Topic: Do you feel bad when someone unfriends you ? | |
---|---|
Saying that someone unfriending you on the internet killed you is a bit dramatic.
Sometimes it can make you feel a bit crappy though. I know this girl in the real world and we have always got on fine in person but when I added her on Facebook and she deleted posts that I made on her timeline I felt somewhat slighted and I said something to her that was rather churlish because she did that. |

It wouldn't worry me, as they're only friends on here, not ones that I hang about with in real life, that would get to me. If anyone defriends me then it's their choice to do so, but I won't be losing any sleep over it though!

When I first joined, I had a bad experience...Hindsight is 20/20 and looking back I can easily see why it happened...I can also see my part in it.... It resulted in some un-friending...That was over two years ago...I lived to regret my impulsiveness because it made a bad situation worse....I resolved never to do it again...When I accept a friend or send a friend request, there is a reason that goes beyond just adding a name...I have talked to them through email, interacted with them on the boards, or I have been reading and loving their posts and I want to make a gesture to further open the lines of communication...Once I add someone, I will not un-friend them...My friend list is not a weapon...When peeps do it to me with no explanation it cuts pretty deep...I operate this way...If you have a problem with me, at least give me a chance to fix it, come to me, lets talk, don't just write me off...Mingle is a community... .

I guess its all in how we view the people on this site...I know there's a real person on the other end of the post or message. So just like in person I put my heart into em. Glad I have too. Wonderful people here on mingle!

Yeah, it would hurt a bit. I don't easily add people as friends, so the ones that are my friends are kind of special to me :) I don't add for the sake of having a huge list, I only add people that I like and/or talk to and/or have something in common with. Well said...This. |

It has happened to me. Yes it hurt but I got over it.

Hey Chuck :) It's happened to me twice, but at the end of the day, it's THEIR loss. I think they could at least tell us why they did. It's kinda rude to just bin someone off like that. Especially if they're the one who sent the friend request in the first place. I can't figure why some people abandon like that. But honestly, those one's that do that, aren't worth thinking about.

I did it once. Didn't really want to talk about it then and don't want to talk about it now either. Fell out with somebody and just took them off my friends list. She knows who she is and she's back on my friends list again. The friends list on here isn't a big deal to me though and it just makes it easy for me to message people on here that I chat with sometimes.

I think some people need to disassociate their online time from their everyday lives though? I have a life away from Mingle and the people I see and deal with on that side are what I class as more important, as I actually know them and who they are. Mingle people are real, yes, but it's not as if we all go down the pub, then off to a nightclub and a party after every weekend like some of us do with our real friends, is it?

I know some people here take making friends online very seriously. Usually I don't but I have over the years gotten close to a few people. Peoople do come and go..thats just life. If I delete anyone on Mingle, then its because they have done something to me that doesn't deserve my friendship anymore. Earlier on I was accepting friend requests from some I have never spoken too. Lol they are still on my list and some not.
Yes it bothers me to be unfriended, even if I know I deserve it. |

Yeah, I had a really good friend on here that was an American lady and we messaged each other for months and I told her all about myself and talked to her like I would talk to a friend in the real world. She still said that I was just one of a couple of really good friends that she had on here but that I wasn't like one of her real life friends that she would actually trust with personal things like her address though. I know the difference between people that are actually involved in my life and people that I just chat with on the internet. I have come close to meeting one or two of the women from the forums here but it didn't happen and I don't ever really expect it too. People that are on my friends list on here are people that I'm always happy to hear from and reply to but that's all that it is and they are friends that have been here for me when I felt that I needed that sort of a friend but they haven't given me anything more than that, apart from the one on my friends list that I actually dated and isn't from the forums. |

If we are talking about 'unfriending' on M2,
I have done it a couple times, when they have turned into something I consider less than friendly. If it has been done to me, I don't know it yet as I never look :-) |
