I have very few relatives and now someone has contacted me on Facebook and I feel very disturbed of it, nothing good can ever come out of being contacted by ones relatives (in my world). I don't have a big family network, and those few distant ones there were weren't any good to have around for all sorts of reasons. I wasn't aware that people can comment on other people's official post on Facebook and now this person have (I tried to ignore a message I saw in my inbox first but it didn't work). I hope I won't be stalked. I feel terrible over this. I always feel threatend if I hear about relatives, more likely than not they're intrusive and non-emphatic, this is how it was in the past anyway. Now some guy wrote, someone I never met and claims he's a cousin of my dad's (but on FB who knows really) and in my world cousins and second-cousins are as distant as the moon. I have no feeling of closeness to any relatives, no recollection of them, don't know what they look like, and don't know how it is to be "close" as relatives. OK, I might have seen him once when I was nine in 1973 or thereabouts, but I have no recollection of it whatsoever. I shut down my Facebook, withdrew all posts and stuff.
