I recently had to make a new FB account to use Tinder. I was hoping to ninja create my FB account but I'm already getting friend invites from family members. I deactivated notifications but I guarantee you this will cause some drama. "Why didn't he accept my friend request ?I he's friends with aunt Sharon! There's no pleasing that selfish prick"

You need to learn how to create an use friend lists, and leverage your privacy settings. You can accept friend requests from people that you have no desire to communicate with and set things up so that you never see their posts and they can only see the posts and information that you allow them to see.

For example I have a list that is just family members. When I want to post stuff that only concerns my family, like for example holiday plans, I set the privacy to that list.

I have my main reading list that I use rather than the newsfeed. It excludes everyone whose posts I don't want to see.

Thanks uba, but here's the thing. I am never going to go on fb. I just created another account to use apps that require a FACEBOOK account. The problem is that people have found it and are friend requesting me which I think will create drama.

If you are never going to use it, then why does it matter? You could friend everyone you've ever known and it would be no different than if you didn't friend anyone.

Cuz FB doesn't stop there. I'd have to get tons of notifications, accept them all and then, worst of all, they'll start messaging me or asking for photos. It's something I'd be forced to manage on a daily basis.

I know, I know, these are some serious first world problems but it's just annoying when you have a family as dyslexic as mine

Seems like a simple solution to me would be to turn off notifications, make a single post saying you wont be checking FB at all. Or at the most, you wont able to check FB much, and if they need you to get a hold of you, they can call/email you about their stupid requests and you'll check at that point. But then again, I don't interact with unreasonable people, so maybe you'd feel uncomfortable doing that.

That's a solid suggestion but they'll ask me why I opened an account then...

Tell them it's basically a requirement to access a bunch of websites on the internet (actually true).

What you should have done from the start is made your account unsearchable and private to everyone (assuming FB still allows that, I don't know, that was like 5 years ago).

OK, I accepted three more requests and then I turned off all notifications and the ability for strangers to find me. But friend of friends still can. That was the minimum. So now it'll spread like a virus. My estranged step mom found me. As did my alcoholic sister in law.

Lol, man I hate this thing

OK, I'm ready to say I needed Facebook to access a bunch of websites. Great idea.

That just says more about them than anything else. Rejoice (if you wish), they're thinking of you!

I'd take Black Adder's advice here.

Solution 1: Kill yourself
Solution 2: Kill everyone else in the whole world

That would be even funnier if it read as step one and step two

craniac, you teach at UVU? That's where I got my bachelor degree. Small world.

I love facebook for wasting time but don't have the energy anymore to be very interactive. I used to put a lot of effort into writing clever and funny statuses and then realized I was just feeding my insecurities by putting so much effort into appearing cool and funny to a bunch of people who aren't paying attention to me because they are to busy trying to appear to be cool and funny themselves.
