I am curious *your* take on this topic…
Unfriending someone from Facebook, do you dare?
People get unfriended for all sorts of reasons…
I have unfriended people later to run into them in the mall or somewhere out and about, and especially when you just unfriended them because you don’t chat, really it’s nothing personal, it’s just flat out AWKWARD when you see them or there’s a mumbling of excuses of why you aren’t on each others’ fb anymore, and later you run home and send them a friend request.
I have also been unfriended, recently as a matter of fact. This person just did it almost as a blind side after a reconciliation to be on terms of what I would consider “cordial” or just basic decency…we were “friends” months prior when we had met, and then had a bit of a dissolve in the relationship but FB was left untouched….then there was the ice breaker and opening of a door to reconcile, and then it blew up in my face.
I will be honest, I was bent. Very bent. But that’s ok, I feel good about the path that things have gone at this point and I will just leave it at that.
I have a lot to say about this topic as it is a heaty one at times, but I think I will just quit while I am ahead today 
I feel like unfriending is such an active way of showing someone you no longer care for them…it’s a bit silly, really. It would be like not keeping in contact with an old friend and then calling them up and saying “hey, just to confirm, we aren’t really friends, so let’s continue not talking”
There are good reasons for unfriending in certain occasions, but I think they are few and far in between.
It depends, for me, who the “unfriender” is. Since I have a nasty habit of falling off the face of FB world and simply just not logging on for months at a time; more often than not, I come back to find I’ve been unfriended by people who seem to think I blocked them or vice versa. Whatever. It doesn’t bother me. BUT, not that long ago–my cousin randomly went through and unfriended a grip of us from the family. I was tight because it came out of nowhere. But I got over it after a few seconds knowing I didn’t do anything to her. It stung, I won’t lie–and if she tries to friend me again, I’ll deny it. But if I see her in person, I’ll probably pretend I didn’t notice.
So I went to contact someone I thought I had on my friend list today because she has a practicum project/report of mine that I need for a sample piece in case I am looking for new sources of employment…
that being said, I went to message her today and saw that she had deleted me. Ok, I am a big girl, I can deal with this…
I send her a nice friendly message giving her 3 options on how to get this report to me – I am being nice and accommodating as well as acknowledging that she may not even want to face me as that could be awkward!
Anyhow, she messaged me back and is willing to drop it off at my house…ughhhhhhhh I was NOT expecting that – how awkward is this going to be? FML
Then there’s the ‘unfriend’ and ‘block’ for no reason other than you didn’t agree with a certain action. Didn’t judge, just didn’t agree & with over 15 friends in common THAT can get the highschool drama going, hard to believe some ‘ladies’ are as old as they are.
