I have, there is this women whom I went to school with. We were never really friends, but she was always very talkative to me when she saw me in public. I think this is kinda of rude on her part as I look about the same as I did back in school. What would you think if you requested someone on facebook and they denied you or never responded to you? Let me know peeps?

Hi Mom, Yes. I experienced being rejected but it's okay. I just assumed that the person who is not accepting my request is busy or not seeing my request yet. but if i chanced on her being active on the site and not responding on to my request, i appease myself that the person does not like to include me in the list. so, it's okay no worries. there are lots of people around to be friended.

Very good outlook I would say. I bet you are worry free in most that you do and happy and healthy too. I really like that in a person.

we always have the choice to simplify things and not put so much attention to negativities. we all deserve to be happy and live a stress-free life. we are are truly capable of being worry-free.

I have encountered this many times. I appreciate those who denied my request than those who never responded at all. However, it makes me think what makes them stay in the marketplace in the first place if they are not willing to work in your farm.

hahaha sorry, i was excited in the farm thing. as to the friend requests, as schoolmate of mine never responded to my request. It made me wonder. It made me feel unwanted. Only ti find out after sometime that it's his wife who's using that account. He then made an account of his own and eventually accepted my request the second time.

I have family members who have not accepted my friendship on Facebook. That really pisses me off. My sister-in-law has accepted my two teenage daughters as friends but not me. Cousins also have not accepted me, but someone who barely knew me from high school over 30 years ago accepts me as a friend. It's really quite weird. I guess people think I will bombard them with all sorts of applications. All I really want is for people to read my Triond writing that I post on Facebook. I also send birthday greetings. I don't even update my status daily. I still think it is rude that my own family members don't accept me. Well, I never was accepted by my family.

Yes I also, think it rude to not acknowledge ones presence. I have never been able to understand what makes people this way. someone requests my friendship on any of these spaces I at least acknowledge that I received the invitation.

Several have already said it but it bears repeating, so here goes, Don't concern yourself with this type of people. and it may be they are like me and don't get around to facebook as often as they would like. I sometimes go for a month or more without checking in on Facebook, then I get a notice that one of my friends has done something and I log in and see what's happening.

It depends. If that person is important to me like they are my classmate before that became closer to me and denied my request I will be really affected. When that person is my crush and I am really eager to be his friend and I get denied because he don't know me I will feel frustrated, but I do not have a solution to that , since that is his decision. I will try to request again to be one of his friends and if I get denied again I will not try anymore. For some people that I just want to be friends with, I am not truly affected if i get denied. There are just people who seem important to me that I feel hurt whenever I was rejected.

i have never get back to friend request or wait for them to response. i just look at the alerts when someone i requested responded or accepts my request. i don't think everyone has a lot of time facebooking, like you and me have.

I have had family and friends finally respond, but it would take a long time. I have a sister-in-law and it took awhile for her to accept my friendship, and I am gload she finally did, as I haven't seen her or talked to her in years. We live in different states, and so are my nieces and nephew. It took time for them to accept too, but they finally did, and so did my brother. It is always nice to be able to chat with family even though it is only on a computer. One of my nieces will be moving close to me, and I will be able to see her sometimes too. I really like facebook, but I am not on it everyday anymore, but I do go on it once in awhile. Take care, and happy mylotting.
