"Oh no you wont" comes the smug privacy message that now greets you where once you were warmly welcomed. You reel, stunned, cut to the quick, devastated, speechless, horrified. Defriended? Me? How? I am awesome!!! Ok so you didn't really like this person much, didn't really have much in common, may not have even seen them in about 25 years, but that's not the point. They were your on your list and now they are not. And the worst part is you want to know why!!! But it would be a cold day in hell before you would give them that satisfaction. In fact, you would even seriously debate with yourself about spitting on them if they happened to find themselves on fire (nothing at all to do with the voodoo doll you had made of them and then threw on a lit match) . You are suddenly transported straight back to high school with all your teenage fears, insecurities and angsts., But luckily it only lasts a moment, because now you realise its only facebook and you weren't really friends anyway. Ohh and you realise you are probably just too amazing for them to handle ; )

Thats like, so highschool
As you may know, I have a little soft spot for facebook. I have been known to pop in every 5 minutes so often to check whats happening in the world of my dear FB friends. Its a bit of harmless, voyeuristic fun.But dear friends, Facebook has a dark side, a dark passenger if you will (just finished watching Dexter can you tell?) Something that can make the most confident person question their worth, leave them a quivering mess of "what if's and how comes?" That my friends is what we on the 'book call defriending. Yes you heard right. People sneakily deleting someone from their facebook friend list with not so much as a goodbye. Ofetn one discovers they have been defriended purely by accident. "Hmmmm havent seen any new photos or updates from Betty Sue for a while, I will just pop over and have a look at her profile".

Facebook can be such a pychological nightmare. You can really 'read' into things people write on their status and lots of people put things that are so cryptic there that you can be left thinking "what the? Am i the only one that has no idea what the hell you're talking about???"
ReplyDeleteI guess it's just one of those things you just have to take with a grain of salt and just remind yourself that your 'friend' obviously, most definately made a mistake when then 'defriended' you because clearly you ARE awesome!! lol!!
