give me some love--FB friend deleted me

[samuraiguppy]

OK--so today I logged in to my Facebook account and noticed that I had several fewer friends. I have no idea why anyone deleted me--I actually haven't been very active for a couple of weeks--so I haven't done much of anything at all on facebook--but would people delete me just because I haven't been very entertaining for a couple of weeks? (I have been busy with the election and job hunting)

WTF?

I just feel very unloved and unwanted. show me some kindness DUers...after all I have been out there working my heart out for this election....that is why I haven't had much time for socializing...

People can be so crazy...

1. Sorry you're having a rough time, samuraiguppy.

Thanks for everything you're doing for the Obama campaign. :hug:

[samuraiguppy]

2. thanks for the support

I just feel kind of rejected. It isn't like I have done anything horrible--except maybe neglect my friendships for a few weeks. But I have a lot going on right now. I sure wouldn't delete anyone for that.

And I got no message or anything--just deleted...

very sad...

3. I think online friendships

just by the nature of the medium, can tend to move very quickly -- certainly more quickly than I move at times. Maybe that's part of the problem you're experiencing. I hope things fall back into place for you very soon. :hug:

4. that is very wise--

and then if someone is not keeping up with the pace for a bit--well it just falls flat much faster.

Oh well--nothing I can do....

5. are these friends repukes by any chance?

[samuraiguppy]

7. no--one is not American

so has no real stake in the election at all.

The other is very liberal--big Obama supporter. But--I hate to say it--but just the mere fact of being an Obama supporter does not necessarily mean you are the nicest person in the world. I know--most of us are very nice people--but this girl is self absorbed and can be mean. And she is not just a FB friend--we actually went to college together although we haven't seen each other in years. I think she is just high maintenance and was mad because I haven't been entertaining her lately.

Couldn't she have sent a note instead--like hey what's up guppy--are you busy or stressed right now? Instead--she just dumps me....

The other person was my friend from playing an online game--I haven't had time to do this lately--so I guess I don't blame him for dumping me--but still--dude--after the election I would have been back.

Bad timing that they both dumped me over the weekend.

It should be a lesson to me not to neglect my friends--but instead I have decided that I don't want to mess around with high maintenance people anymore.

6. In that case...

I'll take you off my Ignore list.:)

[samuraiguppy]

8. you were ignoring me?

I never even knew I offended you! Thanks for the second chance.

[jeff30997]

19. What ? No!

I was just kidding.How could I had seen your post if you were on

my ignore list ? Besides only 3 peoples are on ignore and it takes

a lot to force me to do this. You seem like a great person.:hug:

Sorry for my stupid joke.

9. I hardly pay any attention to any facebook friends.

I may log in and that's about it. Unless it's an email of substance, I really don't have time for any heavy involvement in social networks. If someone "pokes me" on Facebook, they're lucky if I even notice within the same month! I don't delete people either. The only exception (theoretically, not inferring it applies here) might be if someone became upset I wasn't spending enough "internet time" with them. That kind of drama would be a big turn off.

[samuraiguppy]

10. before I got into the election I was hanging out

there a lot--but doing some games/applications that I liked. So people got kind of used to me responding quickly, accepting the things they sent me etc. Now--I haven't checked in for a while (I was in Nevada helping with the election and have generally been very busy).

So people are mad that I am all of a sudden not there for them.

You are right--the drama is a big turn-off...

Gen (the girl who deleted me) did it to get my attention--she wants me to come back and kiss her butt. Forget about it babe.

13. if I get ONE MORE "little green patch" request I'm going to implode!

I tried it out, and it is NOT leprechaun porn like I expected! :mad:

[samuraiguppy]

17. I like the way you think.

this is the kind of application FB could use!

[Runcible Spoon]

12. wow that's random

most people think the size of their friend's list is just as important as breast/dick size :shrug:

Sorry youre friends were being douches. I've erased a few over the years, but only the ones I don't know in real life who just added me to pad their count; we've never even exchanged a conversation. I also deleted a few of my students because it was kinda awkward reading their profiles. Some things I just DON'T want to know.

[DS1]

14. eh, I deleted an old, very good friend today

turns out he's a giant right wing douche

[Bake]

15. It's a WEB PAGE, fer cryin out loud. A WEB PAGE.

Don't sweat it.

16. People suck sometimes.

Don't let the bastards get ya down. That's what I always say. :hug:

[samuraiguppy]

18. thanks for some kind words--

that was really what I needed.

Anyway--I have lots of nice friends here--DU is a much more fun place to hang out.

[Lucian]

20. Well, a girl I liked added a buddy of mine and not me.

But I don't care. :shrug:

Facebook friends are a dime a dozen. Don't sweat it if they delete you.

[Unvanguard]

21. That may not be because people deleted you.

They could have deleted their profiles as a whole. Or there could have just been an error--Facebook is full of them.

[BlueIris]

22. That's terrible! (And yet another reason for me not to join FB.) nt
