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 ?

QUOTE(Tullamarine @ May 14 2023, 12:00 AM) 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. 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.

QUOTE(FlierMate @ Jun 2 2023, 06:44 PM) One article says: Perhaps you can cultivate more off-line friendships. 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.

QUOTE(hazleen08 @ Jun 11 2023, 10:59 PM) 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)
