Feeling a bit sad - ‘friend’ blocked and deleted me from fb.

And I have no idea why! She was one of my very closest friends, we were having discussions about days out over the summer hols and I went to message her only to see that she’s blocked and deleted me. I just cannot understand it. There were no disagreements, it was all good when we saw each other. I genuinely thought we were best friends. Or at least very, very close friends. Even if she unblocks me the friendship is done, I can’t get past this 😔
Anyone had anything similar happen to them?

Maybe she’s deactivated her account and you’re not actually blocked. Can someone else search for her on your behalf to see if that is the case?

Radiowaawaa · 17/08/2025 21:18

What’s she ‘blocked’ you on? Can’t you go and see her or contact her another way?

If it was social media she might have deleted it?

edit: sorry just saw it was facebook. Call her.

HuskyNew · 17/08/2025 21:18

Is it not more likely she’s deleted Facebook?
send her a text

I had someone else check and her account is still there, she’s just blocked me 😔

Did you recently ask her to look after your 19 month old DC for 4 days in October?

I did message her on her mobile number but no response. I’m assuming I’m blocked on everything.

Can you get the other person to ask why she's blocked you?

Luckykittycat · 17/08/2025 21:22

Oh it’s so much more likely that they have been banned from Facebook, I think. When someone gets fb ban it looks like they have blocked you but it’s just that their account doesn’t exist for a while….

oh whoops - cross post. Guess she has blocked you! Sorry OP!

I have but she hasn’t done it yet and I’m wary of dragging her into the middle of this.

I’ve never been involved with FB and when I read stuff like this I’m glad! Are you seriously going to accept this at face value and assume what you describe as a close friendship is now over? Despite saying everything is fine between you and you’ve not had cross words??

She could have accidentally done it. It could be some kind of FB glitch. But FFS get yourself into the real world and phone her and ask if everything is ok. Presumably if you are close friends you have her phone number. 🤷‍♀️

GAJLY · 17/08/2025 21:40

Could you message her another way?

I text messaged her but no response. I’m assuming that I’m blocked on everything, she’s done this before to other people.

I’d rather not take it at face value but it’s a bit difficult not to. She does have form for this with other people but there’s always been a reason. I’ve wracked my brains but just cannot think of anything I’ve done.

You need to call her at least then you will get answers . Pre mobile phones I had a very good friend who suddenly just started blanking me and it turned out that a third person had told her that I had said something about her ( not complimentary) and she chose to believe this person rather than asking me . We sorted it out and she said she believed that the third person had been stirring but it was never quite the same afterwards .

lol. Or bitch about her on here for getting her young daughter’s nails done and then hastily get your thread removed? 😬

Can you go and see her face to face?

Lizzbear · 17/08/2025 21:52

Oh dear. Try not to assume anything until you hear from your mutual friend. I get really upset over things like this as Im
sensitive to rejection, but some people are always blocking people…so childish x

😂😂😂I miss the laugh reaction

Mumdiva99 · 17/08/2025 21:58

You say there was always a reason for her blocking people before.....do you know that to be true or is it just what she told you? Some people are like this.
There was a school mum friend who i sometimes knocked around with for a few years.....you could see from outside she had a best friend she did everything with for 6 to 12 months......then something happened and she moved on to the next person. Surely not all those people were in the wrong....
It's not you, it's her. Don't get dragged into the drama. Move on with your head held high.

Richiline · 17/08/2025 22:05

Have you posted anything recently that coukd look like boasting or gives an opinion on something?

Show quote history

Just step back away and hold your head high, it's very painful, been there myself, but its also extremely cowardly, childish and spiteful.

Be glad she has shown her true colours, you don't need that type of person in your life.

SquishedMallow · 17/08/2025 22:13

I'm so sorry this is happened. I don't know why but this kind of thing brings with it a unique paranoia and twists your insides 😬

I've had it done too to me. But not even by a close friend but a mere acquaintance. And I literally am not a 'poster' or a spammer or an opinion/meme person. Just pop the odd family pic on. And I literally have zero clue what I was supposed to have done. I know she blocked me as I searched her on my husband's Facebook and there she is !

But it makes you feel weird doesn't it ?

The only thing I can think of is that :
a) you've done something to irk her that you're unaware of (in which case she's an absolute baby and you're better off without her if that's how she acts )

B) she wants out of the friendship but no balls so takes a cowardly way out.

C) ... Something has gone on between your husband and her. (I think it's a wild one but that's my only other explanation)

I had a "friend" remove me when I first started dating my husband. She also started glaring at me in my place of work (mutual place with DH, large organisation) turned out he'd dated her some years previous and cruelly dumped her and they ended on bad terms.

AgentPidge · 17/08/2025 22:18

@GirlPolo This happened to me and it turned out to be a FB error! Friend blocked me and I couldn't believe it. I bumped into him in the street and he asked me why I'd blocked him! After that there was a thread here on MN about it and someone said she got blocked by her sister that she was very close to - another mistake, and one that they laughed about because it was so ridiculous. Have a Google - there might be something about it online. So it's possible your situation is not what it seems. I hope so!
