How Can I Make My Facebook COMPLETELY Private? - Michael Corzo - 08-16-2013 07:13 PM
I want to make it so that when people search for my name, i dont come up. I only want it so that only can add people and people can't add me. Almost as if anybody who is not my friend is blocked. And when i comment on friends pictures and they're friend can't see my comment unless they're my friend. Please help me with this and thank you very much

You obviously don't know what you're talking about because other profiles have this. don't answer peoples questions trying to sound like you know everything because you may end up ruining somebody

What you want to do is impossible. Facebook is a social network, so by definition other people can find you. It's possible to set it so that nobody can senda friend request unless you have a mutual friend, and it's possible to change all your settings to "friends only" and it's even possible to limit how much your name shows up in search results. However, it's impossible to change who can see your comments. Whenever you comment on a friend's photo or status, your comment automatically has the same visibility of what you commented on. The only way to send a private message to someone is to actually send it to their inbox or as an instant message.

you can make it so people have to have mutual friends with you to send you a request, but you cannot just completely disable it

the last thing you ask just isnt possible at all, there's no way to hide the comments you leave, you can only hide the notification that gets sent to your other friends when you leave a comment by using the restricted list, but that isnt quite what you wanted to be able to do

in short, facebook is for sharing your activities with your friends and it is not meant to be completely private like you want it
