WWND?
I've had this childhood friend since I was 3 years old. We grew up across the street from each other. I was in her wedding & a couple years later she moved to NC.
At that point, we were living very different lives. I was enjoying my early 20's & she was married, buying a house & starting a family. We started to drift apart. There was a point when I went through a rough time & she couldn't be bothered. We stopped talking after that. It's probably been about 8 years since I talked with her.
Fast forward to now, she's never been on fb, but I guess she finally decided to sign up & requested me as a friend. I don't know if I want to accept her. I'm still rather hurt that she cut me out of her life. There really wasn't a reason. We didn't have a fight or anything. And to be fair, I don't know what's been going on in her life either for the past 8 years or so.
I realize it's just a fb friend request, but would you accept her?
Re: Stupid fb drama ?
I have a friend like this, but we drifted after we were friends on facebook. So I hid her so I didn't have to see all her activity.
If you feel like it is the right thing to do to add her, just add and hide if it will hurt to see her statuses.
Or just reject.
I would accept her, she is probably just curious to see what you're up to and you can do the same and check our her profile. You know how FB is, people request each other but then never even talk on there, it's just so they can see each other's info.
I'm a curious person, so I would probably also send her a message like "wow, haven't heard from you in years. How are things?" That sends the message that SHE's the one who stopped talking to you and she should feel bad.. .haha.
I'm FB friends with a few former good friends and I hide most of their updates and activity. They're all people who stopped talking to me for no apparent reason even when I tried to keep the friendship going.
meh. I don't know what I would do. I'm not a fan of being friends on FB just for the sake of being friends on FB. You're not friends IRL anymore, she didn't care what you were up to until she got on FB..so why now?
i'm a scrooge
Although, once in a great while she'll email a mutual friend. Mutual friend has said that she's asked about me before but never went so far as to ask for any contact info for me. So I guess she doesn't care that much.
I'm conflicted.
