Older people and facebook

<p>My friend's wife friended me on facebook a few months ago and now she won't leave me alone. She is a bit older, like in her 30s. At the time I didn't think anything of it because I am friends with a few of my friends' parents and they never even use facebook.</p>

<p>I accidentally unfriended her once when I was trying to block her posts from showing up in my feed and she asked me why I did that the very next time I saw her in person. It was very awkward. </p>

<p>She keeps sending me requests and PMs and she literally likes and comments on everything I do. I've been considering getting rid of my facebook, but its one of the few ways I have to keep in touch with my friends from my old school (i transferred). We have a very long group PM thread that has been going for like two years now. </p>

<p>I just didn't realize how crazy she is at the time. I've even heard my mom talk about her, because apparently my mom has had problems with her too. What do I do? I've never had anything like this happen before.</p>

<p>That IS creepy- does your friend know his wife is acting like this towards you?</p>

<p>For a start, block her from reading your posts so she can’t comment on them. You don’t have to unfriendly her for that. </p>

<p>It’s your friend’s wife? Jokingly ask your friend about it.</p>

<p>Yes, the simplest solution is to set up a List titled “creeps”, and set your default privacy to “Everyone Except (creeps)”. If she follows you as closely as you are describing she might notice your sudden drop in activity, but probably not since someone like that probably has a lot of people whose posts she reads.</p>

<p>I have some older people I work with on Facebook, and many of them do seem to comment on everything. I would just put her on a restricted list so that she can’t see your photos or status updates.</p>

<p>It does seem to be a different mindset for them. I’ve heard my friends talk about this before. </p>

<p>I think I’ll just put her on a restricted list. I’m a bit of a facebook noob as far as all the features go. I always find it confusing when they change the layout.</p>

<p>I don’t use Facebook anymore, it’s social snobbery. I’m sick of hearing about my friends’ perfect life on Facebook and miserable existence outside of it, not to mention it’s a huge time waster. </p>

<li><p>You can make sure she can only see some of your posts, so for example, you can set your posts to custom and put her as an exception to not see your posts. </p></li>
<li><p>You can also put her on the restricted list.</p></li>
<li><p>You can also deactivate your Facebook.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Personally, I would go with #3 (and I have done that!) but that is just me.</p>
