Why do people add you as a friend but don’t want to talk to you?

[Finchie40]

They send you a friend request , and you accept it and say Hi to them but they don’t respond? Like why even friend me and follow me if you don’t want to talk?

Because adding someone is easy.

Actually engaging takes intention.

Sometimes people add out of curiosity, boredom, or impulse.

Sometimes they want access, not connection.

Sometimes they like the idea of you more than the effort of knowing you.

There are also people who collect connections for validation, not conversation.

Others wait to be approached because they’re passive, shy, or unsure how to start.

And yes, sometimes it simply means they weren’t that interested beyond the add.

It’s not a reflection of your value.

It’s a reflection of how casually people treat access to others now.

If someone wants to talk, you won’t have to chase clarity.

I'm generally a cold person, I've been like that since childhood. Even in school, I had very few friends. My friends either stopped communicating with me because they were jealous, or because I wasn't their puppet. I actually wouldn't want to be a cold person, but people are so malicious. However, everyone who has met me says they don't regret meeting me because I'm honest and I don't want to use anyone.

Maybe they don't want to chat with you. they just want to follow your opinions and questions.

I don't do socials... but that's probably what bots do

I've often wondered the same thing when someone follows me. They bothered to send me a request to follow me, and then I never hear from them again. Or we messaged for a couple of days and then they ghosted me.
Are they just spying on us?

[Crimsyjo]

a lot if people just care about follower numbers nothing else. Like people who have hundreds of friends on Facebook. Status thing
