[Cadaverous Pallor]

I get easily stuck on the labels for things. The fact that they're called "friends" means I find it very hard to friend people who aren't actually my friends.

When the first wave of high school acquaintances found me, a girl whom I had classes with but never was truly friends with friended me. I thought, sure, and added her. Then more started coming in and I realized my mistake. If you literally never spoke a word directly to me, I might not hate you, but you are not my friend. The clincher is that these people don't want to MAKE friends with you, they just want to up their friend count. Not surprising, coming from the popular kids. I eventually unfriended that first non-friend and am sticking to my interpretation.
