Can my friends view how many friends i have on facebook? ?

[Vinny Bag of Donuts]

I only know like 20 people on facebook and i want to make an account. Now these people i am friends with say they have hundreds of friends on facebook, so i'm kind of emabarrased that i know so few people. Will they be able to see that i only have like 20 other people as a friend, like for example myspace

[andrewlatham17]

yes

[babysunshine13]

yeah sure, but you'd be suprised how many people have it, people you may never have though of might have it...dont be embarrased

don't be embarassed because most of the people with many friends on facebook are "friends" with people they haven't met or even talked to online! Some people think facebook is a social contest or something.
So you can do what most people are already doing by adding a bunch of strangers to your friends list (which I think is stupid)
or
have your 20 friends and be proud of it

yes

[Suffocating]

Yeah, your friends will be able to view how many friends you have, unless you find some way to hide it. :/
Facebook is sometimes considered like a contest. Everyone's trying to get more friends than other people. I have hundreds, but I only talk to a few.
Don't be embarassed about only having 20. I agree with some answers above me, you might find plenty of people on FB that you never knew were on it!

And yeah, Myspace is deeeeaddd.

You can hide the view friends link for people who aren't your friends, but that's about it.

Yes, but you can hide this if you want to. Just go to settings and then "privacy settings" and then scroll down to the friends category. There you can select from the drop down list "customize" and then click the "edit custom settings" link.

A box will pop up and you can modify what friends of yours can see your friends list (using the "except these people" bar on the bottom).

yes they can..
i dont know if facebook still has it, but i put some friends on limited profile, cause they were adding people that I knew, but that only have met once.
