Do your feelings get hurt when someone denies your friend request?

Me personally It doesn't matter to me one way or another. If they except it cool if not I keep it moving. Don't let something as simple as a friend request get you down, when you have so many more out there that would love to be your friend. just look at it as their lost..Good luck...We can be friends if you like :)

I haven't had this happen in Mylot, I don't think, but mainly because I don't request many friends on here *laugh* I'm really awfully shy and would rather that people approach me. I did request a friend today that I was kind of nervous about and was so relieved when she added me to her list *laugh* But I am so sorry that anyone woudl reject you on here :( I honestly don't understand why! I really like your topics! ^_^ Anyway, I have had a friend request rejected or ignored on things like Myspace before, and that really did confuse me. It wasn't like I was approaching a complete stranger, just someone that I had not seen in some years. I really did not get all upset over it, but it doesn't feel great. And normally I am really sensitive to rejection, as well, so I'm just glad that i didn't let it hurt me more.

no i dont take it personally. i just move on no biggie for me. anyways i dont usually ask for people to be my friend anyways.

I haven't been denied yet. However I have only asked a couple of people to be my friend. I am sure at first response of denial my feelings would be hurt. Just remember, because of all the scamming,spamming and cheating, alot of people are being very selective of their friends list. It could be the person feels you are new and wants to see how you grow first. What I would do is just wait a bit. See if you can raise your star rating and if you are still wanting to be friends with this person, try again in a while. I have seen some people post that they often will deny someone new because they haven't "prooved" themselves yet. Hang in there and don't take it personal.

I haven't been denied a friend request, but then I have only made one or two requests. If I do receive one, I doubt I would be hurt by it. Before I accept a friend's request, I like to read their posts to be sure we are of similar minds. Since I try to read all or most discussions started by my friends, I want to be sure we share some interests. There has only been one request I've denied and that was because that person posted nonsense. It seemed she was just trying to get her number up by posting useless topics, giving short and inappropriate responses and sending friend requests to everyone she could. If someone rejects your request, just consider they probably don't feel you have any interests in common or have too many friends to manage. Don't take it personally, move on. There are plenty of other people to connect with here.

I haven't had one denied yet but I don't think it would bother me unless I knew the person well. I have rejected a few requests because I don't see the point of having friends on my list who have no similar interests as me and don't post on similar discussion as I do. I probably would never post on any of their discussions so there would be no reason to be friends.-

This is a hard one really but I have many friend requests and generally I will accept them, more so if I am short of time and just want to get on with discussions. For some weeks I have not been on myLot much but each time I came here I was inundated with friend requests ans so I accepted them all. Now I do have a little time I am trying to sort them out and to do so I check their discussions to see if they have any that appeal to me. Also I check to see what discussions they are responding to and find that many of them have never responded to any of my discussions, so I am wondering why they are asking to be on my list of friends. That might seem strange to some people, i.e. my wondering why the request was made, but it isn't to me. Also as I accepted each one of these friends I also responded to one of theie discussions. So, I wonder have you ever responded to any of the discussions the person has started. That might be the reason, although I am only taking a bit of a guess. Personally I do prefer to keep my friend list on the shorter side because that allows me to respond to their discussions. I don't think that is possible if I have a huge list of friends plus those who have not responded to any of my discussions will end up being deleted. Harsh maybe to some people, but I prefer to have friends whose discussions I can respond to and who also respond to mine, although I don't start heaps of them. So, respond to at least one discussion started by the person concerned, then send off another request is what I would suggest. Good luck and hope it works out well for you. :)

No i don't as I always check the Profile first before I accept, if they are not of Interest then I will deny them but it has nothing to do with the Person. I have had some and they just would not respond or anything so I deleted them so now I am very careful on my Choice lol. So do not take it Personal. I accepted you lolas as I liked what I saw so them that deny you don't know what they are missing

i always feel bad about this, its why i dont ask to be added anymore . I just wait until people ask me , generally if i have something in common i will then add them. However i would not worry about it for two reasons, 1 it is their loss , not yours and 2 maybe they have just too many friends to service. I like to try to answer all the discussions my friends start, but sometimes it is hard. Yet, still it stings when you get rejected, i know the feeling. good luck to you, keep on keeping on

I've actually only sent one friends request, come to think of it. I don't know how I'd feel. It's not something I ever really gave much thought to. No! Wait! I sent two. But the second one was to an actual, RL friend who I referred to the site.

You should not take it personal. Many people just have said they have too many on their lists and arent wanting them that large.You will still find many who will accept your friendship.

It doesnt hurt my feelings much, if they want to act like that and be picky about their friend list, then so be it...I personally am not that way.

Not at all...if they don't want to be frineds with me then it's ok..they have to chose their friends...thing i do too

Hey, no heart feeling, that's the game here. If someelse don't accept your friendship, try another person. Friendship or no friendship, iife most go on!!!!

I've only made the offer twice to people I really thought I'd like to have for friends and they did accept. I think I would have probably winced a bit if they hadn't. In fact I have several pending requests that even though I can't see any reason for them to want to be my friend, I can't bring myself to press the deny button. After reading your posting I think I'll go and approve them. UNLESS I see they already have over 1,000 friends. Those people don't really care and won't miss me. I've taken a few of them out of My Friends and I don't feel bad. They're just not that sensitive nor are they really looking for friends. They just want people to read their discussions.

in mylot i didn't try to get a new friend before but in normal i don't used to send a add request to anyone that i don't know .. but i don't care if hr accept or no .. because this is his mind .. we shall be a honest people

I never ask anyone to add me to their friends list - it's more likely someone requests me to add them to my friend list. So basicly i cant say what do i feel but if i would want someone badly to add me to their friends list i would get sad about it and maybe angry if it would be for a stupid reason but cant say for sure :) but i would never take it personally :)

Thank you for choosing me as a friend. I am always flattered when someone responds positively to my thoughts and ideas. I am particularly pleased when they are not anywhere near my age group. That means that I have the ability to reach beyond my own peer group and influence the way others think. To me it is an honor to be invited to join someone's inner circle, and I want to know what it is that I said that influenced your decision to invite me. As others said there are many reasons people would reject your invitation, and I would not take it personally. Your topics are interesting and I know I will be responding to several in the near future.

Eh, not really. I can't say that I've attempted to add that many people, and I can see why some people don't necessarily want EVERYONE to be their friends. THen it would become a pandemic like facebook and everyone could know things about you that you didn't necessarily want them to, and it becomes stalker-like. Personally, I dont' mind people adding me,but I will look at their profiles first and if they're fishy I deny, or if they look perverted, because I've already seen that on this site, too.

I think it's ok for someone to deny your request if that person has a certain reason. Like if a girl just wants girls in her list or a guy just wants guys in his list. But it is mean to deny the request for no reason. I think this user is a wonderful person and she always receives positive ratings, so I think everyone should welcome you to their friends list. I like your discussion topics, they are all very interesting. Keep posting more :)
