Because people have something to hide or be embarrassed of.

@HotMessExpress102 not my reason
HotMessExpress10241-45, F
We all have different reasons... but that would be mine, if I were to hide mine. 馃憤馃徎@SW-User

Idk. This website is supposed to be anonymous but we invest so much of our real selves that we even afford to be ashamed about whom we have as friends here lol.
@Trevo I鈥檓 not ashamed of [b]any[/b] of my friends. But I will protect them from crap I occasionally have to deal with. 馃槥

stalkers and trolls

Because there is a certain person that wouldn't leave me alone on here, and when I wouldn't talk he would go to my friends.

@Sunnykel76 A stalker? Who was that? We don't want stalkers on here.
Sunnykel7646-50, F
@NankerPhelge yes he was very intrusive. I'm not naming names....but he has quit thankfully
NankerPhelge61-69, M
@Sunnykel76 Well, that's all right then. :)

Hmm, for me I guess it's for the privacy of it and the over curious, aka nosy's and trolls.

There are a lot of reasons given, but sometimes maybe it's simply a bit of paranoia for some.

I don't block my FRIENDS. ONLY those creepos who cuss me out, or pretend to be natural and normal, then start talking sex and inviting me to give or get a spanking. Or the people (I've had two lately) who argue with my POV on anything (choice of subject here) and keep telling me "You don't get the point" or "You're stupid" or some such variation. We all have a free choice of who we want to talk to, but someone who likes to deny another's thoughts and opinions is something else.
On EP I once had the experience of someone who was stalking me and making ugly comments go down my friends list and make remarks to some of them. It occurred to me that whom I befriend is really no one鈥檚 business so I decided to stop showing the list.
MaryJanine61-69, F
I started out on EP, and I think I know this person, too. It sounds familiar.
SW-User
Because...
some people are like you shouldn't be friends with that person because blah..blah ..blah..
SW-User
I guess people do it if they鈥檙e a part of 2 cliques here or something lmao

sighmeupforthat46-50, M
why are you sooo interested?
SW-User
I don't know how they feel about me exposing them. Also, everyone else does it, and I'm a sheep.
SW-User
@SW-User fair enough
MenzernaSF400036-40, M
Long ago I played with privacy settings, never touched them again. Lol
SW-User
I haven't yet, but why would anyone want to know who you're friends with?
SW-User
@DefiantHeart good point
Muskie7861-69, M
I鈥檝e seen comments made in the past that I鈥檓 not talking to that person because they are friends with so and so.
SW-User
Because they don't wanna see Howard Stern's butt cheeks
SW-User
@SW-User eh? 馃ぃ
itsok31-35, F
I鈥檝e wondered this before. Most people have them hidden.

The ones who need to know, already know.
