So I have 27 friends on Facebook (I know, I'm a loser) and out of the 27, only 5 of them are my actual friends. The rest of them are people that I've seen at school, and the majority of them I don't even know. How many of your Facebook friends are you friends with in real life?

Hmmm. I think I have 300 something friends on Facebook, around 50% are my real friends, 40% are family, and around 10% are people that I have known from school or previous work. I don't accept friend requests from people that I don't know, and from people that I have seen or met, but I don't really know, and would not like to know. LOL. I keep it close to real friends and family, so that whenever I check my facebook, I really get updated from people that I actually care about.

My husband and I have family that is spread across the country...many of them we don't get to see very often...so Facebook has brought all of us together. I'm not sure how many friends I have but I know all of them personally. Technically, I have not met a couple of them in person because they are internet friends but I've known one of those for 20 years. The others are either family or people who live in my area who I know.

I'm actually friends with a lot of the people that I'm friends with on facebook. Am I best friends with them? No. Some of them are mere acquaintances or family members. But a good number are definitely people that I've talked to enough and that I'm close enough with to be able to call them my friend.
