Do you accept every friend request you receive on Facebook? I decline a lot of friend requests and honestly there are some I've accepted that I probably shouldn't have. How do you handle friend requests on Facebook?
 
No, it's bad idea.
Don't add people unless you don't have any other means of talking to them, it's for the best.
If you have to, share the least amount of information possible on your profile.

N O P E. I only add people I trust and personally know!
 
I have a Facebook account, but I hardly ever use it. My mom uses mine, actually.

Anyways, I would accept them from friends that I personally know.
 
I only have about 40 people on Facebook, I don't use it much anymore and only keep it for people I actually know
 
i have never really used facebook. i have like 5 friends on there from school because we playedhayday together years ago lmao
 
Is Facebook still a thing... Ok lol
Edit: my parents use it and a lot of other people also so rip me :p

Well yeah I use it, I have Twitter but I prefer Facebook to connect with fams n stuff

I remember my friend used to accept every single friend request she got on FB, even though I told her not to. I only accept requests from people I know really well. Like if a family member sends me a request but I barely know thrm, I don't accept it. Only select people get into my little fb bubble:p
 
I don't even accept friend requests from people I know, hahaha! If I don't know them, they get rejected immediately. If I do know them, they just sit in my pending requests for forever so they don't know I've seen it.

Right now I've got pending requests from my mom, my grandma, my aunt, that guy that used to follow me around like a lost puppy in high school, some creeper dude who stalks one of my friends, some more people who never talked to me in high school but for some reason feel the need to friend request me. I've got like 12 actual facebook friends and I used a fake name for the first 5 years I had facebook... I'm too private. Oh, and I also never post anything ever except for an obscure music video or something about autism advocacy like 1 time a year, so they probably all think I'm nuts.
 
If we have mutual friends I may accept their request and ask if I know them, otherwise I just accept those I know irl.
 
I don't use Facebook and never will, therefore I don't have to deal with something like this, so, yeah...
 
I don't use Facebook a lot and don't have a lot of friends, but I only accept people I know IRL
 
I chose to vote that I only add those I know IRL but I also include people I've made really great friends with over the Internet in that as well. I've added a few people I consider true friends from the Internet, but I do have to actually consider them friends first. :)
 
If it?s a mutual friend but I?ve never talked to them before, 80% of the time I still add them. Sometimes they know me from my work circle or something. I rarely update Facebook so I honestly don?t care who sees it. I don?t usually add people I have 0 mutuals with unless I know them IRL.
 
I don’t use Facebook or social media much at all. I have a Twitter account, but it’s really only for the career I plan on having in the future.
 
I only add people I know irl. But I haven?t used Facebook in ages. It sucks
 
i accept it for everyone i've met irl even if we're not close at all and just have a class together or something like that. i feel bad if i see them around and don't accept their request
 
I'd accept if I know and still actively talking to the person in real life. Otherwise, I just ignore.
 
When I was younger I would accept and send friend requests left and right, but over the last couple years I've gone back and removed people who I never actually met, and now I only accept from those I've at least had some sort of interaction with.
