I think its worse to be unfriended.. Hey. Lemme chat with so an so.. Oh wait we aint friends no more.. WTF did I do????

[–]The_Adventurist 27 points28 points ago

I don't think I've ever been unfriended by anybody I didn't expect to be unfriended by. I have, however, unfriended people who otherwise would have no idea.

Recently, one girl went to college with me revealed a Batman spoiler on opening weekend. I pretty much didn't talk to her anymore anyway, so click gone.

[–]razzopwnz 15 points16 points ago

what kind of sick person spoils a highly anticipated movie on facebook?

[–]The_Adventurist 4 points5 points ago

It's not even like she specifically wanted spoiled it, she just decided to share the very ending with facebook to tell us how great she thought it was. Well, perhaps I don't need to be facebook friends with people who are that impulsive and inconsiderate of others. I had deliberately been avoiding all trailers, posters, billboards, everything from TDKR because I wanted to go into it as fresh as possible and then, wham, ending is ruined right where I wasn't expecting it.

[–]luketongs 0 points1 point ago

'FRANK: Still! Still! I like to go in fresh!' Me too.

[–]Dark-Ganon -2 points-1 points ago

just a word of advise, you should NEVER assume you are safe from a spoiler anywhere on the internet...especially a social network...however, that girl is still a cunt for doing that

[–]naobatt 0 points1 point ago

you made yourself despise something as good as the dark knight rises; that's impressive.

[–]mrcats 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't matter whether the movie was good.

It's still a dick move.

[–]The_Adventurist 0 points1 point ago

I'm not mad or downvoting you, I just feel sorry that you didn't get to see the same movie I saw and loved. The one you saw apparently sucked hard. The one I saw was awesome and I'm a little hard to impress, especially with big summer action stuff. I thought The Avengers was just pretty good. TDKR literally had me on the edge of my seat from the first frame.

[–]luketongs 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was bit rushed compared to 2, so much going on.. But still was awesome!

[–]prettylove88 0 points1 point ago

Agreed! Extremely overhyped! The second one was waaaaay better!!

[–]SumTeaWong 2 points3 points ago

Is it possible they deactivated their account that you don't see them on your friend's list?

[–]Sucio 1 point2 points ago

If you search for them in your friend list they will show up as deactivated.

[–]HatersOnlyFriend 5 points6 points ago

I am seriously considering unfriending a formerly good friend. He moved away about 4 years ago, and even though we have kept in touch by email and facebook, I just found out he was in town recently and didn't even let me know. I'm not terribly upset about it, but still makes me think, is this guy really even still my friend?

[–]Vykro 2 points3 points ago

Well, do you know why he was in town? If you don't have time to visit why contact someone. This sounds like a bit over overreaction to me.

[–]HatersOnlyFriend 0 points1 point ago

We live on separate continents, so am sure he was in town for a couple weeks, certainly visiting family. I wouldn't overreact like that if he hadn't been saying we need to get together for the last 4 years. That and we both have young children now, would have thought he would want to get together.

If it wouldn't be a high priority for him, that's fine, but then we're not really close friends anymore.

[–]KiNGofKiNG89 4 points5 points ago

I had this once. We were good friends for the longest time, then one day she removed me. I was so confused!

[–]MewsClues 1 point2 points ago

Just curious, does FB tell you when someone has removed you from your friends list?

[–]Chubbs12 12 points13 points ago

No, but they'll show up on your 'people u might know' list. Dead giveaway

[–]Sucio 2 points3 points ago

My ex wife showed up like.this after I deleted my MySpace account because of her.

[–]FistfulDeDolares 21 points22 points ago

Nope. And that's a good thing.

[–]KiNGofKiNG89 0 points1 point ago

nope. It is annoying too. I rarely add people, so when I lose a friend it is easy to tell, and if I cant figure it out, I go into OCD mode....

[–]xMcNerdx 6 points7 points ago

If you honestly can't tell, is that such a bad thing? It means that they weren't much of a friend anyways if you can't immediately tell.

