Never thought I'd be "that person"...

I was unfriended a few months ago for what I thought was the dumbest reason and it really hurt my feelings. Myself and 3 other girls were friends...our kids were friends. Two of them had a major falling out and no longer had anything to do with each other. I stayed neutral and didn't talk about it with either of them. One of them moved about 20 miles north and we didn't see each other much but we stayed in touch and I thought we were ok. I texted her to get her new email to send a christmas card...no response. The next week I texted to see if her daughter could come hang out with mine. Her response was "she's busy". Hmmm...sounds like she's upset with me. Then I realize I haven't seen her on FB for a while so I check & sure enough, unfriended. So, I texted to ask if she was upset with me and she says, "upset isn't really the word. Just trying to move on and you're just a reminder of what I've lost".

It still bothers me now and then, but I just have to tell myself that her decision cost her another friendship and that it's her loss.

I think what bugs me more than unfriending is when I send a friend request and it gets ignored. Oh well, I was only popular in high school.

I'm guilty of this. I get a lot of requests, but it's a combination of i'm scared because there are SO many, some of them are people who only see our mutual friends but whom I've never met, some of them i've never even interacted with online, etc etc. :/

mostly, though, it's the first. LOL

I have to say I sometimes don't reply to those, because I have NO FREAKING idea who that person is. You see if they send me their USERNAME/forum name and a STORE name I could figure out who they are.

I don't friend most people who request friendship from me, since most of it is based on my business. I prefer to keep my friends list small and my fan list is where those people need to go anyway since they're interested in my designs, not my life

I've been blocked on FB, for no apparent reason LOL

You can remove yourself from search if you are getting requests from people you don't know. I have my security pretty tight (although FB seems to change it often!) so most people can't find me. I don't FB with local friends, so that's now kind of known and I rarely get random people sending me friend requests.
