For more information, read our primer on following and unfollowing on Facebook. From your News Feed Home find a post from your overactive friend, click the arrowhead in the top right to expand the post menu, and click Unfollow.

Now that you understand the basics of how to add friends on Facebook, let's review some finer details of managing Facebook friend requests. Facebook only wants you to add people you know in real life. If your friend requests frequently remain unanswered or even if just one person reports your friend request as unwanted, Facebook may conclude that you have sent friend requests that violate its Community Standards.
To avoid being blocked from adding friends, make it easy for people to recognize you. Here are some guidelines:. In other words: don't look like a fake account, don't add random strangers, and don't be a stranger yourself. You will often want to add a new friend immediately, even though you don't have mutual friends on Facebook.
And it might be more awkward to send a message first than to add them directly. That's cool. Just be sure you don't add too many people without common friends at once simply to expand your Facebook reach.
If you don't know someone, but just want to know what they post to Facebook, and if there is an option to follow them, rather choose the follow option. This allows you to see what they are up to, but your timeline is not shared with them.
When you delete a friend request, Facebook promises that the sender won't be notified. But they might send you a new request. If you can't get rid of them, you can use either the Find support or report offline or Block options, available from the three-dot menu, to prevent further friend requests from that person. Feeling self-conscious about maybe having sent too many friend requests yourself?
Go ahead and double-check. From here you can cancel pending requests. Facebook allows you to restrict who can send you a friend request. Not setting that limit is an open invitation for anyone to request your friendship. If you're receiving too many friend requests from strangers, here's how you can stop it. Your choices are Everyone or Friends of friends.
Allowing everyone to see who you've friended could cause some people to be jealous and subject your friends to unsolicited friend requests.

How to send a friend request on Facebook. How to unfriend someone on Facebook. It gives us a way to connect to practically anyone we want to. But it also has the power to impact our emotions. So many times our highs and lows are based on how many Facebook friends we have and how many Likes and comments we get on our posts. It makes it worse if this is a person who has a lot of mutual friends with you. Try not to obsess about it. Say nothing. If not, say nothing. This may or may not be the case.
