| Not at all how I feel... but still hella funny... |
This past week my boo was recognized by an old family friend of mine - she had never met him in person but she still approached him and said hi because she recognized him from my Facebook... (Please note that I wasn't there when she said hi)
Now... I am the kind of person that will walk in the other direction if I recognize someone I know... not because I'm stuck up but because I am and can be awkward as fuck... and I like to avoid the whole small talk scenario... BUT I will comment and/or like something on your FB because it's from the safety of my computer and/or smart phone...
Also, if you say hi, I am happy to oblige to social norms and exchange small talk...
And I have written about this in the past: I don't have many friends that I hang out with but I do have more than enough friends on Facebook... But how many people can honestly say they really "know" all their Facebook friends...???
And I get it, the intention behind Facebook is not necessarily "real" connection but what happens when some folks do see it that way and genuinely take the time to check in on you and say hi in person?
I talked to some of my friends and family about "FB friends" and it so happened that they have had similar situations where, they'll recognize someone but not know from where- And then come to find out they recognize that someone from one of their social media accounts...
The question remains: Do you say hi to "Facebook" friends, do you say hi to FB friends of friends or do we just say hi later on FB? Or not at all... hmm...I dunno... Curious to hear y'all's input...
That is all,
'Til Next Tuesday,
Toodles