[–]CryoGuy 10 points11 points ago

WHO GIVES A SHIT? GO OUTSIDE.

[–]blackhawk465 9 points10 points ago

Says one redditor to another. Don't be a hypocrite.

[–]CryoGuy 2 points3 points ago

I'm redditing on a park bench thank you very much.

[–]blackhawk465 1 point2 points ago

And they can't use facebook on a park bench?

[–]CryoGuy -3 points-2 points ago

Nope, because fuck facebook you condescending prick.

[–]blackhawk465 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for conceding your argument.

[–]KiNGofKiNG89 0 points1 point ago

You are definitely talking to the wrong person with that. You don't even know me and you are telling me to outside? You must have had one too many facebook friends remove you and this topic is a little to sensitive for you.

Unless of course you are trying? to troll?

[–]CryoGuy 0 points1 point ago

Well that only took 20 hours.

[–]KiNGofKiNG89 0 points1 point ago

Yep, because I actually do GO OUTSIDE.

[–]CryoGuy 0 points1 point ago

[–]upvoteCity 0 points1 point ago

Sorry to turn this into facebook support but is it possible to stop your friends from seeing your friend list?

[–]SkippingLeaf 0 points1 point ago

Yes. Fb changes too much for me to remember how, but you can google it.

[–]upvoteCity -1 points0 points ago

I did a couple of months ago. I searched through all the facebook settings and through a lot of google results but could not find it anywhere. I don't think you can do it.

[–]SkippingLeaf 0 points1 point ago

Sign in. Click on "Bob Smith" on upper right corner. By default "Friends" will appear on the main banner of your timeline, click it. Click "Edit". Choose "Only Me".

[–]heyjesu 0 points1 point ago

Go to your profile. Click on friends. (Or you can just do facebook.com/yourfacebookusername/friends). On the top right, there's a button that says Edit. Click that - it'll ask you "Who can see your friend list?" You can change it to "only me" or make it custom.

[Btw, I have timeline so if you don't, I don't know if this will work]

[–]upvoteCity 0 points1 point ago

Awesome thanks!

[–]Xzumo 1 point2 points ago

There is a plugin for Chrome that tells you when someone removes you from thier friends list.

[–]m00nbarker 0 points1 point ago

Nope, I too learned the hard way

[–]itsasillyplace 2 points3 points ago

Me three. When I first got a fb account, a cute german-spanish chick friended me. I thought I was a real playa'.

When she unfriended me, I was so confused because she was the one who friended me and would initiate conversation.

Also, because I didn't know how fb worked, so I didn't know that she also blocked me :(

Stupid bitch, I remembered her name and when I got a different account I found her with the search function. This is when I realized my original account had been blocked by her.

My virtual heart was broke.

I didn't have the stomach to be a creep and harrass her about it with my new account so I just left it alone.

I got my payback, though. Her stupid photo album was public so I fapped to her, you know, for revenge.

[–]m00nbarker 8 points9 points ago

... You lost me

[–]Dasmitch 1 point2 points ago

Haven't talked to you in a while : Unfriended you were merely a weak link in my chain.

[–]adamcsay 1 point2 points ago

my mom takes this shit personally. which is why i can never delete my facebook.

[–]FreakingAwesomeThing 1 point2 points ago

Even worse to be blocked for a friend request. :/

[–]pagirl 0 points1 point ago

How do you know this?

[–]andrewblackwe 1 point2 points ago

Funny thing is that right as I read this my best friend told me we couldn't be friends anymore. Awesome Right?!

[–]Sucio 0 points1 point ago

Ouch. Hope I didnt motivate that..

[–]Uppercut58 1 point2 points ago

I've unfriended a few people who spam the newsfeed with every thought that enters their heads. I am talking posting 50-60 times a day. Fuck that, your thoughts just are not that interesting.

[–]joeldavis 1 point2 points ago

I've unfriended a few people who spam the newsfeed with every thought that enters their heads.

