I keep my Facebook circle very small and select. grin So much so that it’s like watching paint dry now that my young ‘uns have lost interest. They moved onto Instagram, but don’t seem very active on there either now that I’ve finally joined.

Perhaps they’re trying to tell me something?

I am deliberately not on Facebook as I don't want to pry into my adult children's friendship groups.
It would be hard (I'm guessing) not to look at stuff if linked to people in that way.

No, this was a definite Friend request. Others come up as 'people you might know'

I think sometimes on FB you get friends request from people that I think FB suggests to you as they are friends with people you’re friends with doesn’t necessarily actually come from the person.

Our lovely next door neighbour has just sent a Facebook friend request which I happily accepted. She was at school with DD2 and I know her mum.

I am fb friends with all my children. grin and I am 'friends' with a few of all my children's friends IYSWIM.

However, I wouldn't ever consider sending any friend requests to any others. I think it's because I assume they wouldn't want to be friends with someone like their mum. I would, however, happily accept them.

Am I being silly - does anyone else feel like this? Or has lockdown got to me?
