Is it rude to not accept facebook friends requests from my friends, acquaintances?

[Midnight G.E]

Friends and acquaintances whom I hangout with in real life ? I have personal stuff on my facebook that I dont want some friends to know about . Am I being rude for not accepting their request , or do you think they understand ? I always explain to them why it is that I dont accept them . I just tell them . "I have personal stuff on there. "

yeah that sounds rude think of a better way to explain it, i understand where your coming from but you really need a better way to explain to other people

I feel that it's rude. I get offended when they don't accept.

Why not make another Facebook ID? One for you and one for your friends to share with you.

OH GOD! ITS ONLY FACEBOOK!!!!!! WHO GIVES A F*CK! (not you and your question. its a good question)
no its not rude. i cant believe how personal people take that sh*t! if someone freaks, just tell them that they sound ridiculous and you see them FACE to FACE and thats good enough.
sorry- i just feel really strongly about this.
