unbefriendable
Cannot be befriended
Unbefriendable describes someone impossible to befriend—whether through coldness, hostility, or impenetrable reserve.
The word suggests the failure lies with the person rather than the would-be friend: He's not just shy, he's genuinely unbefriendable.
In social media contexts, it can mean unable to be added as a friend on a platform, usually due to privacy settings or blocking.
