I seem to have fallen off the radar...

I will admit I do have a tendency of being a wallflower but ever since I left facebook a few years ago, I seem to have pretty much lost all but a very small handful of friends. People I used to be pretty close to before now I rarely hear from and I seem to be becoming more of a ghost as time passes by.

Before facebook became a big thing, a few years ago, I used to be fairly popular. Now I was still a wallflower back then and would rarely go to social events but I knew half my college and like I wasn't totally left out of it all. My friends used to call me often or text me and if not I would speak to them on msn at least fairly often and we'ld all keep in touch even if we didn't see each other for a while.

Then came facebook which I was a part of for a couple of years. I was still fairly popular but I just didn't get into the whole facebook thing. I would rarely go onto it and post comments etc. I didn't like sharing my personal life on a public space and I preferred speaking to my friends in person rather than online. Also all these people whom I would rarely speak to started adding me on facebook and I was like "I'm not your friend! You rarely bother speaking to me when we see each other in college, why the heck do you expect me to add you as my friend?!". So yeah, i never really liked facebook, I stopped going onto it and then finally decided to delete my account.

Now since then I have seemed to have completely lost contact with the majority of my friends. Now I can't blame it on facebook completely as I myself am a bit anti-social but I see my friends still in contact with everyone else because of facebook and I feel totally left out because I'm not on it anymore.

Now I don't really care right now cuz its the final year of my college and soon I'll move onto a new life but its just surprising how quickly people, even the ones whom you thought were your friends, forget you when you're not in the whole "social scene" any more...
