That's very interesting, and I suspected as much. Earlier, I wrote a lengthy reply observing how the people who were so adamantly against Facebook shared certain similar qualities while those who were supporting it had another type, but I decided against posting it because I thought it was too raw and potentially hurtful. But I would also guess that those who take Facebook excessively seriously are also hiding behind a certain persona as well. By collecting "friends" I think they are attempting distort their own reality as well, or perhaps display a successful area of their life to make up for other shortcomings.
