So I have been struggling with this for quite a while. I know, I know, it is petty, but it does bother me. It bothers me that my 'friends' are un-friending me on social medias. Well, I say friends, but yes sure some of them are officemates, some schoolfriends etc. Well, every once in a while, you'd see your counter like turun, by say 1. & following week like two more un-friend. Not too sure why, which made me struggle with the idea even more. I suspect that maybe they were approached by a fake account imposing to be me, but I can't be too sure. Or maybe because I wasn't engaging with them (like liking their photos regularly) but I do read their postings

Anyone else struggling with this ? Or any thought on how I should go about handling this ?

Follow can be unfollowed, friend can be unfriended, like can be unliked, starred can be unstarred...... This is within expectation, but in reality, it may upset us.
This is one of the reason I stay away from social media, I prefer web forum more.

ah, i had one dude unfriended me years back then, only to add me again, and announce his wedding. duhh

I tried SocMed detox, but somehow I needed to use it. I normally find the information I needed from there. But yeah it is upsetting to see people removing from their friends list. Especially if they have a lot of friends, yet they somehow find that I am not worthy, and removed me. Which is a bummer. I mean, it is fine if we hardly talk, but there are those who I am active with in the same FB groups, like all good but suddenly it turned sour. not sure where I did wrong, but yeah got removed.

One article says:


Perhaps you can cultivate more off-line friendships.

Seriously, just don't take it to personally. They unfriend because they only want their posts to be visible to their closed immediate family only.

I am, but still don't negate the fact that my online friends are removing me from their friends list. I get it if they are closing down their accounts, but to remove me only hits hard.

Is the person who unfriend you from their social media also a friend in the offline world? Do you guys still talk to each other?

Yes on both accounts - We are officemates, and we still talk to each other (mostly through Teams)

maybe you post uninteresting/annoying stuff that they dun like to see?

i will unfriend those who keep sharing 'rubbish' contents

Why do you based your life quality on someone else? On external matters? On how many FB friends you have? No wonder you are a MESS!

Stop , breathe & let go of irrelevant nonsense like that.

Lots of people do not like me.
Lots of people are racists, religionist, corrupt or as they say rasuah budaya.
Lots of colleagues think they're right until outcome then hate that I am right.
Lots of friends are married, own life, jelly of me, dont want to see my posts.
Lots of people I do not like because they are RRRR and arrogant.
Climate change is evident humanity are mostly polluters.
Actually its capitalism that deforest & pollute at industrial scale.
Capitalism also create lots of shit heads. So I learn to understand.
Chuck those garbage in the bin or let them go. Not all zodiacs get along.
And keep good friends close.