Ever think of just filtering them out? I have a 14 year old cousin who does that and I've filtered them out (now you "unsubscribe" from them but it was something else before that I don't remember) for about two or three years now...I wonder if she's still alive. Her mom would have told me if she got killed...right?

[–]freeloadr 3 points4 points ago

You are over thinking this.

[–]HSoup 169 points170 points ago

Christy, just because we went to high school together doesn't make us friends. If you use facebook for acquaintances, more power to you, but I only like to friend people I actually know. Posting this on Reddit is a bit passive-aggressive, btw.

[–]scots23 58 points59 points ago

I just looked through OPs post history for science, and her name is Mary. This guy's a phoney!

[–]HSoup 12 points13 points ago

I'm tempted to edit my original comment to make it say Mary.

Interestingly enough, I had denied a high school classmate named Christy's friend request just prior to diving back into the reddit swimming pool this evening. I thought it would be funny, since I saw this post so soon after doing it, to act like she had posted it, though the timing would have made it impossible.

TL;DR: No deception intended. Just fun'n.

[–]ParadoxD 24 points25 points ago

Oh snap.

[–]Tada-Forever 7 points8 points ago

Whenever someone requests me on facebook I ask myself "Do I actually know and love this person?" if not, I don't accept.

Of course, that means I only have like 15 friends. But I am very okay with that.

[–]pagirl 0 points1 point ago

I go with acquaintances. As it turns out, there are a lot of people I barely know who are fascinating and funny! I see it like a news feed of people I care about. Glad FarmVille has died down a little...

[–]joeldavis 0 points1 point ago

Of course, that means I only have like 15 friends.

What's the point of a Facebook with only 15 people in your news feed? Either they're the most interesting people in the world or you're better off just not using it at all.

[–]Tada-Forever 1 point2 points ago

True enough. I never had one for a long time. But I promised a good friend that I'd make one when she moved to Japan. So I finally relented.

I probably look at it less than once a week. But it's nice to see pictures of my niece or read about Japan things from my friend.

[–]sleeplessone 11 points12 points ago

This is why I love the G+ circles method.

[–]geegeegeegeebaby 9 points10 points ago

You know who else put his friends into circles? Dante Alighieri.

[–]The_Adventurist 23 points24 points ago

If only anybody was on Google+

[–]HSoup 13 points14 points ago

Circles of Solitude, as they're known.

[–]sleeplessone -1 points0 points ago

Not having any problems finding people that I actually want to follow so far.

Now if you want to use a social network to follow every account with a pair of tits then yeah, it's probably not for you.

[–]Golden-Calf 0 points1 point ago

The problem with google+ is that by adding somebody to your circles in G+, you're still acknowledging their existence.

[–]sleeplessone 0 points1 point ago

And that's the thing. I never have to add them, ever.

[–]TheCrazedMadman 2 points3 points ago

Happened to me.....but this was a co-worker who I worked in the same company (staff of about 20) for a year and a half. Never accepted, we got along fine....but I didnt want to be like "Why arent you accepting my friendship?".

[–]Frekavichk 2 points3 points ago

It is generally smart to not add coworkers on facebook. Keeping personal and professional life separate is most time the best option.

[–]pagirl 0 points1 point ago

Yeah..."But I thought you liked me...."

[–]greywindow -1 points0 points ago

Maybe they don't have many friends and were hoping you might be willing to hang out sometime and maybe become a friend to them. Have you never lived in a city where you didn't know many people? If everybody had this attitude nobody would ever make new friends.

[–]HSoup 2 points3 points ago

  1. Facebook isn't the place for such things, the way I use it, at least.
  2. In this particular instance, I know she still lives in the city we went to school in, and is still friends with people we both know.
  3. I also know that we share no common interests.

Those facts notwithstanding, such a person should probably send an accompanying note with their friend request, which Facebook supplies.

I make plenty of friends. Facebook hasn't ever been involved, and I think you're being a bit dramatic saying that no new friendships will be formed if we all stop accepting unwarranted friend requests on Facebook.

[–]l30 -2 points-1 points ago

Oh you've got friends? good for you.

