Soshalllllllll network shitehousery
Discussion
I try to limit my soshallllll network interactions as far as reasonably possible. But it seems it can go ballistic without warning sometimes. I’m in my early fifties, and my “footprint” is mostly because I have to, because T&C., However, lately I’ve found a f
ktonne of new people have started to request a follow. Some of them are off the back of my support for Yankee cheer athletes, and that’s sweet. If I can help, I will. But I recently ( couple of weeks back) ran into a ex girlfriend ( we are talking 30 years back here). And she hasn’t aged badly TBF. I’ve now had about a hundred requests from god knows who, who might have known me back in the day. I’m not complaining, it’s fun. But fk my old boots, I can’t remember most of them. How do Ideal with it without sounding like a megadick?

You'll never see them and you don't want to interact with them.
What's the issue?
The problem being that I ve recently come back to an old stomping ground. It seems I ve moved on, they maybe haven t so much. That s cool, but I m now having to balance a professional image with a lot of slightly not entirely compliant history. It s an interesting problem. I have got fWhat's the issue?

In my case there were one or two people that I had to stop contact with - we were just in a different place, had nothing in common anymore as our outlooks had changed and for me I found as much as it pained me to admit and realise, that friendship was doing me more harm than good and /or not getting anything from it anymore.

I've had / been in a similar position. LinkedIn for professional network. Others for social. And you simply don't accept new requests from anyone you don't want to talk to. It's not hard.

That sounds about right. It’s balancing binning not happening with stuff that might work. It’s confusing to say the least.In my case there were one or two people that I had to stop contact with - we were just in a different place, had nothing in common anymore as our outlooks had changed and for me I found as much as it pained me to admit and realise, that friendship was doing me more harm than good and /or not getting anything from it anymore.
OP -with all due respect this sounds like the kind of “problem “ that teenage girls have.
Do you have a desperate need for friends? Do you need to be “in with me in crowd”? Do you feel validated by the number of “friends “ / connections that you have?
If you like people click “accept “ if you don’t like them click “ignore “. It’s that simple.
