Insecure
Sometimes I worry that people that I like or think are pretty cool people don’t really like me because I don’t get as many comments on facebook as other people do. And I totally recognize that this is completely stupid, and has no bearing on reality. But obviously I’m totally insecure when it comes to facebook. For some reason I am especially sensitive about this in regards to people I knew in high school (who to my totally jaded eyes seem to all be visiting with each other on facebook – again, I know this is rediculous). Why am I like that? And how do I fix it, because I know it’s dumb?
On another note, I am completely wiped out this week. I haven’t gotten home before 8pm yet this week, due to volunteer work and hanging out with a couple friends. I need to go home and just veg out after volunteering tonight, but our dishes haven’t been done all week (at least we haven’t been home to make a bunch more), and laundry needs to be done. So no vegging for me. I am really looking forward to the weekend.

If it makes you feel better, I think you’re way, way cooler than me and worry frequently about why you don’t chat with me more often on Facebook. And I know it will make you feel better to know that Aunt Lois doesn’t even DO Facebook. Ha! How un-cool is she?!?
Seriously, though, it’s a factor of human nature, I think. I’m constantly convinced that other people are far more connected/more in tune/better in touch/more with-it-in-general than I. And it’s much easier to say “Don’t sweat it” than it is to actually not sweat it. That said, don’t sweat it, baby. You’re plenty cool in my book!

IMO, only UNCOOL people comment on each other’s facebook tons. Seriously. They comment back and forth to make each other feel like they are just the coolest.
AND, it depends on what kind of friends you have. Some don’t care about facebook. And…..do you go comment on their page? Often comments are because people are commenting back…
You, IMO are the type of person who has a good group of great friends instead of tons and tons of “kind of” friends. I only have a few good friends and lots of “kind of” friends. And in times of need, kind of friends don’t really matter. Good friends, the few who comment on your page once in awhile, matter.
PS – watching facebook will ruin your life. You know this :)

Reason #2,341 that I don’t do the facebook – it makes amazing, intelligent, charming young women like my niece question their cool-ocity. Healthy constructive human interaction is not achieved through poorly punctuated facebook comments. Focus on the real-life relationships; they’re the ones that will last, the ones that matter. You know that.
