Get the trash can socialism mug.Also known as SDE for short.
A person (usually a guy) who either a) has no friends, or b) shields his friends from others all the time. If you meet one of these people, you won't be making any "friends of friends" through them anytime soon, no matter how hard you try or how many years pass. If the SDE is dating someone steadily, you won't even know her name until after they break up.
A SDE will especially shield contacts of the opposite sex, even if they have no chance with them, for fear their friends will "steal their girl/guy". If they're in a steady relationship, they still shield because a) they're still afraid someone (including you) will try to steal her/him away, or b) the SO is nothing to be proud of (ie a fugly ditch pig or pork chop). When a SDE brings out a contact of the opposite sex, it's almost always an ex, or someone he/she tried and failed to get with. Meanwhile, the SDE will have no problem asking you to introduce more girls/guys to him/her regularly. If you do it's a one-way street.
If you are stuck in a social circle full of SDEs, you must find some non-SDEs on your own, as your friends sure as hell won't be helping in this department.
Engineers and Computer Programmers come to mind.

Ted left all those SDE engineers after grad, and last time he checked they were all still hanging out and dating in the same incestuous pool called "ultimate".
After knowing Vic for 4 years, Sam only knew of some girls he tried to get with, but not by name. At that point Sam realized he'd wasted 4 years of his life hanging with a social dead end.

Dude! You got to get on the Twitter! You can totally get fake updates from celebrities and find out what all your cool friends are wasting their lives doing in "real time"!
No thanks. I'm kind of into the anti-social media. I have some Dickens I want to read before I have my evening gruel. And is there some other type of "time"?

Get the anti-social media mug.Social Media Ghost is an Internet phenomenon that effects only a few people on social media, Internet forums, etc. Social Media Ghosts are people who are generally unnoticed online, thus generally unable to make friends or get replies/reactions to their posts, regardless of the content they post.
There doesn't appear to be a primal reason why some people are SMG, and others aren't.

Social Media Ghost isn’t contained to one website, but the entire Internet. Someone doesn’t have any followers or replies on one social media site or forum alone isn’t SMG.
Although much more rare, it seems to be possible for people who have friends offline to be SMG.
