Facebook (De) Friend Awkwardness
5 comments
You care too much about what other people think... I defriended tons of people, some I even see everyday. The awkwardness is created by you feeling awkward about it. Just don't give a damn, and it's no longer awkward
This is a great answer for more than just FB defriending.

I had a bad case of this for a long time, it still comes back from time to time.

Think of it as you are reducing clutter in your personal life. If these people are not really important, then they must not be really important. If someone was really a good friend, they would definitely tell you what they feel about it.
"I can't think of any reason why any of these people would de-friend me."
I am actually on the opposite side. I have so many fb friends that I wonder if they should actually be my friends on fb since I hardly havae any context remaining with them (met them during college etc. but never kept in touch afterwards).Yours is a nice problem to have.
If you only see them occasionally, they were probably just cleaning up their list. Stop being so sensitive.
doesn't that option work the same as a file or something posted on somebody's wall
I've read stories of FB friends disappearing due to the lack of db reliability and such so I'm not sure if either party actually de-friended the other.
Anyone else encounter this weird situation or have any insight about it? I can't think of any reason why any of these people would de-friend me.
