To an old acquaintance/ friend:
Is there a reason you don’t want me as a Facebook friend? I added you and eventually realized that you didn’t confirm me (when I noticed that you recently became my sister’s fb friend, who also added you around the same time I did, but you were still not on MY list). I wasn’t under the impression that you disliked me or anything.
You have 35 friends in common with me, and over 500 fucking friends period, so it’s not like you are too fussy about who you have on fb! I know you remember me, and when I tried to add you a second time my profile pic was a close up of me so you could obviously recognise me (and know it wasn’t some stranger with the same name as me). Again, no confirmation! What the fuck?

Big fucking deal… someone you used to know rejected your facebook friend request. I’ve been fb rejected myself, do I give a fuck? Why are you taking this so personally? I’m sure everyone has been fb rejected at one time or another. And why would you try to add this person again??? Fuck, move on and stop whining about stupid trivial things!
HAHAHA!!! This is the funniest bitch in a while! I love Facebook, the microscopic insight into all these losers’ lives is better entertainment than TV.
We’re not supposed to be friends until the end of our lives with everyone we’ve ever met. Facebook is like virtual high school. It’s as real as the shit we assign to it.
Facebook – where the socially inept go to pretend to deal with their relationships
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Egon 😉
I will never understand why people take fb so seriously. Maybe it was because I was late jumping on the band wagon, I didn’t get the mountain of friend requests from everyone I’ve ever met in my entire life trying to add me. The average fb user has 170 friends- I read this in the Globe and Mail and was kind of surprised as most people on my list have between 200-300. You cannot take that shizz personally! It is a networking virtual high school at worst, and a way to stay in touch with friends around the world at best. Move on … and as a reality check, go through your own list and think about all the people on there that you don’t really know and don’t really like and think about deleting them. It might make you feel better.
I boycotted the face-crack or crack-book for quite sometime,even after getting invites to it. I only signed up for one of the games they have, and I set myprofile so that it doesn’t even come up in searches. I couldn’t care less about a f.b. reject, and it’s only happened because I mistook a person as someone I knew with thesame name.And exactly, not everyone you meet will be your friend forlife. I ditched a lot of my friends, and I wouldn’t expect themto be so offended if I rejected their friend request.
Some people on FB collect people like they collect stamps – I’d say a majority of ‘friends’ are merely acquaintances or ‘friends of friends (of friends)’ or someone they met once – shit, I know people with ‘friends’ that they haven’t even met, for fuck’s sake. The more ‘friends’ a person has, the less I am impressed. I like FB but I don’t just let anyone be my ‘friend’, certainly not some vague person from the shadows of my past. So, o.k., I don’t have 3,569 ‘friends’ but at least the ones I have are genuine. If I were the OP, I’d just forget about this rejection and get a fucking life.
I currently have over 160 fb friends and there’s only about 30 that I actually really give a shit about and THEY were all on my fb since I joined. The rest are former friends, former acquaintances, and current acquaintances. No, I’m not too picky about who I have cuz I have some people I didn’t even like (back in the day) on fb! I don’t talk to them and they don’t talk to me, and I will only delete them if they ever try to start something with me (which I sincerely think/hope they won’t, cuz I moved on and we’re fucking adults now). As for anyone who rejected my friend request, they also weren’t anyone I gave a rat’s ass about. lol.Hellakitty: I have ‘friends’ who have over 800 ‘friends’. How the fuck would you even remember so many people, let alone them remember you to have you on fb?TTFN: “Some people on FB collect people like they collect stamps “. You’re so right! lol. And only a fraction of my ‘friends’ are people I know genuinely like me (and vice-versa).
Hi, I’m the op.You guys are telling me not to take it personally, but I DO! What I’m saying is that this person has over 500 friends and not everyone of them are REAL “genuine” friends of hers, so what is it about ME that makes her click ‘ignore’? We used to hang out!Also, I only have 57 facebook friends, and I’ve tried to add about 50 people who didn’t confirm me! Like, what the fuck? You guys are all like “Oh, it’s just fb, who cares!”. Exactly… so why won’t these people just fucking confirm me? They don’t HAVE to talk to me! Do they detest me so much that they can’t even have me on their fucking facebook? While they have like 200-500 friends? Fuck, it’s not that one rejection, it’s the dozens upon dozens of fb rejections! I’m growing a fucking complex here!!!
You’re not growing a complex – you have one, sweetcakes. You’d better work on your self esteem or shit like this will torment you for the rest of your life.
Amelie- youve had about 50 people fail to confirm your friend request…not that facebook is a good indicator of your social worth. its not. but maybe the writing is on the wall. 50 people cant be wrong.
I think the OP should copy their bitch as-is and paste it into another friend request to their non-friend. Truth has a way of getting the dialogue going or finishing the conversation… either way the OP gets the closure they simply can’t get posting on LTWWB
They don’t even have to talk to you as long as everyone knows you’re friends? They have hundreds of friends they aren’t fussy about, so why aren’t you one of them? Sweet Mary, wife of Joseph and mother of baby Jesus!Amelie, look back at your post and replace “Facebook” with “real life” and think of how this would have gone down realistically. Like a fly bonking against the window at an elite sushi bar, you’re clamouring for acceptance from a clique that doesn’t really exist. The pain you’re feeling is self-inflicted. You could copy and paste your original Bitch into a friend request message so the rejector knows how you feel, or delete your FB profile and concentrate on real friends with whom you have real conflicts and resolve them with face-to-face conversation. You’re just belittling yourself with this shit.
Why do people put so much stock in FaceBook anyway? Ask yourself or tell yourself, there is a reason you do not contact or hang out with these people in the first place. They are not in your circle of friends, not on “your five”. Half of these people are douche-bags from the past that you did not care about then. Why are you concerned now? WGAF Who Gives A Fuck? People that get concern of the virtual pool of friends on FaceBook are mentally defective and should seek help with that rather than be concerned about who is or is not your friend. Most Health benefits from work do cover counseling. Use your Benefits you are paying for them.
Grow the fuckup. Who really gives a shit about emobook anyway. It’s nothing more than fad past time that will only be replaced in 2 years. Placing any amount of self-worth on emobook is pathetic. Did you whine like this when people refused to trade pokemons with you too?
Although it seems that Amelie (op) was not Miss Popularity back in the day as it’s indicated in 50 facebook rejections, I don’t see why her old friend she was originally talking about couldn’t confirm her. I mean, the bitch has 500 friends and what, 35 mutual friends with Amelie. That’s more than half of her 57 friends! If Amelie and this girl were REAL friends at one time, I think she owes Amaelie an explanation as to why she’d decline twice!
FB is a social network important to relationships as any other social network, virtual or analogue.And John, an entire fucking nation can be wrong… a couple of times over. Ask any Obama supporter happy to see Bush fall.
For the record, my old friend blocked me! And I think at least 5-10 other people did as well. Not Impressed… fucking assholes!
