Why won't anybody accept my friend requests on Facebook?

Some people prefer to keep their friendship at work. People have gotten fired for what they post on their wall so they may want to keep their work life and their personal life separate and that is not adding co workers to your friends.

Yes but funnily enough, the last 9 or 10 friend requests I have sent in a row have not been responded to. I don't know if it is a coincidence, or if something's wrong with my Facebook settings. But, like I said earlier, these are people whom I know in real life and have a few mutual friends with.

Facebook was much too chaotic and anxiety provoking for me. I think to much into things, other's behaviors, etc, so it wasnt a positive experience for me. Plus, I witnessed how, multiple people from my youth, whom I remembered to be a certain way, grew up to be mean, or egotistical, narcissistic bullies, and the like. And, that was quite disheartening. I prefer to spend any down-time I have, reading books, listening to music, or socializing here, on WP. I see my loved ones in real life, and that's what I prefer. I deleted Facebook pretty soon, after trying it out, and have no desire to use it in the future. Perhaps you are the sort of person, yourself, who would find, you are better off, without it. I would try eliminating it for a while, to see if that releives the depression it is causing you, and then you might decide that it isn't worth utilizing.

I would be happy to add you on my facebook page.

It would be kind of hollow, though. My facebook page is with a completely fictitious name that doesn't tie back to me at all. I only have the page because it makes it easier to sign in on some web sites and it lets me view local business pages on facebook (why anyone would even put their local business pages on something like facebook is something that I completely fail to understand) without a lot of nonsensical restrictions.

Only my sister knows my identity on facebook.

So if you find my facebook page and send me a friend request, I'll certainly add it.

This thread is 5 years old.

But thanks for your offer. Unfortunately I like to keep anonymous on WP, meaning that I don't add people from WP on Facebook, as I use my real name and everything. It's nothing personal. I just like to keep my Facebook life and my WP life separate.

I didn't realize that this is an old thread. I'm really curious now how I even found it.

I meant no disrespect of Joe90. I apologize if it was interpreted that way.

With facebook, I'm always surprised by how many people use it with their real identities. I would never use it with my real name just for privacy reasons. Using a completely fictitious name seems okay, though.

Since my facebook "identity" is with a fictitious name, I wouldn't object to posting it here, but from what I understand, facebook seeks out and delete accounts with fictitious names.

That's interesting. Most people I know with facebook accounts seem to use their own names. My sister is an exception to that -- she uses a nickname.

After I created my facebook identity and got signed up, I ran across a more interesting spelling of the first name for the account but I guess it is kind of late to change it now. It's not like I can tell them that I had forgotten how to spell my name.
