention seeking people.
FB also brings about different personality traits of people.


The let-me-tell-you-every-detail-of-my-life type
"I woke up." "I had Cornflakes for breakfast." "I'm bored" "I'm
stuck in traffic."
Response to this type: Not every moment of your life needs to
be broadcasted. An unsolicited second by second account can
become err! Boring! Mundane! Just because you have 502
Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when
you're waiting for your lift club. How awesome?


The Self-Centered type
OK, so we've probably all posted at least once, twice or maybe
three times about some achievement. Maybe you are an
interesting person and your family and friends, the
international/national ones do really want to know about your
new job or about the fascinating article you wrote about
Facebook Types. But when almost EVERY update is about you,
you and more you, it does become a little self-absorbed. When
your little inner voice tells you – “you are bragging now” you
probably are!


The Friend-DUH type
An Average FB user has 120 friends. If you are a social
butterfly, then maybe 300 BUT if you brag about the 1000 plus
friends you have, you have a problem, stop “friending” every
person. Lady packing your groceries at the supermarket
doesn’t need to be your pal on FB. The only time 1000 plus is
acceptable, if you are Vin Diesel or “The Rock”, then maybe
you might have such a Fan Base. Keep it real!

The Broadcaster
"Kim Kardashian makes another tape” You heard it from my
FB Page first! You might want to switch to E-entertainment
fellow F-Booker. 500,000 other people saw it as well.
Sometimes these types even get caught in spam, in their rush
to trumpet the news they never verify …. “Olympus has fallen”
could mean many things, maybe not the White House.


The Grammar/Spelling Fiend
We are well aware that things are different in the digital world.
I also make mistakes, but care about words please, there is a
difference between “accidently” and “accidentally”, “their” and
“there”. And sometimes putting an apostrophe in the wrong
place is not right.


The Attention Seeker
"I am sad today." "Thinking about last night!”, “I cried last
night …..”
Like fisherman, they cast their rods -- baited with vague tales
of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses.
Genuine bad news is one thing, but really if you want us to
bite, maybe try prawn bait and not bread.


The Stealth Mode FB Friend
AKA peeping toms. They never comment, like or post anything
on your page. You would not miss them if they unfriended you,
but meet them in person or at a function. , these voyeurs will
mention something you posted a while ago, or a picture they
saw, that when you realise they were hiding in the shadows of
your FB Page. Stalkerish! And quite creepy.


The Troll
They spew sarcasm, insults, unfounded or unwarranted
comments.
All I can say: UNFRIEND immediately


The Paparazzi
That one person who is like an ever-ready bunny, takes a pic
of you then proceeds to upload it onto your FB page
immediately - photos you didn't authorize and haven't even
seen? It’s really hard to explain why you were with Channing
Tatum and not Ryan Gosling on that night, at that time, when
you said you were at home with the flu.


The Chronic Inviter
Play Mafia Wars with me. Play Candy Crush with me. Sign my
petition. Like this page. You probably mean well, but stop. Just
stop, can't we simply be friends? Why do you keep inviting me
to farm beets with you. I don’t like farming!
Argggghh!

"Let me tell you every detail of my life", the "attention seeker", "self centred", and "broadcaster". These are the kind of fb pals I hate having as friends.
