Have you ever had someone from your distant past show up as a Facebook friend suggestion?

Someone just showed up that I haven’t given a thought to in 35 years or so. We went to high school together, and briefly worked together, but we were never friends. I don’t think we even ever had any mutual friends. I certainly never had any of his contact info, and I currently live 1600 miles from that last place I ever saw him. I don’t have anyone on my FB page that I knew from back then either. The internet itself wasn’t a thing as we know it today that last time we crossed paths. So why the hell is FB suddenly suggesting him as a potential friend add? Do they know he still owes me $50 for some weed he never delivered back in the day? 🤔

Never had Facebook, never will.

Think of it as you paid 50 to see the true intentions of someone who is not a real friend.

You've given Facebook a detail that will make connections through its algorithm or A:I model.

It's looking for a link you respond to.

We usually have mutual friends but fb might have gotten in your head and read your mind. You thought about him but you don't want to admit it.

Back when I had Facebook, people from highschool or junior high who wouldn't give me the time of day would suddenly pop up trying to add me like I wasn't the same person because I look different now, or my rapey relatives would try to creep on me. That would happen more often than not.
