Sociologists tell us that the average human can handle about 110 relationships.
Facebook tells me I have 187 friends at Belmont, 102 friends in Nashville, 37 friends at MTSU, 33 friends at Franklin High School, etc., etc....
I guess this clearly means that I am super-human. Either that or that sociologists lie.
Or maybe it's that we as a society and I as a person am going shallower and shallower with more and more people. I've noticed something about myself recently. When I'm talking to someone in a place full of people, people that I potentially know, I have a hard time consistently looking that person straight in the eyes. I am constantly looking over their shoulders for the next person I recognize. I can't even focus on the conversation I am having with the person right in front of me. I am a victim of a fast-paced, myspace friend world. Tis sad really. I'm gonna have to work on it.

It happens I guess. But I can see no harm in making friends online as long as you can concentrate and give ample time to your old friends. Good luck and no need to worry.
