Yes, it's annoying if your friends don't include you - but there's still no obligation. You're not being forced into anything.
- derleth 14y ago> still no obligation Most people consider social obligations to be obligations.
- SquareWheel 14y agoFair point, bad wording on my end. But social events are not mandatory was what I was after.

Most people would be in serious emotional pain if forced to live as hermits, which is what happens to you after you alienate enough of your friends. Depending on your circumstances, Facebook (and the leaving of it) could play a large role in that.
- SquareWheel 14y agoIf somebody is really to that level of social dependency then it's a choice between being a depressed hermit and having privacy. It's still a choice. Just because one option is more obvious for some people doesn't mean the choice disappears.
