“It’s eerie to watch
the life of someone
youoncereally
loved unfold on such
a small screen”

ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY MEL EVANS
- You often scroll through their
feed to catch up on everything
that’s been posted or they’ve
been tagged in. - You habitually Like all their
posts, even if you don’t actually
like the post itself. - Iftheyhaveanewboyfriend,
or are tagged in a new friend’s
photo, you click into their profile
to get the intel on this intruder
person in their life. - You expect they’ll like all your
posts. If they don’t? To say you’re
offended is an understatement. - You wonder if it would be weird
toposta#TBTpostwiththemin
it. You decide to do it anyway. - When Facebook reminds you
of‘thistimeXyearsago’itsends
you down a stalking rabbithole
you emerge from two hours later. - You know the set-up of their
apartment, even if you haven’t
been there. Nothing suss... - You can’t remember the last
time you spoke IRL, but you do
know their dog just got de-sexed. - You miss them and often think
of the past. Less in a nostalgic
way,moreinanI-wish-we-could-
go-back way. - If you ran into them IRL, odds
are there’d be crickets for convo.

VERDICT:Ifyoutickedafewof
these, perhaps you’re more stalker
than friend. Just give ’em a call
already andigure out once and for
all if you’re still the same kids you
were in high school!
