Un-friended?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I've been "un-friended", and by someone who had requested to be my friend in the first place (as opposed to the other way around).

Over the past few months, there have been times when I've thought about cleaning out my friends list and removing people who haven't been on here in a while, etc. But I never did because I thought about if they DID log on and saw that they'd been "un-friended", I didn't want to hurt their feelings.

But now it's happened to me. WTF? I can't help but wonder if it's all the stuff going on here with people's stbx's or exes getting into their journals, etc.

Or maybe it was something I said. Or didn't say. Anyway, it just gives me a not-so-nice feeling. I'm probably taking it all way too personally, but I guess I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

" don't take it personally...it may be that you haven't been on in awhile so they were cleaning out their friend list. personally, i've never thought about doing that.
if you need another friend, i'll be your friend and i PROMISE NOT to "un-friend" you :) "

" I've noticed a few I THOUGHT were on my friends list no longer. Some I know I've requested a time or two.

It's all voluntary... couldn't stop the stbx from leaving, not gonna worry about removals. "

" I think it could be as simple as not having enough time to be a good friend to so many.. I know I work better with smaller numbers and am able to offer support if I don't get overwhelmed with 100 friends.. I like to read the journals, offer support and be there for my friends but I would be online all day long if I had many many friends.. That is one possible solution. I am sure that there are others..

" I just "un-friended" someone for the first time a few minutes ago! (It wasn't you :) She hasn't been on in a long time and is happily married so I figured it was a safe bet she won't be back. I sometimes message all my friends with prayer requests, so I like to keep my list to people I keep in touch with. "

" My x was getting into my journals, it was obvious by comments he made to me so I unfriended those I wasn't sure of. I still have a feeling he is doing the same thing so If it is something really important I just privately message those I communicate with on a regular basis. "

" I guess you guys are right. It is hard to keep up with more than a few people daily ... the thing is, it took me a while to even figure out who it was! Clearly, I don't have enough to do. ;-) "

" I have unfriended some people, because I felt that my X could be snooping and was afraid and unsure. It didn't have anything to do with the people themselves, I tried to pick people who either hadn't been on in a long time, or with whom I never seem to message. I would have liked to pare down my list a lot more, but I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It was only because I needed to feel safe to journal my worries without having such a large audience.

" I have been "unfriended" and have done the "unfriending" due to a website glitch (I didn't do it and neither did my friend). It may have been done in error. You could always just ask! "
