fb situation

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

This person i have never meet before sent me a friend request and i was nice and explained i am sorty i dont remember her i guess there are two types of people

1 to keep up with irl frirnds and family they cant see in person all the time

2 to make new friends

I am type one all the way i dont get as many notifications but it not cloged either its stright to the point of what i care about

Im type 1 as well. I join Facebook groups for professional reasons, and I get alot of friend requests from people in the groups. I tell them I will interact with them in the groups and on messenger but I dont add people as friends unless I know you in real life and even then I am very selective of who I add. Right now I have about 35 Facebook friends and I try to keep the number under 40.

I use Facebook more to network so I have 1700+ "friends" on there. Sometimes it stinks because I miss what my real friends post since my feed is clogged up with other people, but it doesn't really bother me that much. If they want to show me something, they can always tag or text me!

And type 3 - those who just want to have a large "Friends" list.

Why reply at all? Random friend requests can come from anywhere - just ignore them.

Because of the friend we share if i would have just ignored her she would have taken it the wrong way the way my mom explained it think teenage harmons in a adult body

This is why some people create two FB accounts, one for their hobbies and to meet new people, one for their immediate family/friends.

I ignore requests from people on Facebook I don't know.

FB "suggest" friends and a lot of people will then send a request based on the suggestion.

I simply decline requests from people who have no connection to me or to friends who I am close to.

No explanation is needed for declining a Facebook request. I've even ignored friend requests for people I see regularly and don't feel the need to explain why. No specific person is entitled to see what I post on a personal app.

There's really nothing funny about it. It happens all the time.

Think I don’t think that makes you socially awkward at all. I think it just means that you are careful.

Just curious - what is the perceived threat of accepting an invitation to a friend’s home?

It’s fine for you not to want to do it for whatever reason. My question was more to the other poster who seemed to imply there may be some sort of danger, which I think is an unfounded worry you don’t really need.

I am group1 and my husband is group 3. He has thousands and thousands of friends. He never met a friend request he didn’t like lol

You might have to pretend to like their cats crawling over you for hours

I didn’t mean just physically careful, I meant in all ways, socially, emotionally, and mentally. Anything that would make Tink feel awkward in anyone.
