mine do. i can't away. the figure because i turn of the phone and don't answer my door they can stalk me on facebook. yes, i was trying to avoid my sister in law. i will admit that. i left my settings to chat on on accident once, and poop! there she was messaging me. i was busy doing my work online, but i also just wanted to take a break and play some games. i didn't wanted to be chatted to death. do any of you have this problem where your family and friends stalk you on facebook?

Both my parents wouldn't know how to register on Facebook, they don't have access to a computer and they are elderly, my ex is computer illiterate, the only friends I have on Facebook is ironically people from Mylot! I don't see my other relatives so that in itself is not a problem. I keep my Facebook private and have about three or four friends, it's so much easier that way. You can turn the chat off, and I am sure you can adjust the settings so you don't get interrupted!

Stalk me? No! My BFF is usually on when I am and we remark about comments we share and such. If these people are stalking you why don't you just them you are working and then ignore them. Not being in the mood to chat should be respected and as long as you set down some boundaries with people there shouldn't be a problem.

I don't get stalked by anyone on Facebook. Sorry to hear this is happening to you now. Its not easy to say no to relatives.

I am sure that my family and friends would only look on my face book page just to see if I had been on face book and to see if all was well. I am sure that there are some people out there that do take a keen interest on other peoples lives, but I feel that there are people that just do not worry what others are getting up to.

My family and friends do not really stalk on me but I turn off my chat everytime I am online at Facebook. Coz, I also feel not chatting with anyone sometimes. But I wanted to chat to a certain person, i just send them a private message instead.

I fear family stalkers. That is why, I never added them to my friend list. My original profile has been set to private since day one and I never ever changed it. Nobody can find it through search. Only if someone asks me if we can be friends I add them. Otherwise, it is completely invisible. My big sister is a hardcore stalker. She stalks all our relatives. She told me she could not find me on FB and that disappointed her. She then got more curious about my profile. She tried her best to find me. But it was of no avail. I have problem with her. She criticizes about how people are looking in their photos, what they wrote on their walls and so on. I find this a waste of time. I knew she was going to do the same with mine. Thank God, I never trusted her.

Yes mine doe but I call it as just them being fond of me. Some people do drive me crazy so when I see them on my facebook or something I just don't answer because that is and something that you can do just ignore them and make something up later like I was busy with the kids or cleaning. I tell people I'm always online but that doesn't mean I'm really able to talk to them. I just leave it up.

I don't think my family stalks me, nor any of my friends. I do think they visit my page just maybe to see if I posted new pics or to drop some messages now that I live so far away from them all now. But they do not hound me like that.

My friends and my family never done that to me. In respect to my privacy and to them too. I do things that it should be respected.

Good for me because my parents don't know how to use the computer.My brother is also anti-social lols,so he hardly checks his facebook. He is not even in my contact list except from my cousins.

Only time I get stalked on facebook, is when my relationship status changes. Thats when people come out the woodworks. Sheesh, any other day I get no action....I pop up with a girlfriend & all hell breaks loose!