[–]Not_a_communist 30 points31 points ago

I honestly just prefer waiting until someone I know requests me. I'll often encounter someone that is the same way. It's pretty common for a Facebook standoff to occur until one of us caves and sends a friend request.

[–]imboring 0 points1 point ago

Yup me too. I always feel like a creeper when sending a request, unless it is someone I know really well.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Agreed, but I guess some people think the world is just obsessed with stalking their every move if that interaction doesn't necessarily continue or if it drops off after a while. Never mind that Facebook can be a useful tool to easily drop someone a line if you aren't messaging back and forth every week.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]geordilaforge -1 points0 points ago

Cause communicating with people you know is...creepy?

[–]yesukai 8 points9 points ago

Hah. Yeah, a long time ago, I denied people left and right. "What? You're not my friend. I barely know you. Denied." and "Hah, yeah right Aunt Fundie, you are most certainly not my friend."

As time went on and more people started to take Facebook more seriously and I started having to add people to groups that just didn't allow them to see me or interact with me in any way. But then they started figuring that out... and I just ended up deleting my facebook account all together. Probably been a year now, I don't miss it at all.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]SwampySoccerField 5 points6 points ago

this is where you go with the "mom i love you, but i don't want you to see everything i say and do with my friends on the internet. just like you don't want me to know everything you do with dad while im not home."

you are out of college man, man up.

[–]CatchFeesh 12 points13 points ago

I have a constant growing list of friend requests that I neither confirm nor deny. If I'm ever confronted about it I can plead ignorance and go home and accept, but in the mean time I won't be getting any repeat requests...

I call it Purgatory.

[–]ICanBeAnyone 0 points1 point ago

Also I don't request myself, I found people will do that for you.

[–]MizterFreez -1 points0 points ago

I quickly adopted this strategy when a gay dude I barely knew in high school kept trying to add me after being denied.

[–]riotingchimps 0 points1 point ago

[–]JSBUCK 1 point2 points ago

[–]kotszak 2 points3 points ago

My real friends don't use facebook.

[–]navyman8903 3 points4 points ago

I love it when people freak out if you friend request them. It is a friend request, not a marriage proposal.

[–]AnaBackwards 7 points8 points ago

If they don't accept my request within 3-5 business days, I cancel it and I pretend it never happened.

[–]Shoecrown 1 point2 points ago

I feel like adding acquaintances to my friend's list has only ever had negative results for me. People can learn too much about you too fast; part of growing into a friendship is revealing likes and dislikes at a gradual pace. If you're just given a whole character sheet on someone, it becomes too easy to write them off. I have tons of good friends that I could have easily disregarded if I solely went off of their facebook page. That's why when I receive friend requests from people I'm not well-acquainted with, I'm flattered, but I'm also reluctant to accept.

Edit: If you're the girl whose friend request I didn't accept tonight after talking about the unicorn shirt, I'm sorry I offended you!

[–]bigcitycrows 1 point2 points ago

I feel the same way; FB to me now is how I imagine MySpace felt to people my age who had one- honestly, for the past year or two I've been too busy with my Cool Awesome Improving Life to give much of a shit about updating my FB, so now it's a reflection of a past, less-developed, stupider version of myself, but as captured by people who bother to post photos of me to FB, which means the overall Facebook Self makes me look like a much freakier schmuck compared to my Current Actual Self.

In other words, yeah, I'd much rather acquaintances not know I have an FB.

[–]SoldaatvanOranje 1 point2 points ago

Facebook does not equal friendship.

[–]qtx 1 point2 points ago

You guys take Facebook way too seriously.

[–]EagleEyeInTheSky 0 points1 point ago

[–]ekdaemon 4 points5 points ago

Here's what I think when people friend me -- people I barely know, who were never any type of friends let alone good or close friends, who are not family of any type, AND who live more than 300 miles away from me (more likely 1500) AND/OR in many cases whom I haven't seen in 20 years:

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

If we were "friends" I'd accept your request. You know GOD damn well we merely "know of each other" or you're just a "close friend of my brother". Take your "500 friends" and go fuck yourself.

