I actually like connecting with people at work when I see they have a personality, like, but that's hard when someone makes a big deal of something you don't want to be part of. I would tell them I don't use social media at all, so it doesn't make sense to get in there just to approve the person.
I would just say social media is a personal choice for me and my family and we have decided to limit our inactions to LinkedIn. You could also add that active participation in social media takes additional time from your family and you just can't make that commitment at this time. Let us know if this works. Have a great day!
I do the exact same thing. I don't connect with any current coworkers on my personal social media. If someone requests me, they stay languishing in my requested tab. If anyone ever made a big deal out of it, I'd just tell them that I only allow close friends and family to connect with me on IG/FB. If they take that personally, that's their problem, not mine.
Just be straightforward. Hi, no offense, but I don’t connect with people I work with on social media outside of LinkedIn.
Maybe I’m boring, but I have nothing to hide, don’t fake sick days / lie about my whereabouts, and don’t post controversial stuff, so I don’t see the issue with it. I work on a geographically distributed team and we have a high level of respect and trust, but rarely get to interact in person. The social media connection brings some of that personal connection and insight into each other’s lives that we probably wouldn’t get otherwise. To each his own, though, and I’d never pressure a colleague to connect.
This is how I was in my last job. But since I've joined this team I've sensed some cattyness with some people and thought I was better off just avoiding connecting with folks here.
I will connect with former colleagues but not current colleagues. I want to keep my personal life separate from the people I work with- that's just my preference.

I personally follow colleagues on social because I like seeing a glimpse into their lives outside of work, but I have plenty of coworkers who don’t and it’s never been an issue! I think totally fair to say that you keep you personal life separate; and then ignore if it they keep pushing it. Feels very strange they’ve made such a big deal about it in all honesty
