Anyone get unfriended on Facebook? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MrCleveland · 07-24-2014, 08:23 PM

Is it because of what you post about your opinions, it was TOO graphic, or just because you're cleaning-up your site and accidentally took their name off your friends page...yet will still talk to you?

I have un-friended certain people who blabber on an on about their politics. I have my own views (which I keep to myself) and I didn't join Facebook to talk politics.

I don't take part on the politics boards anywhere. It causes hard feelings and arguments. There is enough negative crap going on in the world without having to hear that.

I try not to unfriend people, but i did have to do that because people refused to stop posting smart assed remarks on my page when it came to politics. I try to stay away from that topic, but occasionally I will make a politcal post. No regrets, because the interesting thing about politics is you will find out who your true friends are when you make known your views.

At the same time I have been unfriened by people who did not agree with my views. Didnt shed any tears over that.

Luckily, no.

Losing friends over politics is indeed tough.

As someone with no political affiliation, I find it impossible making friends with the far-right. I noticed that they hate people who:

1) Do not vote with their pocketbook.

2) Still have cable TV (someone even called for those who still have it to be slapped!).

3) Are not a fan of Golden Age Hollywood.

Yes, I've been unfriended by a bunch of people, or some just delete their page. Sometimes I go back and see if a person has unfriended me or deleted their page especially if I hadn't seen them on there in a while. Like MickeyMac said, I try not to unfriend anyone. But the only person who I unfriended was my niece who I really don't like. She makes vile comments about everything and negative comments about family and announces what she's going to do if someone "F--ks with her." I don't need anyone like that on my Facebook.....family or not.

retrofan05 · 07-25-2014, 06:16 PM

I have been unfriended by a few people, but don't know why. I am not overly political on FB, nor do I post a lot of controversial stuff. I can understand deleting someone if you have a problem with them personally, but if you just don't like what they're posting, why not just unfollow them? I have unfollowed several people because I don't like their posts whether political or otherwise, but I still like them as a person. It's just as easy to unfollow someone. You will no longer see their posts, but they won't be offended because you still have them as a friend.

MrCleveland · 07-25-2014, 06:17 PM

I don't unfriend either, but when someone unfriends me...they refriend me only because they were cleaning-out their FB page.

I rarely post anything dumb...especially when it comes to politics! Someone unfriended me because she thought I was TOO closed-minded (She lives in L.A. and I hope to never cross her in my life)! There's just more to America than The East Coast, West Coast, and Chicago!

She does not speak for people like me. I live in L.A., and I am NOTHING like her at all.

I have been unfriended by people who don't want to be in contact anymore and I have unfriended people I don't talk to anymore, and recently dumped all my farmville friends since it was only for the game and I don't play anymore. I have very few non family friends I kept that I still have contact.

icecream · 08-02-2014, 05:00 PM

I've been unfriended by three people in the last month, my friend count has gone down from 701 to 698. Facebook has a policy of not notifying someone when they've been unfriended but I wish they did, would save me time trying to figure out if it was someone important.

GARFIELDKOOL · 08-06-2014, 04:15 PM

I just got unfriended by a guy that works for my company. He had co-workers on his friends list and he posted a position that was open and he put the hourly rate that it was paying. One of the higher ups got word and he was talked to about it and was advised to take everybody off his list who was a co-worker. Plus, a few months ago we had to sign this sheet about posting on social media during company time.

I don't why I added my mom lol I unfriended my brother

Retro4Life · 08-06-2014, 08:47 PM

Not that I know of, but it's possible, I really don't check my friends' list that often.

I AM going to cull my own list a bit, though. In the early days of my account, I confirmed some folks that I really didn't know that well, and honestly, am not that interested in. I'm sure the opposite is true, too. Why people request friendship of folks they barely know is beyond me; then you get 'guilted' into confirming or risking 'hurt feelings'. I think they should call them "acquaintances" rather than "friends" because that's closer to the truth.
