So far having a houseguest (lilywolfsolomon) has been kinda nice- its a little hard to tell because the first week I was working on my last final and this week their mother is in town to visit them so they've been staying with them at their hotel

With a zillion friends on Facebook, it would be rather difficult for me to notice any exact disappearance. I'm only specifically aware of three libertarian contacts who chose to disconnect in the middle of debates. For more fun, I'm pretty sure they each responded to me in the discussion, but I can't read it because I'm no longer their "friend".
I do occasionally look at the number of "Friends" and think, "Wasn't that higher yesterday?", but I've decided to parannoy myself as little as possible.

I can relate to that particular social anxiety trigger, I think I have a similar kind of trigger myself. I definitely feel very protective and defensive in small groups if they contain my closest friends and then a collection of people they know but O don't. I pegged it as jealousy for a long time but it's definitely something more than that though I couldn't tell you what. All I know is that it makes me very uncomfortable and to want to flee at the earliest opportuinity.
