Darling, I hope my post from yesterday didn’t precipitate any kind of friending/not-friending anxiety... There’s only ONE person ever in the history of my LJ whom I just wished would not even have me on her friends’ list, and I’ve had this journal for nearly four years, so I should just say that I was very, very, very sorely tried and that is the reason I wanted her to just please go away... but I cannot imagine that anyone would feel that way about you!
As for not friending people back, well, obviously I have you friended, but when people friend me, I go to their journals and read some of their entries for a while and I try to feel out whether we have more than just one single interest in common – as you know, I kind of flit from interest to interest, and nearly all my fandom posts are pretty public anyway, so I don’t like to friend people based on a passing interest in something-or-other only to deal with the potential drama of unfriending, because some people take it very personally... I dunno – I suppose there’s no really nice way to deal with it at all, right? Heh!
