Ever send out friend request to people you know and then wished you hadn't since they won't respond? I was never on FB much till recently but I started to look up some people I had worked with in past years and I sent them friend requests. So much for catching up.Most won't repond at all.You would think they were worried I was going to show up on their doorstep and stay a month with them and eat all their food or post them all the time.I don't live close to these people and I give people their space and I don't post much but with some of these people I thought we had had a good working relationship in the past. Guess I was wrong.Stupid me.

Sometimes, I will see a friend request, then say "I'll probably get that later" since I'm busy doing something, then forget about it until I got into the actual requests page, which could be weeks or months later.
Maybe I should explain a little more about the nature of these relationships.I didn't work with these people in a regular office job.They were all people I worked with on political campaigns and I spent a lot of time with them.They were both working and personal relationships.
I remember back in the day having a friend list of 200+ people and growing. I wittled it down to 45 people (family and friends) that I actually care about and now Facebook is a whole lot more useful to me than before.

withdraw the requests and move on

When in doubt, check it out: FAQ
There's some random people who add me for no reason. And when I mean random people, I mean bots or fake profiles. In my earlier facebook days, I use to accept friend requests with anyone. Now, not so much. If there's a person who i do not know tries to add me and if their profile looks legit, I would message them and ask them why are they adding me
If it was just one request I wouldnt care but it's several.One of them gave their home phone number after the campaign but now wont accept my request even though we worked very closely.Maybe I made my own bed by not originally keeping in touch with them through whatever means before FB but its not like did anything I know of for any of them to dislike me. A lot of times I didn't keep in touch because in the past I would worry about others wanting to keep up with you when you had moved off to another city(out of sight out of mind I guess you would say).I was hoping that since we were older that wouldn't be as much of a problem and that I could contact them and catch up a little. I think I was wrong and they have moved on. Out of sight out of mind is true I think.

Maybe they don't check FB. Maybe they only keep it for friends they know IRL. Is it really that awful?

These were not random people.I knew each of them from political campaigns where you work long hours with a group of people for weeks and sometimes months at a time.
