How do I add my own friends???

Hi @jhodges Welcome to the Candy Crush Friends Community

Are you talking about Candy Crush Friends Saga or Candy Crush Saga?  I see in your idea post you mention just Candy Crush and if that is the case you can add without a Facebook login by logging into https://king.com/play/candycrush with your King account then clicking on the friends icon along the left. Then add by email.

If you are trying with Candy Crush Friends Saga you can only add with a Facebook login.  There is an Idea post open for this you can add to here.
