If they, or someone else close to you, doesn't inform you of a major life event like that outside of Facebook, maybe those people aren't anywhere near as close

If they, or someone else close to you, doesn't inform you of a major life event like that outside of Facebook, maybe those people aren't anywhere near as close as you believe them to be.
- platz 10y agoSo your policy is to trim as many of your loose acquaintances away as possible? I was under the impression that having loose ties is important for various reasons in life, assuming they aren't taking up significant mindshare with non-essential things. (Then it's not really a 'loose tie')
- dikdik 10y agoIf it's a loose tie, it's not a big deal that I don't know about their big life milestones. Sometimes I hear through the grape vine, but if not then the next time I see them we have a lot of catching up to do! Would rather offer congrats in person than write a generic message on their social media wall.
