I abandon Facebook for weeks, sudden I have 20+ friend requests from my Muslim 'friends'. I feel uncomfortable. I feel like rejecting them all. Then again... that might be rude... I've never spoken with any one of them. Yet somehow, half of the students in my school knows that I exist. Awkward... They have the rights to know my sexual orientation at this point. Seeing that homosexuality is against their religion. Because I awkwardly believe that they want to be more than friends. I could always reject all their requests, but I'd then be revealed as 'a silent douche'. Or I could accept them, and they'll swarm at me the next day, again. At least they state that I'm cute. Will take that as a compliment. But if I come out to them, they'll be going 'ew' instead. ... At this point, I see no point in making this post in the first place... Since this is a personal issue, and that I should solve all my personal problems personally. But I can't help it. Can't find support from anyone irl, so, EC community.. What should I do?? :bang:
I would accept them. If you feel uncomfortable later, you can always ignore them or unfriend them or whatever. I've read some of your other posts, and it sounds like making more friends (or a boyfriend) would be good for you.
I would say that its up to you if you want to accept there friend requests. You should never be pressured into adding someone or feel guilty denying them. I only add people who i feel comfortable seeing my photos and life. I see no point in adding someone who you never talk to but like i said its all up to you on how open you are on social media and i don't mean about sexuality.
You can accept them and hide whatever you don't want public. I get friend requests from people in my dog sports that I've never met and I just put them in a separate group. i almost always accept friend requests and vice versa, but I sent out 6 requests last Sunday and no response from any! I suspect that I've already friended all my "active" fb friends and these 6 are not on much. At least I hope that's what it is.
Don't accept them unless you truly like them regardless of their religious beliefs. They have no right to be your facebook friends if they make you feel uncomfortable. I don't like to play around. The only people I've had to remove from my facebook were those I had never met face to face. One time, this undergrad student intern sent me (I was a graduate student) a request, which I accepted, but then she limited me from seeing anything. I wasn't even able to search for her. So, I just dropped her because I was so mad. So, just ask yourself: does this person seem like someone who can respect me and not be a jerk if they ever found out? If not, then don't try to pretend to be friends. It will just make your life miserable.
Nope. They all make it clear that they're disgusted by homosexuals. And it hurts me to hear them spew out those certain insults in the background. I'm certain that they'll make my life harder. My choice here is clear now. *cracks*
