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?

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

Have I missed a funny thread? Would love to find it if I have

Lizzbear · 21/08/2025 22:34

And posters on MN do sometimes love to create a bit of drama, however baseless.

If it’s not school gate cliques, it’s narcissist best friends or toxic mother in laws or insane neighbours.

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 22/08/2025 06:51

Scroll on by then, @Laxoverhols. Or are you rather enjoying carping at OP?

I agree that there's a fair amount of overwrought drama on mumsnet.
I also think that cliques, narcissistic friends and toxic mothers-in-law are common and there's a lot of fundamentally unpleasant people around who thrive on making other people feel terrible.

People don't come on here to discuss their well-balanced relationships do they?

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.

But if friends surely that makes sense

but I would t have kept texting

I would have gone to see face to face. If they didn’t open door /talk to me then I would know

This is happened to me too.
It’s been three months now. In the beginning, I wanted her to come back, but now I wouldn’t open up the door for that sort of behaviour in my life. It shows more about them as a person, more than likely you did nothing wrong.
There are people out there that will treat you nicely, respect and value you as a friend!

A month ago the friend celebrated her birthday, chose not to invite the OP, felt very comfortable posting photos of the celebration all over SM.

The other day, said friend blocks and deletes the OP

Since then the friend has ignored the OP’s messages

I don’t think the “friend” could be more clear. And so rocking up at her front door is going to be nothing short of crazy-behaviour

Exactly. Crazy behaviour indeed.

Sometimes you just need to read the room and move on.

Just go over and knock on her door!

Skin as thick as a rhino

the friend couldn’t be more bloody clear. She wants nothing to do with the OP and doesn’t appear to have done for some time if she didn’t invite her to her birthday celebrations a month ago

Mary46 · 24/08/2025 11:56

I wouldnt knock at the door. It is hurtful when no reason for it. Op has she replied at all. You would be hurt though.

Reebokker · 24/08/2025 13:28

I don’t think OP should knock on her door. Although it is very immature to digitally block someone. In the old days if you lived close by, the friend would have no choice but to face OP & offer some sort of explanation. But if the friend wants to be weird & hide behind her phone then let her get on with it. OP should find some new hobbies & new friends. She can do better than this so called friend.

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 24/08/2025 17:29

Can't you just go see her in real life? It's seems really bizarre to me that Facebook holds so much power that being unable to reach someone translates into ' the friendship would never be the same now, she's ruined it'- I am clearly a 🦕

I’m a dinosaur too. There seem to be so many posts on here about people being blocked by close friends on Facebook or WhatsApp. Why aren’t close friends saying in real life if they’ve got an issue? The whole blocking thing is so weird and passive aggressive. Not to mention unnecessarily final - it wouldn’t occur to me to block anyone unless they were a stalker or perhaps an ex I didn’t trust myself not to get back together with.

Read the Let Them Theory - honestly l have no capacity for this kind of drama these days but l understand why you are upset xx

I was literally thinking this. Life changing book.

GirlPolo · 25/08/2025 15:06

No, no response.
To be clear - I am definitely not going to go over to her house! I’ve made all the contact that I’m comfortable making so that’s that. I’m just still so confused! How can you go from discussing days out with the children to just blocking someone?! Guess I’ll never know!

Forget about her, be glad she showed you who she is ratting than you investing any more time in this ‘friendship’

But didn’t you think like this a month ago when she didn’t invite you to her birthday celebrations and then posted pics all over SM of the celebrations?

Lizzbear · 25/08/2025 21:08

Op. It’s so hard when someone doesn’t explain themselves. I think it’s cruel as it leaves you thinking the worst. I’ve had this recently and it really threw me. Sorry she’s treated you do harshly. You tried to find out. It’s her loss.
