Complete disaster

All my Skype contacts and past chats have disappeared. New version wants to use my contacts to find and invite people to Skype. I only want a fraction of those people to have access to me in Skype. I may not even reconnect with the ones I used to be connected to - there are other apps that can give me the functionality I had. What a waste Microsoft, what were you thinking?
