Defriend

It's still Monday here but barely, only a few minutes left until midnight. Before I headed out this afternoon I forced myself to make two phone calls that I had pushed aside for about a week, nothing special. One was to cancel a service I decided that I don't want and the other was to call about a charge on my phone bill. Simple but yet so difficult to deal with. Procrastination.....And since I was in the mood of getting things done I later decided to defriend some people on Facebook that in all reality I don't consider my friends anymore. Maybe they once were but I am a give and take kind of friend.
I believe in giving A LOT and I am very generous. If they need me for anything, I am there. Unfortunately, looking back "being there" for some people in my life turned out to be a huge mistake but that's life. I am still doing good.
But if a person is acting like they don't care, then why should I bother with them? So I defriended a few today, this is the second time I have done that, a while back I defriended some other "non worthy" fake Facebook friends.
I am not the person to collect hundreds of Facebook friends. I mean, do people even know the hundreds and sometimes more "friends" the have on Facebook personally?
I have 49. And a few of those I am not close with I have to admit but I do have some form of connection to them. I guess I could friend request every single person I went to high school with and then friend request all of their friends and end up with hundreds of friends on my Facebook profile too......to feel what? Special? Instead I am thinking about shaving off a few more. I think you can consider yourself a lucky person if you can pick up the phone and get assistance in a life crisis from 49 people. Or somebody that listens to what you have to say. Or even consider 49 people true friends is lucky.
And I don't think I could count on that from all of my 49 Facebook friends, many of them don't even live in the US. But a few of them I have known since I was eight years old and when I do go to Sweden we meet and catch up.
I should probably defriend a few people outside of Facebook also. My problem is that I am a very loyal person, so I stick around. But thinking about it, people that are "too busy" to be a friend are really not worthy of being my friend. And some of these people don't even work, so then what are they doing that keeps them so busy? Sleep?
Watch tv? Nothing? I work, not every day but I do work and take care of all kinds of things during the day and somehow I have never been "too busy" to call somebody back or pay attention to a friend when they needed something. Give and take.
I need to get rid of the ones that only take. The one day when they will need me I am not going to bother with them.
But now I think I am going to get busy with reading some magazines.......
