Sibling friending my old crowd

71% Normal
5 Comments

my brother and I are just a year apart, so running in the same social group sometimes came up. however, there's a group of people I really rather not talk to anymore, and I knew them better as friends. I cut clean from my ties with them, and they are not the people who would give a **** about anyone other than themselves..

basically, it REALLY gets my goat to see him friending them on facebook. it's like some sick compulsion, he HAS to add people he barely knew, be it somebody he used to walk by in the hallway in high school or a kid he shared a crayon with in the 2nd grade.
he knows how I feel about this too but he goes ahead and friends them anyway.. IIN?

    Just a thought. You once knew these people, then discovered how they really are and left them behind for better friends. Though you may attempt to explain your views on his involvement with these people, your brother will have to come to the same conclusion on his own and in his own time. As much as it may gall you to do so, be there for him to talk to about them to you so he gets a rounded view from their perspective and from your's. If you shut him out on this issue, then the only one's he has to talk to is, THEM.

    Your sibling could just be doing it because he knows it pisses you off. Show him no emotion towards it. It may piss you off, but he doesn't need to know that it does.

    Your sibling should associate with his own friends, Not people you've associated with. Thats his own preference though, and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Alot of people add people on facebook they don't know and have never even met.
    It's normal, a bit strange but definitely normal. I've had heaps of people try add me and I've no idea who they are.
    I'm guessing people feel more popular having lots of people on their facebook page

    Some people are just social butterflies and crave the attention and company of others, and some people don't.

    I can't stand attention whores - they are more trouble than they are worth.

    If you've already tried to explain to him how you feel, then they only thing left to do is lead by example.
