How I did it: I had too many people on my Facebook that I didn't know that well... There were people from college who didn't talk to me back then and would probably not get it in their head to start doing it now.

I had to ask myself, why do I keep them there if they're not really friends? Why do I keep people who make me feel left out?

I kept comparing myself with these people and it was far from helpful. I feel a lot lighter now. 30 heavy people off my Facebook stream just like that. Brilliant!

Lessons & tips: Don't feel bad for deleting people! I did at first, until I realised I won't miss them and they won't miss me. Besides, it's just a stupid website...

Do it for your own sake.
I didn't remove any of the people because I was angry or held a grudge against any of them. They're all nice people, but they're not close enough to be "friends". They put stress and pressure on me with their pictures and writings.

Now I can focus on what my true friends write on Facebook instead.

Resources: Just my Facebook account, some redundant friends and determination.
