Do people really care that much about having a higher add count? If so, why?
It pisses me off when people randomly add me just so they can have a higher number displayed on their account. You have done nothing notable nor has there been any sort of communication.
Some people I have chatted with also do this, but I never considered them a friend, it was always either shitpost or formal.

I have been questioning myself on why people focus on this so much for a couple months now. So much so, I started to get rid of a lot of people after noticing that we aren't in each other's list to become friends. It's stupid.

I know I can't just assume shit but the amount of times this has happened and went dry is unbelievable
DM FOR MUTUAL is an exception though. Found it funny, though I never had a real conversation with them.

Yeah, I guess that will at least reduce the amount of people.
Don't know how I did not think of that already

I mostly add people I've talked to or seen in game/forum and think are cool or have an interesting profile.
Don't know why so many people just add everyone they see and only talk to them to ask for mutual.

I barely add people just from seeing them or have chatted with. Though, it's not intentional, I never think about it.
And if I did, I would dm them for a mutual which is funny to me now. I only thought they were chill, but I know that the likely hood of being friends is low.
Pretty sure I did this to only one person, which would be the chess and tetris guy

Edit: I have fixed it. Thought there would be more people, but I am at a shock that is wasn't after thinking so hard on the matter.
(I looked at the profiles for a few seconds)

I checked mutualify because of this thread and saw that a guy who made one of my fav maps is mutual now.
Probably saw me following him there because we never interacted.

Personally I got added by people as well, IDK why. Maybe they liked to play with me, and I appreciate that, but in the end they don't talk to me ever again, and I don't find that logical.

To add more information and interesting facts:

It is said that one person can not be friends with more than 50 people. Or so I've heard that. And I think that's true (not like you have to strictly stop at that number IRL), you can't provide quality and profound relationships with a lot of people, physically and mentally it is impossible for the perspective of a human being. Just, imagine trying to keep up 1.5K chats just to say a 'hello' will take you hours (unless using a bot, but you get the point).
To conclude I think it is good to know people you are interested in, because you can't be always with them, some will go out of your life suddenly or over time your agendas will differ. So get out of you comfort zone with people you like.

Note: The 50 number I've wrote on the previous text was added because of a recent video I saw on YouTube, this number was provided by a famous Mexican thinker and I do kinda trust his word.

i don't think too much about it, it's just a number

though it is surprising when, for whatever reason, i add someone and see i'm already on their list

I don't care. If they ask for it, fine. I couldn't give two shits about it.
