I'm not sure what to do. I do not belong to facebook, and think it's rather drama filled. I know a ton of people who are on it and a friend of mine told me that an old riend from high school, had been asking people about me, what my life is like, how many kids I have etc... This "friend" is acutally not a friend. This person asking all these questions is someone who I stopped being friends with for MANY reasons. I am mortified that she is trying to find things out about my life. She has gotten some info backon me. If I wanted people to know what I was up to, I would be friends with them. If I wanted to get reconnected with people I would be on Facebook, but I am not. I do not wish to connect with people from my past, nor do I care what other people I have lost touch with are up too. How do I get people to stop talking, or asking about me. I find this extremly annoying and rude. Any ideas?
The thing about FB is that it is so public. People would normally talk behind your back and you would never know- with FB people talk and you know about it!
I either contact that person directly, and have a heart to heart about it over an email...
or
contact FB we administartors if it is REALLY inappropriate.
This is a really hard one-
You really can't get people to stop asking about you. What you can do is contact all of your friends and ask that they don't give out any information about you, especially to this certain person.
I had a friend that I dropped for good reasons and a few months ago she started contacting my friends wanting to get back in touch. My friends refused to give out any of my information but offered to give me a message with her contact information. That's a good policy to have. I simply threw away her contact information and she stopped asking and that was the end of that.
People will always gossip and talk, you can't stop that. But you can keep personal info personal!
It is a public site, so unless she is posting nude photos of you- don't worry about it. Facebook is all about connecting people, it is not going to go away. Honestly, who really cares what people from high school think of you now-it just shows that they have not grown up. I ask about people I went to college with and even high school-it is not a bad thing to be curious of what people are up to. Sorry, you are taking offense to it.
People talk. If she weren't doing this on Facebook, she'd just be "plain old" talking to people and asking questions. I would ignore it, unless you think she is a danger to you or something. I'm sure we're all talked about by people we are currently friends with, and by people in our past. It's too much to think about unless it could be something that would harm you. Gossip is annoying and rude but we all do it to some degree. People like the woman talking about you aren't worth wasting your time thinking about. And if you obsess over it, you're allowing her to live rent free in your head.
