[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently lost my mother and shared this on Facebook.  I got lots of[b] very nice responses from close friends[/b] as well as other people who rarely comment on my posts.  It was really nice that so many people came out of the woodwork to express their sympathy.

At the same time I was disappointed at a few [b]"friends"[/b] who frequently post (several times a day) about their wonderful lives, but didn't even bother to say anything in response to my sad news.  I am talking about friends who will comment when I have a great photo of myself ("Wow you look great").  So I know these people are definitely "following" me.

I am so tempted to unfriend these "friends."  To put it in perspective, there are only a couple I can think of, and these are the narcissistic daily posters sharing each and every experience they have in their lives.  So I think I get it and maybe should feel sorry for them.

Just a rant...thanks for listening.[/quote]
OP, you've already answered your question (or rant) by categorizing responses from "close friends" and "friends". Your close friends are the ones that exist in real life and on FB.  They actually care about you.  Your "friends" are just FB friends and probably have tons of other FB friends and don't have time to comment on every post, no matter how sad or important it is.

Focus on your real friends who will be there for you in the real world.  Facebook isn't a place to look for condolences so I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you.[/quote]
