Facebook Friends.

A while back I came to the conclusion that there are two types of people who have a ~LOT~ of facebook friends. We're talking in the 500-600+ range.

Type #1: Legitimately popular, and well liked. This type of person gets along with just about everyone, is seen as attractive by most (in personality, and likely looks), and thus he/she often gets friend requests from other people after only one meeting.

Type #2: Ego, ego, ego. Self-defence. Padding. These people have a feeling of self-lack, and they fill this void by accumulating- in this case the accumulated something is facebook friends. They're the type of person who tends to be quite reserved and standoffish, and often feels the need to throw in some out-of-place comment about something that artificially raises their value during conversation, often something they've just bought. These people aren't trying to be .. searching for word... derived, but they lack an inherent feeling of self-worth, and therefore make themselves feel better by accumulating forms.
