Why Would You Like or Friend Someone Who Has Friended or Liked You and 2,000 Others This Week?

With all this "liking" and "friending" going on in the social media space, one has to wonder if that is all reality based, or just a silly game everyone is playing.
Further, some of the things that people like, and some of the people they friend, makes me wonder if their brain is still working are not.
Okay so, let's talk about this for a moment because the other day I was on a smaller social private network, and noticed that half a dozen people had attempted to "friend me" and then when I went to look on their profile page, I noted they have not been there for more than a few weeks, and they already had hundreds of friends.
Interesting, and either they make friends very fast, or they've been able to "stop time" for six months and friend that many people, and therefore they figured out how to master time, space, and dimension.
And if so, what are they doing on a silly social network in the first place? Surely they would have won a Nobel physics prize by now.
May I ask you a question; why would you like or friend someone who has "friended or liked" you and 2000 other people this same week in search of the elusive virtual friend record? It seems to me that people have a very low self-esteem, and they are looking for self validation.
However if this is part of the psychological phenomenon in our society, then I would submit to you we have a fundamental and foundational problem in our society's psyche.
And realize, that it is just not happening here, it's happening around the world.
It seems humans are so utterly in need of this self validation, and uplift in their self-esteem, that we have a terrible problem on our hands.
In fact, it's something that is worth fixing.
It would seem that by now folks would see through all this social network "friending" for what it is, and when we see someone with an abundance of friend who pops up out of the blue one day, we have to ask ourselves; what's really going on here? Did they just win an Oscar, write a best-selling novel, or put forth the viral video heard and seen around the globe this week? What gives? Personally, when I see someone who tries to friend me, and then I note that they have tried a similar tactic with thousands of others in short order, it looks so I really insincere, that causes me to want to have nothing to do with them.
It's not that there aren't some people with lots of friends, and I suppose that is notable, but virtual friends in the digital space who are playing a little networking game in their own mind, are truly psychologically challenged.
In that case, why an Earth would you want to be associated with them? Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it, if you have a legitimate answer please shoot me an e-mail.