You're not a bad or unlikeable person. We're just NOT "friends"! Don't tell me knowing you exist makes us "friends". IRL you wouldn't ask to come to my dinner party, hell, you don't even know I'm HAVING a dinner party - because we don't have any normal real life interaction OTHER than those rare occasions when our worlds intersect temporarily.

Facebook is for my good friends, for my close friends, and for my immediate family.

NOT for everyone within 6 grades of me in high school. NOT for all the people I met once because they know someone I know. NOT for co-workers that don't regularly drink beer after work with me or play golf with me and MY FRIENDS.

[–]stephadelic 7 points8 points ago

Yes, yes.. let the loneliness flow through you

[–]PantherModerns -2 points-1 points ago

[–]ageeksgirl08 0 points1 point ago

My husband's cousin keeps trying to send friend requests even though I've told her that after the great "Family on Facebook Disaster of 2012" followed by "The Great Purge," I'm not, under any circumstances, going to add family members to my facebook list. I'm still dealing with the repercussions of it.

[–]CheeseWedge 0 points1 point ago

Now I know how I make people feel when I don't accept their friend request due to the fact I've never met or seen them before in my life.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I find it hilarious when people get butthurt over being unfriended on some stupid website.

[–]spinningmagnets 0 points1 point ago

I feel your pain, but...I think everyone has had a few "friends" who insisted on becoming my friend, and then...never hear from them again. Some people just want a high "friend-count"

I've experienced this recently by people who tracked me down on FB from our high school. they weren't interested in me then, and they don't interact with me now. But they insisted that I friend them immediately...

[–]ableom 0 points1 point ago

It's probably because you aren't friends.

There is

[–]ponimaju -1 points0 points ago

There should be an option to see pending friend requests and cancel them. A while ago some friends decided to friend request a bunch of random people as friends on my FB instead of just updating my status to something about gay cocks.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin 0 points1 point ago

There is.

[–]ponimaju -1 points0 points ago

You can see friend requests that you have sent yourself but have yet to be accepted, and cancel them? I'm thinking you just read the first sentence of my post, unless they are hiding this feature somewhere other than the place where you can only see pending friend requests from other people to you.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, if you send someone a friend request and want to cancel it, go to their page and instead of an "add friend" button there's a "Cancel request" button.

[–]joeldavis 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty much exactly what wasn't said.

[–]ponimaju -1 points0 points ago

You totally misunderstood me. I meant view them as a whole like the ones you have sent to yourself. Obviously if you don't know who someone who has used your facebook has sent requests to, you have no way of going to their page and hitting cancel request. Though I guess this ties in with the whole not notifying you when someone rejects your friend request, since I guess if it was just sitting as pending for a long time you'd know they are just ignoring it.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin -1 points0 points ago

Oh. Well, sounds like you're screwed and just look friend hungry to a bunch of strangers.

I have a couple of pending friend requests and they are there because I don't know or remember who these goddamn people are. Some even have a lot of mutual friends. Should I just accept so as not to hurt feelings?

[–]pagirl 0 points1 point ago

Maybe add them and if you don't like them, unfriend them.

[–]diegoami -2 points-1 points ago

I usually remove a friend request if they don't confirm it in a week. I always take that as a refusal. Unless I know they are on vacation in the wilderness and have no access to the net.

Not to confirm a friendship is the passive-aggressive way to refuse it, usually done by insecure women and homosexual/metrosexual guys.

Though what I hate most are the ones who won't unfriend you, but will put you in a blacklist so that you cannot see their photos and wall - you become a second-class friend. Two girls did that to me. I unfriended them of course, both on Facebook and IRL.

You're a needy bastard.

whatever. It's a free country.

[–]PantherModerns 0 points1 point ago

The greatest and most effective response to anything: "It's a free country."

[–]diegoami 0 points1 point ago

Well, I just wrote my opinion and you insulted me for no reason, so what do you expect ?

Bye.

