Do you have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc, etc, etc?
You might have MSMPS.
Don't be alarmed, it is a good thing. Your friends on FB are different than your followers on Twitter and your connections in LinkedIn. At least they should be. The information that you deem to share with the world should be filtered by the social network you post it on. For example, my FB network is mainly composed of my family and "friends", LinkenIn has my business contacts and Twitter, well it is everything else. I decide if something goes on FB and Twitter or just one network.
How to deal with MSMPS.
1) Tailor your profile on each service to the audience but remember everything you put on the internet can be available to all.
2) Don't publish every post to every network, be selective. Use Selective Twitter on FB.
3) Use a tool like Seesmic Desktop or Tweetdeck to aggregate your feeds.
Life is good for now but as new features such as Facebook's Open Stream API are released there will be new challenges to maintain multiple social personas.
