A few years ago I walked away from Facebook. Three months later, I got a phone call from my mother (who's not online) because she heard through the grapevine that I was dead. My stupid Facebook "friends" took my silence for something sinister and jumped to conclusions.

I ended up returning to Facebook and purging my "friend" list down to just a dozen actual friends.

Why are they stupid? All of a sudden, with no warning or explanation you stopped posting and responding? If I had a friend like that I might be concerned and reach out to friends or family to see if everything is okay. To me that signifies that they care about you, not that they're stupid. It's not like they filed a police report or anything.

Really? Wow.

I always wondered what my Facebook acquaintances thought when I left.

I figured they didn’t care Id left to give it much thought or that I was being a prick and had deleted them.

Most of my facebook "friends" didn't even noticed I've quit some months ago. For those that ask, I say that it consumed too much battery..
