I've defriended 3 poeple on FB, mostly because I don't know them very well and didn't want them to be seeing all my info. All 3 re-added me...

Nah don't do that. You shouldn't even have to explain yourself in these circumstances, but I've a feeling you'll have to considering the childishness you're dealing with.....so only thing you can do really and if they're p!ssed at you well tough sh!t. They're in the wrong.

I had people getting thick at me before for not accepting them on Facebook / Bebo (as in I never got around to clicking the accept button from their requests).

I guess being friends in real-life is worthless now that we have Facebook............All hail Facebook!

Strange thing: I de-friended a bunch of people recently because they're not friends, just old school mates who added me, and two of them have just sent me friend invites again. ???

I defriended a girl about six months ago. Totally forgot I did it. I went to mail her on Wed about a gig that was coming up in her home town and saw we were not friends anymore. I mailed her to ask why she unfriended me..................Then it hit me!! Have not heard from her.

Amidst all the confusion of this I am not sure if I am meant to kill her or is she meant to kill me??

When I saw the title, I assumed this was going to generally be about de-friending, and was going to post this story :<

Anyone over 20 that uses Facebook would need to take a look at themselves.

"Friends" indeed........

There ought to be a rule.

If you aren't Friends with people in like REAL LIFE, don't add them as 'friends' on Facebook.

There seems to be an inadequacy involved with the friends count.

There might be something in that which is why most of the people in my friends list ( all 80 odd ) I know from real life .

Ahh ..you see there's no bullying involved simply because I haven't defriended the person in question and I won't until I find out more but it does highlight the (as mentioned ) ... sometimes childish dilemmas ones has to face .

Hit the nail on the head there.. quiet day in the newspaper office, nothing unusual happening, a few rapes, some drive by shootings, murders, assaults.. all pretty normal.

Starts reading some more details about one, sees the thing were they used to be friends, had a falling out, "defriended on facebook" and wham!! 2 murders..

OMG!!!! Quick, put it on the front page!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I've read some serious rubbish in my time in newspapers but this takes the biscuit!! Another moronic article from an idiot parading around as a journalist :mad:

And whats worse? The idiots that work in newspapers over here pick up on it and give it even more airtime :rolleyes:

This has happened to me numerous times. And sometimes it didn't stop at one invite. There was a second when I ignored the first (after defriending them).

Christ, have some dignity!

Your 'friend' who you have 'defriended', say a few weeks ago or even yesterday, has no idea you 'defriended' them and prob doesnt remember friending you to begin with.
FB just recommends people who are friends of friends or 'defriended' people and just asks you to friend them. You dont have to and you dont have to accept their request at all! I have about 20 people pending for friending from my school days, I havent spoken to any of them in 10 years, why the fcuk would I be-friend you now?

God I hate FB, I just use it to keep up with one or two friends and to follow Tech News or some other such sh!te like that.

People being defriended tonight anyway. Something to do. :pac:

**** to pictures on the internet is weird now?

Does it always have to be videos?

lisaj · 10-02-2012 06:00PM

It's good to have a facebook 'friend' clear out.
- People you wouldn't stop to and talk to in the street, and especially people that you would ignore/blank
- People you wouldn't pick up the phone and talk to
- Anyone that you wouldn't want to see what you're up to

I think some people equate the amount of facebook friends that they have to the amount of real friends they have.

Hmmm...I dunno about that . I know many people who found old friends an aquaintinces through facebook so your suggesting it should only be a social network for under twentys ?

That's the thing I hate ...having to explain but I might just tell him to leave me out of it .I think there might be more to this ie , ( his ego may have been dented out of place ) which is why I wont just unfriend this person on demand

I wouldn't defriend someone, in real life or otherwise, simply because my so-called friend expects me to.

I'd be more likely to think less of the person who asked me to.

Exactly so I may have to defriend this person who's an old friend but who I think may have other motives for requesting this and I'm ' slightly ' curious as to why .

Yeah that's all well and good and whatever, but what annoys me is the people who post "Doing a clear out" and then 40 minutes later update their status with "If you can see this you've survived my clear out

"....

Complete and utter cunts! Usually when I see this I delete them myself.

why do they always get the opinion of the guys on the force 20+ years, i wanna know how the new guy is taking it, he probably thinks its fu3king awesome

Kinetic Eye · 11-02-2012 02:06AM

I recently 'unfriended' someone I used to be friends with a few years ago. The last time I saw him was about a year ago, and he said a lot of things I found to be really obnoxious and I realised I didn't like him all that much.
Nevertheless, I regret doing this, as doing so instantly made me feel incredibly childish. Something reminiscent of the playground about it. God only knows why I decided to do this after such a long length of time since I last saw him. There could be potential awkwardness at some point in the future as we have mutual friends but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

whatsamsn · 11-02-2012 02:13AM

The whole 'facebook friends' thing is a load of bollocks :pac:

That people add every single person they've ever known. Just so it looks like they have a 'social life'... "oh i'll add john. havent talked to him in 5 years. Not since I worked in that shop. Dont really like him. *clicks add* "

Dudess · 11-02-2012 02:16AM

Facebook doesn't notify people that someone has unfriended them, as far as I know.

Women have an obsession with clicking through friends of friends and constantly checking out pictures of 'friends' they never talk to. It's weird.

yeah, really that applies to people, rather than specifically women. I don't look at anyones anything unless i'm told about it.

was thinking the same myself - there has to be a reason for her doing it.

One of my better friends defriended me a couple of months ago, only figured it out when I went to invite him to something around Christmas, I guess that's me told so! why he's decided not to be friends anymore, well I guess I'll never know.

There's an app called Sync My Friends which shows who has defriended you or deactivated their account.
