I got myself a facebook account..so I thought I'd add a girl I used to be friends with in primary school..she accepted my friend request, must have looked at my profile and deleted me...I know its only a stupid site..but why do I feel so hurt...I can't even get people online to like me!!

I feel like a big freak now! :cry: :cry: :cry:

She's only 1 person. I wouldn't worry about it,Emma.

I guess that ideally,if something like this happens to one of us,we perhaps should go to a close friend or relative and ask that friend or relative if there was anything there that would have turned someone off or if there is anything about us that turns people off. That way we can learn and improve from the experience.

My guess,however,is that chances are she just is a jerk. To me,it's just rude to "undo" a friendship "thingamobobber" like that so she almost certainly is a jerk.

I hate Facebook because it just feels like it's ALL about how many friends you have, and I barely have any, and those I do have are mostly people who I know online (which is probably obvious since they live all over the place and none of them are in my area)... And nobody ever writes to me. I should really just get rid of my account because all it does is makes me feel more inadequate... The only reason I have it is so that I can see other people's accounts, but it just gets depressing:p

I like Myspace better because I have fun making my page reflect me and what's important to me... and I feel like on there even though I have few friends I can still be somebody, because it is what I make it...

I think I must be too old, I fail to see the point of Facebook and Myspace. I just don't get it. Why tell the world what you are doing the whole time, who wants to know except you. I just don't get it! Like blogs, I just don't get them. :lol:


Peace xxx
 
At least you are brave enough to make one and request people ...

I'm too afraid to feel even more unnoticed and pathetic than I already am, so I can't even bring myself to make one of those profiles.

I can understand why you feel like you do though.. People are such jerks. Just try not to let it get to you too much. A decent person wouldn't do something like that, so you don't need a friend like that anyway.

Same here, I feel stupid, everyone else has hundreds of friends, I have hardly any...but I wonder, how can people have hundreds of friends anyway...are you just supposed to go around adding people that you might have only spoken to once, and call them a friend?

I spend most of my time on there switching profile pictures and writing notes to myself :oops:

This girl at school said I should make a myspace, so I did. I added her to my friends list and sent her a few messages and comments. She replied like twice and then never messaged me again.

Eeyupp....that's how it works. :) Actually,many people will ask to be a "friend" even if you have never talked to them before. The word is meaningless on sites like Youtube,MySpace,and Facebook. In my own case,I'm on Youtube and I comment a bit there and I get friend invites based mostly upon my comments I guess. For example,I just said 1 little word to a 14 year old kid and he apparently found it so hilarious that he invited me to be a "friend". :wink:

In 2 other cases at Youtube I'd never talked to two Chinese people and I wanted to talk to them because one seemed nice and the other interesting and I left them each a quick note about how I was looking for some mainland Chinese people to add to my list and talk to a bit and they are now on my "friends list". (it's hard to talk to mainland Chinese on the net to learn about life behind the "bamboo curtain" so when I saw them I jumped at the opportunity to ask them. :wink: )

For best results in accumulating "friends", it would seem that a cool,sexy name along with a sexy photo is most effective. Then people will gravitate toward you and you can have lots of fake friends and then pretend that you are really,really popular. :lol: If you pick a name like...oh...say...."Blondie"...and then have an avatar that shows a sexy,blonde gal,then you'll get lots of "pretend-friend" invites. :wink:

its mainly just so people can share photos really,...thats the main reason i use it coz im never the one who had the camera lol i wouldnt feel bad when u dont get comments, coz its mainly like 'oh i know them add em' rather than omg i wanna speak to this person!!!! loadsa people have addded me more than ive added them, and they havent said anything to me, but obv wanted to be my friend. its no biggy.

and fairy, even tho i have a facebook, i dont really see a point either lol

on SAUK they did a facebook thread, everyone added everyone else so that people looked like "billy-lots-of-mates" I guess then you could look up your school freinds and look incredibly popular?

oh god facebook - i just made one but i have no idea where to start, i looked up people i used to know and they all seem like jerks.
Its annoying, the people who would add me have mega amounts of friends, imma have a good 5 compared to 200+

so yeah it is all about friends.

I just don't see the point of facebook. Sure it's nice to 'pretend' that you have lots of friends but I think I'll stick to making friends in real life.

I feel there is much more to gain that way than having facebook friends.

Say, whatever happened to MySpace?x

Hey i know how you feel. just noticed that 7 people have deleted me.
feelin really shit about it, cant help but wonder why. especially when, in some cases, they deleted me and not other people from high school. it's like 'sorry for not making your 'cool' list'. they were the ones who requested 'friendship' in the first place, its a bit wtf. i realise i gotta let it go but never hvin low seld esteem makes it x10 harder

I have a facebook account, but I rarely use it anymore. Sure it's nice to be able to find old and current friends on there, but other than that, it's just a way for people to advertise themselves.

Who really cares how many friends you have. Some people need that satisfaction in life. Don't be one of them.

I just made a facebook last week. I invited 7 of my good friends to be my facebook friends. A couple days later I start getting friend requests from people from high school I didn't even talk to. These are the same people that have hundreds of friends. Some people are just stupid and are in to this kind of stuff, I don't see why anybody should honestly care.
