So you want to be my friend?!?

So today I have a gripe, not a huge one, but a gripe none the less. Someone I went to high school with wanted to be my facebook friend, fine I accepted him as a friend. So I go to his profile to check out his friends, see what he's been up to, etc.... (like I do with every "new" friend I get). Well, he has most of the stuff blocked, I can see our mutual friends and his friends but that's it. Why in the world do "YOU" ask me to be your friend then block all your crap???? Why do you do facebook at all if you're that paranoid about people seeing your page? I swear, I'll never understand people like that. It honestly makes me want to de-friend them!!! Maybe his life didn't turn out like he thought and he doesn't want anyone to know what he really does? Maybe he hasn't figured out that no one cares, everyone has success on their own level. Yeah, I don't make a ton of money or have a fancy house, but I have a family that loves me and that I love, that's a success to me!!!
