Old friends ignoring me on Facebook ?
They probably just dont want others to know their business and maybe felt worried about accepting the request. Some people like their privacy and if you met in school that you weren't close to, or hung out with, maybe they also felt they didnt know you that well to become a friend right away and as time went by after leaving school, it became a lost memory. I wouldnt take this personally. I think some people can change too and since you didnt know them, you wouldnt know if they are going through personal situations, or cant seem to friend people right away very quickly. It takes trust first to friend someone and you just need to build that trust with them first. Let them come to you so there wouldnt be pressured. Accept that you tried to friend them and leave it at that. Its just Facebook. You can always meet up and catch up with things in person too.
Why do people, my so-called friends on Facebook, ignore me?
I love this question. It took me many years to figure it out.Here is the secret:We think that FB helps us know people better but quite the opposite happens - FB helps form a biased and subjective assessment of other people lives to the point that we do not want to get to know them better in person. Even though FB may be a great tool to keep in touch with family and old friends, it is the most damaging tool to make new ‘real’ friends.When I had a FB account I had the same problem. I wanted to become friends with people but they would ignore me. Why? Probably because after they went over my ‘whole life’ in pictures and posts they would come to their own conclusions: Snob, conceit, has it all, etc. That was far from being true - the truth is that I have problems like anybody else, I have wounds, I have fears, and I have the need to talk to people about all those things just the same way they do. But, just like most people, I will never make a public collection of those things in social media, those things are too private and personal to share on FB (I know some people do it).Before moving to a new city, I decided to do an experiment and delete my FB account. Immediately I realized that the thing that made me stand out among other was that I, in fact, did not have a FB account. And then I would mention here and there little things about me like the fact that I had a daughter, that I was married, that I liked this or that, etc. People would start to ask me about my life and find that I am, in reality, not a snob and that I have my own struggles just like they do. Now I have many good ‘real’ friends.Give it a try!
Girl I like is ignoring me, but we're still friends on facebook?
I became desperate and clingy with a girl I like, so I gave her some space. Its been a month since we talked so I decided to send her a text, she ignored it. But we are still friends on facebook. She doesn't delete any comments I leave on pictures or statuses (I don't comment on all of them, just whenever). So, is just ignoring me because she is mad at me? What is going on here?
Why do people ignore me on Facebook?
Gosh, I know exactly how you feel. I rarely, if ever, hear from anyone(especially the relatives). I've written on their wall or sent them a message or two, and I always get a curt response, such as "I am too busy, tired to talk, yada yada..". (and like you, it's not like I am being rude or pestering them or anything). I have considered either deleting my Facebook account or doing a friend sweep or something, so I don't have to see their rude *ss faces anymore.. I am starting to realize that the people who seem to get the most attention on Facebook, are very often the people who brag about their exotic vacations, their lives or their accomplishments (hence the often nicknamed "Facebrag"or "Faceboast"). I am shy and quiet like you, and I am not going to resort to doing that. I figure, if people don't want to be my friend(or at least be polite), then it's their loss, not mine. I don't have anything in common with most of them anyways. You sound like a very nice person, and talented too! I wouldn't let these jerks get you down. I would just concentrate on your real friends and ignore the rest of them.
Why do people ignore me on Facebook chat?
I've been ignored as well - in fact, I've had friends delete or even block me with no explanation given. I even had a good friend from a few years back tell me off just for commenting on one of her pics, calling me "annoying as ****". She apparently doesn't consider that to be rude, nor does she really care. In fact, I'm sure most people would actually agree that she has done nothing wrong. The reality is that most people just don't care about how others feel. It doesn't even cross their minds that somebody might take their actions personally, nor does it even matter. Apparently it's "their problem, not mine." They will give you the cold shoulder if you're even mildly inconveniencing them. I pride myself in having compassion for other people. I don't talk down to others, insult them, or ignore them. I treat people with basic human decency. Apparently that simple concept is lost on this generation.
Is it possible to tell if someone has ignored your Facebook friend request?
"Not Now" isn't used any more (this question is from 2012), but when they did use it, it meant the same as "ignore". The button nowadays reads (in English) "Delete Request":There are three things you can do with a FB friend request: you can "confirm" or accept it, you can deny, ignore, or "delete" it, or you can leave it sit in limbo indefinitely (which is what I do to my random requests from people I have little to no idea who they are). If you delete the friend request, the person who sent it will know, because the "add friend" button will show up on your profile, but if the request is still pending, it will not.
Why do some people ignore your Facebook messages?
Personally, I hate Facebook. I absolutely loath how important it has become to some people. Even a large number of my family members view Facebook as a part of life. Not just their life, but life as a whole. They constantly complain about how I never respond to their comments/likes and ask numerous times for me to go check their shared post as if I even cared…I understand it’s an amazing website that allows sharing of content, friending and keeping social connections; it’s very popular for a business startup to host their website through a Facebook page.It. Is. Not. Needed.Facebook is not a necessity. I wish I hadn't even made my account. I've posted a total of two times in the 10 years I’ve had it.To summarize, if I am ignoring your Facebook messages, it is because I simply do not use Facebook. The rare cases where I do log in, it wouldn't make much sense to respond “Hey” 3 weeks late, only to again not receive the response to that greeting for another month or so.
Should I delete a Facebook friend who was very rude to me when we were kids (and ignores me on FB even though SHE sent the friend request)?
Please don’t take this the wrong way, as I am not holding a grudge, and I understand that people grow up. However, her rude dad is proof that maturity’s not a factor. I am referring to an incident that stemmed from when I was selling my bike for about $25. When my FB friend’s brother and I (both about 12 years old) went to their house for permission, their dad explained the condition of my bike and said in front of other neighbors, “Twenty-five dollars for this piece of sh*t?” Therefore, I’m sure his daughter is still just as rude. I accepted her request, but she never replies when I post a “Happy Birthday” or Hello. I know it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but she appears to be on there a lot. So even though ignoring people on social media is not necessarily rude, I’m sure in her case, it’s a factor to how rude she is in person, thus the following incidents from back in the day... 1. She told me in a laughing matter that her father said he thought I was retarded, due to me saying in ear shot of him, “I don’t get it” to something someone said to me. 2. When I was watching TV with hshe and her little brother at their house, I said, “I have to go now. Good night,” but they continued staring at the TV and said nothing. So I repeated myself, but still nothing. So I ended up leaving their house without either of them showing me to the door. 3. When her then-10-year-old baby sister walked past me on her porch, I said hi, but she said nothing and kept walking.
