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?

I would message one last time.

'I see you don't want to respond to my messages after blocking me which I find hurtful as I've been there for you in your toughest moments. I am now going to move on'.

OP please don’t start drama by sending this. You’ll gain nothing.

Or alternatively just move on and leave the ball in her friend's court. Gracefully.

ns87 · 20/08/2025 11:15

That's fine, I would want to send something

If I missed something, then I apologize. However, in the message I read, I see nothing about phoning:

I certainly am not going to slog through 300 posts to see if there were details the OP forgot to include.

You don’t have to read all 300 posts, just check OP’s ones.

No reply. I guess that’s it then. So, so hurtful.

Either she has personal issues and doesn’t feel able to respond
Or, she’s just not a nice person. In which case it’s good you’ve found out now so you can invest your time & energy elsewhere

Block her on WhatsApp now and forget about her, she’s not worth it, her behaviour of hosting you without explanation was intended to hurt you and you are letting her achieve what she wanted

Oh this “friendship” will have been one long drama so why not finish it with yet more silly antics

Or even @MsAmerica, you could read past the OP. 😲

That’s an uncharitable and unhelpful assumption, seems like projection.

Oh come on

the birthday celebrations a month ago that the Op wasn’t invited to and only saw on SM photos. That the Op forgot to mention in her Op when telling us that all this blocking has come completely out of the blue, when patently it hasn’t.

Then they get together a fortnight later but not a word mentioned about it.

and then the blocking on FB

oh and the fact that the Op until later on in the thread was claiming that FB messenger was the only platform through which she and her friends and communicate

oh and fact that the OP and her “best friend” have just one mutual friend who is also not responding to the Op. And the OP doesn’t really have other friends

And the fact the Op knew the BF has blocked and deleted in the last but didn’t seem to bother her then.

It is all a bit tangled and all, ever so… silly

Well when you put it like that I suppose 😆

MamaElephantMama · 20/08/2025 16:00

Block and delete her so she can’t respond in the future.

pictoosh · 20/08/2025 17:25

How bloody childish...her not you.
She's too old for 'no speakies'. Unless you have committed some dreadful faux pas, it's pathetic.

I assume you've got the ick with her now anyway.

Mary46 · 20/08/2025 17:33

God not nice she sounds controlling. No reply speaks volumes ah op thats hurtful isnt it.

Onceisenoughta · 20/08/2025 18:33

Women behave like this in their 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s and especially during school years. You'd think they'd get better at being a friend as they get older but they really don't. There's always some poor sod in the firing line, but they rarely act alone - it's cruel and it's isolating. The loss of a so-called friend overshadows the bad behaviour they displayed that you passed off so many times and made allowances for to preserve the friendship - that's why it hurts even more. It's like any other relationship that doesn't work out. I've been stung like this loads of times throughout my life and it's still happening to this day. They'll never tell you why because that would mean being honest and they'll do anything to avoid that.

GirlPolo · 20/08/2025 10:57

What does the failure to respond even mean??

I don’t know

but this is why I said to go round and see her face to face

Nah this is a bad idea. No matter how poorly she’s behaved she has a right not to engage with OP. Sending a message is one thing as that gives her the option of easily not replying, but going around there is another thing. That’s verging on intrusive.

OP has tried her best . Now she should take the hint, move on and know that it is this woman’s loss.

XWKD · 20/08/2025 21:48

She's not worth the bother.

Whereas you’re a sneering, mocking poster. Thinking you’re above all this, and definitely not like the other girls. Go you.

Sorry?

SaratogaFilly · 20/08/2025 22:27

Just leave it now Op, don’t block her but don’t chase a reply either. Allow yourself peace and move on.
