Pic: Here’s how you can check all the people who have ignored your friend requests on Facebook

If you want to, that is…

We’d like to assume that everyone knows by now that in many cases, a Facebook friendship is far less important than a real friendship.

Seriously, ask yourself this: In the last five or ten years, have you really spoken to everyone that was in your Leaving Cert class or are you still in touch with somebody you met for one night on a foreign holiday a few summers’ ago?

We didn’t think so.

No matter the strength of the relationship, some people will still be offended by the rejection of a friend request on Facebook and those people can see exactly who’s been ignoring them, rightly or wrongly, to channel that hurt even more.

It’s simple, really.

Go to the friends tab on your Facebook profile page and click on friend requests…

… under the line, respond to your friend requests, there will be a link in which you can view your sent requests and it is there you can see all of the people who, it seems, just don’t want to know you, or just don’t want to know you on Facebook at least.

Unless it’s a close friend or someone you know very well, we wouldn’t get too hung up on it either way.

That said, if you went to the trouble of checking it in the first place, you’re probably in a whole world of hurt right now.
