Are you friends with yourself?

[norwich36]

This particular poll of randomosity was inspired (a) by toadstoolsmiles magnificent confidence in her own self-love (if you don't know what I'm talking about, go here and here) and (b) looking up a couple people's profiles today and noticing they had themselves friended.


[Poll #1043523]

And if you would friend yourself, assuming you were a different person friending the person you are now, why would you friend yourself? Please take this as an excuse to talk about how cool you are in the comments.

Self-praise: it's the next best thing to sex with your own clone!

I wondered about that once, if people were doing it to "up" their friends' number.

Someone then explained that it's easier to see one's own entries on their fpage rather than having to click back and forth between friends' and self-page.

So, yeah, I shamelessly upped my friends' count.

Hee! I don't think it's really shameless, though. I just didn't realize how widespread a practice it was.
