I get deleted a lot on facebook. Do you?

No i dont. But then i do not have facebook since i find it useless.

I would get deleted a lot, if I actually posted anything. On the rare occasions when I have made a comment, I've immediately offended the shallow babbling NTs with my bluntness, so I hardly ever even log on anymore, unless I need to send a message to my daughter - for some reason she responds through FB faster than to an email. But a lot of the 'friends' on my FB list are people I went to High School with 30+ years ago, who wanted to say Hi and now say nothing, or relatives I rarely talked to anyway. If they all dropped me today, I wouldn't miss them. I can count the FB 'friends' I actually want to keep on one hand.

All the time. Its a lot earier to deal with getting deleted when you have more friends, and many that you don't know tbh.

If I do, I don't notice it.

I don't do much of anything on facebook anyway. I'm thinking about deleting it.

It's the same with me. I have 42 at the moment, but nobody really gives a s**t about me(some do care about me), but to tell you the truth, just because someone has 100+ friends, DOESN'T mean they're true close friends, kids just want to see how many they can get. For the truth, out of the 42, 4-5 are my family of distant cousins and aunts and uncles, therefore, they are counted as family, but as for my "True" friends would only be 2-3, and that is all that matters. It doesn't matter how many friends you added or got added by, it's the true ones who really care about you and who YOU care about.

No one's deleted me so far.

The people I'm friends with on Facebook are people I know IRL anyway, and that includes family members who are on it. The only thing that has happened was getting suggestions for people who were already on my friends list, so I just ignored that as a glitch with the system itself. I do have it set up to "friends only" for everything, and my profile is hidden from the general public. The first thing I did when I joined that site was to block my abusive ex-husband from finding me on that site.

I don't use FaceBook but I do use MySpace & I've been deleted by a few people but I don't think much of it because I haven't chatted with anyone on it in a while. I occasionally go true my friends list & delete people who haven't logged in for a long time or never responded to some messages or never chatted with me; for some rezone lots of people send me friend request & then never chat with me or only delete me a few days latter

I can definitely relate to this. I have been deleted many times, especially after starting Facebook right near the end of my Senior year of high school. At my peak times, I had over 240+ friends on the list (which about 70% are acquaintances, 5% close friends or those that truly care about me, and 25% just people of mutual friends or know of others). Over the years in college, I have been deleted by others and even I myself don't know all the reasons, but I could name a few just from guessing...

A few reasons that come to mind are:
1) They had a fallout, in other words, they have (sometimes personal) their own reasons.
2) Lack of connection after a while, some of the people I see often back in high school and talked with everyday they simply decided to move on.
3) They didn't know me very well to begin with and they felt that I wasn't "close" with them. I had a friend that trimmed his list of friends from 300+ to less than 50.


If there are other reasons I would list them, but these are just a handful that I know or have experienced personally. If others have other possible reasons feel free to chime in or add on.

It's a way to maintain contact, why should it matter if someone is your Facebook friend or not? It's just a piece of data on a server, why should we attach too much meaning to it? Better to not stress about it. If someone is your real friend they will care about you.

never had it happen,but all people on friends list are ex support staff,friends from the NHS intelectual disability service user panel & advocacy group, and family, not the sort of folks who are going to defriend a relative or fellow worker.

have personaly defriended sister once after she had a serious uncalled for outburst for saying something innocent she didnt agree with and was left devastated and really fked off with her,but had realised defriending doesnt make the problem go away so just added her again and we eventualy sorted it out and we are back to normal now,she was just having a low mood day.

one thing have often read of other people who defriend someone on their list,its often because they think the person doesnt get involved in their life and dont read their statuses,so defriending them wont be any loss to their facebook life.
it sounds like this was exactly the case with the three people who had defriended
because had not used facebook for a while so obviously were inactive from giving input to peoples statuses and they were wanting a friend list springclean.

I've been deleted a few times, but only by people I wasn't close to to begin with, so I really never cared.

To be deleted one must first be added.

A good idea. It's too easy to turn it back on oneself.

I'm hovering around the 60-friend mark, but if it wasn't for keeping in touch with family in the old country (moved to the States from Europe) then I'd have deleted my Facebook account years ago.

What annoys me is that the people I wold like to hear from are, like me, pretty inactive, but the ones who fill my news feed are the ones who seem to spend all their leisure time posing useless videos or memes about being the worlds greatest grandmother/daughter/mother etc.
