adding friends?

Why would you randomly accept someone adding you if you dont know them..,and why would you chat with them? creepy! lol

I only add friends I know. I don't see any reason to add people you don't know because the cons of doing so definitely outweigh the pros. First of all, artifically boosting your friend count by adding random strangers will only deepen your insecurities. Instead of presenting to others the real you, you are just projecting what you want others to perceive you as because you don't think people approve of you if you hadn't tried to be something that you are not. You would not be solving anything by padding your friend count, but instead only make it worse because you've created more problems. Not only will you still be left not having the amount of friends you want, you'll have in addition to that the worries of being found out by others as an insecure poser. It's much better to be authentic-- to portray yourself as you really are, even if what you really are is lacking friends. If you want to make more friends, a better approach to getting what you want would be to shift the time you spend adding strangers to doing things that will actually work in the long run. Like talking to people in person, making yourself more interesting so that people will want to get to know you better, or reconnecting with people you have not kept in touch with. Second, be very hesitant when accepting random strangers' friend requests. Everytime someone I don't know tries to add me on facebook, the first question that pops into my mind is... why the hell do they want to see my profile when they don't even know me? that question then leads to other questions like "is this just a fake profile made by someone who really does know me but is too much of a wimp to add me with their real account" and "are they gonna try to use the info provided on my profile to steal my identity?"So yeah, adding and accepting strangers on facebook is a big no in my books.

I add them both, the old ones and the new ones, because we are here to make new ones and sometimes i chat with them, to know him \ her better, actually many of my friends here in my lot are new, i don't even see them yet in person,few old friends in mylot like my family you can only count it in your hands, even in my friendster, i have my new friends there, most of my old friends are there in my friendster like my relatives, classmates, friends.

hi denise..the main thought of me joining mylot is to make new friends and share my ideas.even though i will wait a while to chat with them...i accept them as friends and send messages.i think it is ok.i like making new friends.
