How on earth can someone have over 800 friends on Facebook?

[Bradford]

I have a few friends who have over 800 friends on their Facebook. I don't think they actually know 800 plus people. I only have about 170 friends on my Facebook. I delete people every now and then if we never talk or they post annoying things. I would never want 800 friends on my Facebook because I would feel like I had no privacy or something.

I feel the exact same way. I don't understand the whole concept of adding random people/accepting random people.

I guess some people just want all sorts of attention.

many have the 5,000 max, and you can get there by freinding people you don'y know.

Because they want attention and more likes.

I have about a 400, and i do know everyone i added i would never add someone i do not know, but 800 is just pushing it people just add whoever to say they have the most friends on facebook.

Yeah the people with less friends are the ones who prefer to have privacy and only show their accounts to their real friends. I have over 800 friends (I'm in high school).. and you're right, it's filled with my real friends, family, and a bunch of acquaintances. I don't accept it from strangers though (: I suppose you can just collect those friends over time from meeting a lot of people. It's totally fine if you're not one of those people (like me) who just wants to have a lot of facebook friends

Your question is 'how?'. The answer is 'because they keep adding people'.

They May Know 800 People you Dont know that the only way to find out is to ask the person
