Facebook requests from people from the past...

in Sex & Relationships
Over the last 2 weeks or so I've had about 4 or 5 requests from people from school who I either barely knew, didn't know at all or bullied me. One of them even sent me a message with a friend request despite never speaking once at school (I only knew he was from school because of mutual friends). I used to accept these requests (I think I actually deleted 2 of these people a while back when I had a clean out) but now I just decline because I don't see the point in having people who I don't know or hardly know anymore on there. They just add you because fb suggests it/they want to be nosey and then you never speak - people just seem to want to make themselves look popular. Just wondering what everyone else does?

    Ignore them, now. I used to add them but then I wondered why the hell I had people on my friends list who never even knew I existed in school.

    Another option is to create a separate filter list of people who you vaguely know but don't want to have anything to do with. You can control what information different groups of people see about you.

    Yea if I dont know them or like them I ignore them. A while ago I went through my list and deleted everyone I dont talk to or have any interest in. Whats the point in adding them if you dont even like them?

    Well, it gives you the chance to reconnect, or at least connect with them. I reckon it wouldn't be the first real friendship founded this way. Yea, you never really talked at school, but if there was no dislikeability between you, there is no reason not to be friends, be it on fb or in real like, with that person.

    One person did that, but he's someone I was never sure about. Gave him a chance, he never said anything, deleted him.
    I also added someone from school once, because we used to be friends once and in the last year of school (years after the "fight") I got the impression he was regretting it. But no contact either, deleted him too.

    I ignore now. I just did a big clean out, deleted 15 people. I don't talk to them, they don't talk to me. I don't like them etc.

    Ohhh but what if the person who sent you the message had secretly harboured a crush on you from afar all these years and only now managed to pluck up the courage to message you!

    I'd ignore people you dont' like though.

    I don't fancy him though :p that sounds so shallow!! But I never spoke to him before, and don't really have a reason to speak now. So I don't see the point. I'm so heartless lol.
