FB clicky re: un-friending
Let's say you're 90% sure that someone un-friended you on Facebook, but you can't really think of a reason that they would so start to doubt you were friends to begin with? (sorry for the run-on)[Poll]
Re: FB clicky re: un-friending
I probably wouldn't. I suppose it depends on if I'm REALLY friends with them or if they were an acquaintance, a coworker, or someone from an online community. For someone that I considered a friend, I'd probably send a "hey, what gives?" email to see if there's a problem. For any of the other categories, I assume they had a reason for dropping me and I'm not really invested enough to press it.
I totally get this. I'm pretty sure we were friends for a while, so I'm guessing I just pissed the person off somehow. Wouldn't be the first time I suppose. ::shrug::

Random unfriending?! I've never heard of such things! Can we start a rumor that this is a normal thing to do? Then I can unfriend my MIL and if she brings it up, explain it must have been a random unfriending. I like this idea!
ha ha, random unfriending is not an accident. I think she means some people go through and unfriend several people at a time to get their friends number down. I have a friend who won't let his friend list get above 100 so anytime he adds someone he deletes someone else.

I'm fascinated by this. What's the point of restricting your friend numbers? I understand that you probably don't want to keep up with everyone you've ever met, but isn't that what the hide function is for? Or, just not friending them in the first place? Nothing against your friend, I'm just interested in the way people use Facebook.
FWIW, I don't think any unfriending is going to be random. I'd venture to guess that people that unfriend regularly to keep their numbers low aren't going to drop their husband or their BFF or people they are developing friendships with. It will be the weaker ties that get dropped - people you know from old jobs, high school (but don't keep up with) or acquaintances. Which is why I suggested evaluating your friendship with them before requesting to be added again.

Can I reevalute my relationship with my MIL? LOL, oh wait ....
Awesome.
For him I think it's b/c he's competitive. He also knows he's never going to have the most friends, so it's his way of not entering the competition he knows he can't win. I don't know why other people do it...

So funny you should post this... I recently figured out that someone unfriended me and I was really confused by it. I couldn't think of a reason why this person would have done so, in fact I could think of a reason or two for me to unfriend them, but not of anything I could have done/said to warrant unfriending.
I pondered on it for a bit that afternoon then moved on. ::shrugs:: Whatev. If it was someone I was closer to or really cared about, I would have noticed sooner and said something.. but otherwise, not a big deal.