I try to make a habit of not using facebook, so I only add people if I can't contact them by cell so I end up with a bunch of friend requests from people who I'm friends with but I don't add them because fuck facebook.

[–]Tittycats -1 points0 points ago

you should be

[–]rick2882 0 points1 point ago

Well I'm glad you got the message.

[–]Sisaac -2 points-1 points ago

/r/mfw. Please.

[–]comanon -1 points0 points ago

No... you aren't annoying anyone with friendship... you're annoying everyone with your updates about lunch, and the ambiguous depressing song lyrics.

[–]dnick 0 points1 point ago

A friend request on Facebook has about as much to do with 'friendship' as the US Defense Department has to do with 'defending' us.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

I had this happen recently. I noticed an old friend on Facebook and thought I'd try to add them, so I went to their profile and saw "Friend Requested...".

I realised I tried to add this guy a year ago and he never responded. I kept praising him for being a great friend to me for the last 3 years, and that one event made me realise that he's a dick. So I removed my request. I don't want to get back in contact with him. I have a sneaking suspicion that he's not the only person who is still pending either.

[–]PantherModerns -5 points-4 points ago

Get the fuck off facebook you piece of shit.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Please get brain cancer, slowly lose your conscious and happiness, then die painfully you dirty fucking arrogant cunt.

Also, you might want to qualify your brain-damaged induced statements, since otherwise you look like a ugly, retarded neckbeard that deserves to be euthanised for the sake of us who deserve to not breathe the same air as someone as unpleasant, vile and confrontational as you.

Asshole.

[–]PantherModerns -1 points0 points ago

You should post this drama to your facebook wall. Because that's real life, and it matters.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

You're a fucking idiot, you stereotype me from a single comment like a butthurt basement dweller. Good luck being a little bitch.

I seriously hope you don't make the next year alive.

[–]PantherModerns -1 points0 points ago

Awwww! I done scurred you right off of the internet, [deleted].

Who's butthurt?

[–]athousand -1 points0 points ago

I allow them a week to accept. If they don't accept and I see that they have been online multiple times I will cancel the friend request. Its like "oh you don't want to be internet friend then fuck you!"

[–]JustSomeGoon -3 points-2 points ago

It's because your not looking for friendship, your just a fucking Facebook whore.

[–]STXDakota -3 points-2 points ago

I seriously wonder about people deleting / not confirming friend requests (which isn't completely out of the blue) - I think these people have some self confidence/anxiety issues. Its like they think facebook is this super important thing where they need to have a cool front which everybody is constantly watching. 2 people have randomly removed me from facebook, and both of them are people with relatively few friends who act tough and seem uncertain about social situations in general. Many people have ignored my friend requests, its the easiest way to know if I wanna be friends with these people or not.

[–]bigcitycrows 0 points1 point ago

I only accept requests from people I can be completely open with; if we aren't on cosleeping terms or I can't go to you because my family disowned me, I'm not comfortable with you being able to dig through pictures of me before the sex change.

In other words, assume that either you need an emotional moment of intimacy with these people or that they're transsexual and it will make a lot more sense.

[–]LoneCookie -5 points-4 points ago

or when someone deletes their facebook and starts a new one and ignores my joke that they "forgot to add me" during a fb group chat and then I never see them again >x[

[–]cruelladekill -1 points0 points ago

A girl at my work proclaimed, "I get so many friend requests that Facebook asked me if I wanted to allow subscribers!" .. I died a little inside

[–]TheShrubberyDemander -1 points0 points ago

This is how I feel after this really cute girl I know from school who was really nice to me has yet to accept.

[–]Bouda -3 points-2 points ago

Scumbag Facebook

Suggests friends to add

Bans you if you do

[–]wrecksause -2 points-1 points ago

Same thing goes when someone doesn't text back.

[–]tora22 -3 points-2 points ago

I'm so glad I never got caught up in the facebook faux "friendhship" thing.

[–]Mezecs -3 points-2 points ago

It's probably because you're a cunt and nobody likes you.
