An Un-friend..

I have been facebook hopping out of utter boredom!

I am not a big Facebook fanatic and I really try to limit friends to a small group. However, lately some extended family members have been making friend requests - I am not thrilled about that!! What is next, my mother making a friend request, ewwwwwww. I would shut down my account and toss my laptop in the closest body of water.

Anyway, I did the standard facebook stalk. Searched people from high school, who all look horribly old and fat now. I then searched my old work from pre-military life. I found loads of people that I have worked with there.

I then glanced at some pages of current co-workers. Not that many to see here. The one thing that stands out is that I really don't share much with people I work with.

Take my last job, I was there four years and maybe have five facebook friends from there and there were probably 80 to 90 people I worked with on a regular basis. My jobs since I have not a single facebook friend. COT zero! Now in the real military again ZERO.

I may be slightly anit-social or I prefer to keep my distance from people. It makes me wonder some things about myself and why I prefer not to get too close to others. The big thing is - I do not see it changing anytime soon. I prefer to keep a safe distance plus it is difficult for me to find people I have things in common with..

For example, the people I work with now are all married with children. I never plan to be married and not a big fan of children so there is not way to connect with those people. Plus, I think I am focused in different areas than many of them. I try to fit in, but not at the expense of changing who I am.

It is way late and I have wasted way too much time playing online in a blatant attempt to avoid working on other things I should be doing..
