Peeping friends profile

Malaysia
February 27, 2012 11:19am CST
I have a friend, we used to be very closed, for a very short period. Then we were apart, she was dodging me and eventually has no more contact. No specific reason I can think about. For years she went missing, one day I saw her facefook profile in my friend list again. So, I was like checking on her facebook, to see what's going on with her, but I just don't have the courage to give her a call. I feel weird. Is there any specific person that you will "secretly" check him/her out frequently in facebook? Will they find out?

i wonder why you have to secretly check your friend in FB? there are FB walls that have apps that monitor who visits.

Hey bingskee, Is this real? I didn't find out there is an app allow me to track who is view my profile in FB? If you know ways to do that,can you please share it? I find something in facebook's help center, it is stating that Facebook doesn't provide any functionality to do this and also make it a policy not allow other 3rd party apps to do it. See: I can not paste all the content here because mylot doesn't permit any individual lower than 500 reply pasting thing, you can go to face book desk, typing 'who can see my profile' see you should be able to see the context.

I don't really "secretly" check on people but I do look at my friend's profiles and pictures and if there is a friend who I miss a lot and would like to talk to again, I would send them a message on facebook instead of calling.

Yes, I do spy on people on Facebook. There are my enemies, I go on their profile and look at what they say ect.. there are my aquitances, I do it to find more out about them. I do it to get to know people better. I'll be sitting there and think, perhaps I should see what so and so has been doing on here lately. Then, whether they're on my friend's list or not I look them up, look at their wall, their photos, their info ect. Then I leave. I wouldn't call it a bad thing to do, because these people open their info to the public, and what I can see doesn't tell me to much that I didn't know. Maybe something but ussually its the same old same old. Now about contacting people. The girl your friends with hasn't spoken to you in years, well then, shes not a good friend if shes lost touch that long.

I can not be bothered with looking at people profiles or walls.I think that it is pointless, as there are people on there that can put what ever they want and you would never know if it was a truth or a lie.I hardly go on there any more, as I think that it the same old things that people write about.

I personally think that they will not find out what is happening. Because Facebook doesnot have that function. Personally, I do not have specific person that I will secretly check him or her. Actually I will let her know if I wanna contact her :)

Not secretly, I don't develop enough relationships with people. But that few I do, I am very open about, and if I want one, then I go for it. The worst that can happen is they don't like me and tell me so rudely, I may cry, but that bad feeling goes away, and it is always worth the risk of making a great friend. Sincerely and With Appreciation

I despise Facebook. But since I have one profile with it sometimes I log on. Yes, I did check on a few people like my high school teachers and my relatives who I have not allowed on my Facebook. That is all. I feel I have trouble with Facebook's search bar. It makes me feel uncomfortable. So most of the time I just check my own profile and then log off. These days, I don't even visit Facebook much except for my fan page.

No there is nobody I want to check. I am not curious also don't care about who I met once in my life. If we don't have contact anymore there is a good reason for that. Also: talking about those good old (great) times is a waste of time for me. Those times were seldom that great at the time you lived them. Great thing about internet is you can mail/send a text. So no need to call. But if you do so also respect it if that person doesn't want to have contact with you anymore. Life goes on an the fact you think about that person doesn't mean that person thinks about you as well.
