It also reminds you at the most inappropriate times about people either via "people you might know" and other annoyances on whom you should be connected with. These unwanted reminders can certainly create unwanted distress.

Absolutely. But I was just making the point that what they were describing wasn't a case of it forcing them to friend those people.

Yeah, force might be a strong word but I think for some it indeed creates social pressure and fear of repercussion if they dont friend people they "should be" connected with because of social structures, etc.
