Why am I blocked from sending friend requests on Facebook?

Are you bothered by the fact that you cannot send requests, well here this might be the reason behind this problem.
You can be blocked from sending friend requests for several reasons. For example, your past friend requests may have went unanswered or were marked as unwelcome.
 

In the future, send friend requests to people you have a real-life connection to. For example, your friends, family, coworkers or classmates. 

Also, everyone on Facebook is asked to use the name they go by in everyday life. This way, you always know who you're connecting with.

If you still want to view updates from people you don’t know (like celebrities) you can go by following them instead.
