After realising that I was showing my friends list to everybody on Facebook, I decided to take control and hide it from anybody other than me. This was necessary as there may be people around who could pose a security risk for my friends and family. Nowadays people have a tendency to send friend requests to unknown people, just to increase the count of their friends list. So to prevent all those things, Facebook provides a very simple way of hiding your friends list.
