Yukio Fujimaki, a member of the Japanese Senate who passed away in the spring of 2014 (https://news.readmoo.com/2015/08/25/150825-vista-relationship-changes-your-fate/) once said: “Be highly curious about people, but don’t pretend to be familiar! Only by being friendly can you build connections.”
Whether it is building social competitiveness or managing contacts, it actually starts with the interaction between people. And respect and kindness are only the first step.
Bringing the topic back, if I want to talk about the secrets of “people management”, I think I can really write a book, but today I will start with Facebook friend invitations!
Dating etiquette in the social era
The total number of Facebook members exceeds one billion, and more than 19 million people are registered in Taiwan. Almost everyone who surfs the Internet has an account. It can be said that it is a quite common Internet service in this social era. As a result, Facebook gradually evolved from an “address book between acquaintances” to a complex social relationship mixed with advertising, friendship or other purposes.
If I were to teach a course on “New Generation Network Management”, it would definitely start with how to send a friend invitation on Facebook. Perhaps the “Add Friend” button is designed to be too simple and easy to use, which leads many people to send out friend invitations to strangers almost without thinking, without even saying hello, completely forgetting the politeness taught by their teachers when they were children.
The importance of taking the initiative to say hello
To be honest, I’m a little tired of having to write a private message to say hello before being added as a friend on Facebook. It’s not that I am so great, but I would rather find out who the friend I am talking to is? In this way, we can communicate with an open mind and interact and share without reservation.
In fact, I am happy to meet new people, and I am very grateful that people are willing to be friends with me, but… out of ten people who add me as friends, about nine out of ten people will not send a message to introduce themselves first. I can’t help but wonder, is this the new generation’s way of making friends?
Making connections is great, but why not just say hello? What’s even better is that about eight out of ten times when I say “Hello, hello,” the other person either doesn’t respond or just responds with “Hello.” Well, it’s good for me and good for you.
If we meet new friends at physical events or social occasions, do we always exchange business cards or say a few words? So, why do people forget about politeness when the dating scene is moved to the Internet?
Actually, I just want to know who you are? Also, have we met on any occasion? Or, can you tell me why you want to get to know me? Or is there anything I can do to help? If so, please tell me.
I already have more than 2,700 friends on Facebook, and I always say “Happy Birthday” to the birthday girl every morning. However, I find that there are still many friends who I have added as friends but rarely interact with each other. This is really a pity!
If you just want to “get to know” me, or want to see the information I share on the graffiti wall or the articles I have published, please use Facebook’s “tracking” function, or you can go to the “Content Hacker” website. Otherwise, you can also follow the latest developments from the [Fans Group] (https://www.facebook.com/vista.tw).
Cherish every friendship
Facebook has a so-called upper limit of 5,000 friends. I think founder Zuckerberg had such a design at the beginning. In addition to considering the real friendship situation of most people, he also probably wanted to remind everyone not to make excessive friends, which blurs the essence of social interaction.
I just took a look and found that there are nearly a thousand friend invitations on my Facebook that I have not yet responded to; to be honest, I am very grateful to these friends for being willing to add me as friends. But in this age of dummies, I may need more information before I can decide whether to press the confirm button.
Because, I really care about every friend of mine and value every friendship.
