Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and please wake up.

Most people don't accept them unless they personally know you. I don't use it that much but I have one and almost 98% of my connections are people I know in real life. I get invites from random fucks all the time and unless they are related to my career i don't accept.

Exactly. If you are a stranger, you need to have something professionally to be proud of and present to others.

This. And even if they are related to my career, I generally don't accept like that. If they seem really relevant people, I'll send them a reply and propose to meet up and shake hands.
A LinkedIn network full of people you don't actually know is virtually useless. Just a random collection of names.

Rejected by social media.... Now that's low.
Then again. LinkedIn is serious. People that don't know you don't want to associate with you because their own image is at play. Nobody wants to risk being associated with a loser.
Get to know them in person. Then they will accept you (if you're actually smart and not an idiot)

Wait.. okay hold up. What do they have to lose from accepting me? They have a lot to gain because they potentially expand their network and increase the chance of putting their name out there more from Linkedin's search algorithm.
I admit I might give off loser vibes.... I don't have many connections :/. Why can't they just help me out? Do they think they're better than me? Are they looking down on me 
God I just want them to accept me it fucking hurts so bad

LinkedIn isn't facebook. Some people use it as company image and extremely professional. If they let everyone in then what's the point. I still use mine every once in awhile to speak with alum or former colleagues. I really need to update it.

The quality and usefulness of your network degrades if you allow people in you don't really know. If I contact someone in my LinkedIn network, I know what they are about, what they could do for them and what I could do for them and I know what successful connections I can establish between people in my network. This doesn't work with people I don't know. Plus there's always the risk of your network becoming 'contaminated' with people with a bad reputation and if that happens too often, it starts to radiate on yourself. I think most people reason along similar lines.

This is the approach that I take. I generally accept the linked in requests I receive. As long as the person has taken at least a small amount of effort to make their profile professional, I'll link to them.
One reason is to expand my network, but the second reason is more simple: Often I'll meet people in professional settings and forget about them or forget their name. You never know where people end up in their careers, I think its good to have a larger professional network.

I have refused to participate in any form of social media. I know that in some ways hinders me professionally and socially but the benefits of not being part of that world are precious to me.
I feel safe and anonymous and private and calm because I dont have hundreds of people digitally finger banging me every day.

I hate when the happy chems run out:(
I hate social media as well. Havent used it in years. Although i may be getting back on soon in an effort to meet women and reconnect with old lost friends. Im gettingg back in the dating game and realize people dont meet much the "old fashioned way" anymore. So i gotta get fb in order to meet bitches. If it werent for the bitches id say fuck all forms of social media.
