Several days ago, I found myself on the receiving end of a Friend Request from a new member, which immediately caused me to feel unnerved and suspicious.
I question if it's a generational thing, or if it's just me. At the time that I received this request, there had been no prior interaction on the forum between myself and this member. Furthermore, their member profile was completely blank. Therefore, I had no way of knowing if this person was on a similar wavelength to me, or if we had anything remotely in common.
I'm feeling rather overwhelmed by the number of responses this post has generated. I would like to respond individually to those that have shared their own experiences and/or thoughts on this topic, but this is likely to take some time. For now, I would simply like to say "Thank you!"
I've had a few messages since my reply earlier so now turned off private messages.
I'm glad people were able to help you.
