Are people really that fake on facebook?why would you deny a friend request?

[Donovan]

Some reasons I don't add people or may delete them

1) Don't want to give them access to my personal information
2) Don't want to be embarrassed by some of the crap I put up. For example I wouldn't want my mum or dad to see some of the photos or statuses
3) Often playing facebook games requires friends to play with you so I would mass add people (mostly people I don't know) so that it could help me with the game. Then later on I might mass delete people
4) I might like talking to some people or socialising face to face but more often than not I absolutely hate talking to people via facebook so I might delete them. Especially if their annoying me by messaging me every now and then. For example my best friend from grade 3 would add me and talk to me. Yes he was my best friend but it is now 13 years later and I have moved on. I am not interested in hours of chatting unless he was talking to me face to face. Just the kind of person I am.
5) Some people post some really stupid/offensive stuff on their facebook so I tend to delete those people

There are bound to be more reasons but more often than not it has nothing to do with the individual that I am deleting. More so just for me so my advice is to never take things personally. It is only a crappy website afterall and you should best spend your time talking to people face to face.
