Friends?
Today, on Facebook, I realized I had over 500 friends. I told my one friend and she changed her status to, "How can Dan have over 500 Facebook friends? Nobody even likes him." It got 42 likes and twenty comments that basically said, "Agreed." FML

Clout chasing
Today, to give the illusion that I have friends, I wrote an outrageous status on Facebook, and then pretended it was the result of a friend hacking my page, all in the hope that it would get comments, likes, or at least some attention. Nothing happened. FML

Campbell River, Canada
Today, feeling in need of a self-esteem boost, I took what I thought was a good selfie and I put it on Facebook. Out of 500 friends, the only response I got was a picture of Saddam Hussein with the caption, "This is why I bomb people." FML

So you don't like your own posts? Remember, the first step is liking you(r Facebook posts).

Liking your own status is like giving yourself a high five

Get outside dear! Smile randomly at people who look down. Go to the library and escape into another world with a good book. Sit in a park ( weather permitting) and let time slowly drag by as you relax. There's so much more to do in life Xxxx

A lot of people let their self confidence ride on what others think of them. Likes really isn't that much different. When someone agrees with you or finds you smart or funny you get a boost. The likes are just a way people are doing that. Part of growing as a person is realizing how much self confidence is based off of others reactions to you and learning to not make what others think of you as important to your self image. We all go through it in one form or another whether we want to admit it or not.

That is very immature, and, actually, quite contradictory.

I prefer using AIM since it's less mainstream and i'm a hipster.
